SAMPLE WEEK OF TRAINING
Programme Design - Two Part cycle, 6 week per cycle - 12 Weeks Total
Our training programme is designed to be Battle Ready at all times of the year. You will be primed for any competition at any given time. The CrossFit open is still a major focus and should very much be looked at as a big target to test your yearly development of fitness.

- Let’s do some conditioning! Intensity is the focus in this cycle. Dial back the loads if you need to so we can preserve the stimulus intended for each piece.
- The formatting will remain the same for the initial 6 weeks as we prepare for the beginning of the CrossFit open. Once we begin the CF open the formatting will change for the latter portion of this cycle to enable the best results for the CF open.
- We will not be doing as many heavy lifting days as the ;ast cycle but we do look to maintain our strength in this block and potentially build on some volume PR’s. As always, MOVE WELL!
- This is a good chance to get good at the things that suck! There will be plenty of combinations thrown out here in this cycle and by the time any competition comes up, you will be thinking “Been there, done it”.
- We have some cool gymnastic complex work and focus a lot on the handstand walk capacity and also variations of obstacles/slaloms.
- Aerobic capacity remains a huge part of this cycle. Wednesday has been allocated for longer duration running as it is the middle of a hard week which is more manageable to recover from. This will also increase our lactate threshold by elevating oxygen blood flow to muscles at a faster rate clearing lactate.
- Thanos 1.0 has been introduced and will soon become Thanos 2.0. If we have followed the programming appropriately, we all know that this was the hardest mental battle to complete each week for the last 3+ months. Your challenge in this cycle is to make this the most highest priority in the entire each week to complete. I promise you will be better for it by the end of it.
- Bodybuilding is now in the programme - This is an optional piece. However, if you want maximal gains, this would be very important and from a CrossFitters perspective ‘low stress’. Make sure the meat and vegetables remain the CrossFit portion of your sessions and the treats are left for bodybuilding. This is a good way for us to top our volume through multi planar motions, utilizing isolation exercises with specific muscle usage. It will also develop good tendon and joint health a long with isometric holds.
- Swim, swim, swim. Simple. If you want to compete - Swim!
- We will be using an RPE scale system for some exercises instead of using percentages. This will allow you to go off your bodies feeling for the day. Look to the RPE scale at the bottom of the programme to find out where your intensity for sets are when that arises.
- All in all, there are many cool formats in this cycle and we are targeting true CrossFit - A very broad range! Whilst we are doing that, we are still keeping some staples in the diet with the development of gymnastics (always).
- If you get stuck at any point, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the team at 64TrainingSystems
- Choose your own warm up that works for you. Get the blood flow moving and go to your typical stretches you like to do. If you’re unsure, use the BodyFix in the session. They can double up as a warm up or the last thing you do as a low intensive cool down.
- Sundays are for rest and recovery as we head into the new week with a bang! Enjoy your time recouping the body and mind.
