Open Gym Strength and Conditioning – Bodybuilding

()

Thursday Overview (No Measure)

Thursdays in Mayhem Bodybuilding normally include a monostructural (cardio) section and a metabolic conditioning (metcon) section.

Both sections will have certain functional fitness elements in their base programming to allow CrossFit athletes exclusively following the Bodybuilding track to touch on this style of training once a week.

Listen to your body and perform the cardio section each week as part of the regular Bodybuilding programming. If you are feeling good after the cardio section and want additional training or have a desire to keep the rust from forming on your CrossFit skills, include the metcon section in your routine as well.

Athletes Notes

Focus

Athletes should focus on consistent pacing on each of the assault bike sets.

They should pace the first but hammer down on the second set.

The focus of the wall walks is smooth throughout each of the sets and increase the speed as they get shorter.

The Farmer carry should be active recovery and heavy for an athlete but you should be able to complete 50ft unbroken at the weight that is chosen.
