I'm about to change my program up slightly to give myself something to work toward. For example, Powerlifters have meets to work toward. Endurance athletes have races to work toward, crossfitters have metcons to work toward, etc. So what does a hybrid athlete have to work toward?
(d) All of the Above
I'm going to add one week on to my cycles, on the end, and that will be the "Competition Week." So for four weeks, beginning with a Deload Week, I'm going to work toward that Competition Week. In the Competition Week, I will attempt to set new 1RMs for each of the primary lifts, my pull exercise for the cycle (which I'm adding back in) and any assistance exercises that I want to max out on. In addition to that, I'm going to do one metcon "for competition," and also one endurance race. Here is what I plan to do this month:
Squat Max
Deadlift Max
Bench Max
OH Press Max
Weighted Pull-up Max
Split Jerk Max
"The 1920's" (Metcon)
Run a 5K
I think this adds a cool component to all of this that may have been missing. So what are your thoughts?
