New Cycle: Nerves of Steel (Checkmark)
NEXT CYCLE: NERVES OF STEEL
Tracks on Nerves of Steel Cycle: Compete, Masters, Teens, 60, & Scaled
How long?: 12 Weeks
When?: Week of September 4 through week of November 20
Why?: Remember that EVERYTHING we do has intention. Here in the Mayhem Athlete Family, we do “CrossFit” year round, but we vary the volume, intensity and specific focus to line up with the appropriate time of the year. That holds true for this cycle as well! The goal of our next 12 weeks is to build a better foundation of strength, technique, capacity, endurance, and gymnastics. These foundational pieces will help us begin to form “Nerves of Steel” across all of our fitness and ensure we reap the benefits of training for the rest of our CrossFit season.
See below for an outline of what’s to come:
MAYHEM BURGENER STRENGTH
– Goal: Increase strength primarily in the squat, press and deadlift. Improve technique and speed in the Olympic Lifts.
– Progression: Nerves of Steel Strength Program = 12 weeks each of periodized (and aggressive) lifting protocols. Along with our VERY important accessory work!
– Weekly Frequency: 4-5 days
MAYHEM AEROBIC CAPACITY
– Goal: Improve and continue to build aerobic capacity to carry us through the next season, layering in more moderate intensity and interval based machine and running work. This longer process will help support high-intensity threshold fitness throughout our next competitive season.
– Progression: Varied machine and running work/intervals to support an increased aerobic threshold; Zone 2 Cardio and other interval work (including Running, Rowing, Skiing and Echo/Assault Bike)
– Weekly Frequency: 3-4 days of total Aerobic Engine work
MAYHEM GYMNASTICS
– Goal: Build capacity in our Ring and Handstand Push Up gymnastics!
– Progression: 8 weeks of Ring Complex and Handstand Push Up Complex program; along with supplemental accessory and bodybuilding work (September 4 through week of November 6)
– Weekly Frequency: 2-3 days
CROSSFIT a.k.a METCONS & INTERVALS
– Goal: Improve capacity across broad time and modal domains with varying intensity and volume through pure metcons and “Mayhem Athlete style” intervals, but it is still not the primary goal of this cycle. We will still approach these with the goal of becoming more comfortable in longer style metcons, and some interval based work. We will keep a similar frequency and slightly increased volume of these compared to our last cycle (NERVES OF STEEL). We still will be performing metcons last on almost all days of the week. You will still be able to maintain most of the fitness built this past season with these, and likely see some small improvements! Our “fitness” will still come back very quickly (and improve even more) once we begin to approach the next season and ramp up closer to the end of this year!
– Progression: 12 weeks of balanced, varied and intentional metabolic conditioning with a variety of movements, time domains, loading, and intensity
– Weekly Frequency: 5 days
MAYHEM BODYBUILDING
– Goal: Stay Swole! Ha! The bodybuilding will be incorporated (with lesser volume than last cycle) throughout the week to keep our joints healthy, tendons fresh, and muscles strong!
– Progression: 12 weeks of varied bodybuilding to keep training “fun” and support the rest of programming, and support you further into the competitive season
– Weekly Frequency: 2-4 days
