This is Day 1 of a 10 week Strength Cycle from Catalyst Athletics (wfs). It starts on April 13th if you want to go back and take a look. I missed yesterday, so I combined yesterday and today's wod to come up with this.
Hopefully I can fight my severe case of 'icantstickwithaprogramitis' and follow this for the full 10 weeks. Only time will tell. I need to write up some goals for OL. This year's Olympic Lifting goals are to Clean and Jerk 225 and to Snatch my bodyweight. That might be a wee bit aggressive for 10 weeks.
Looking forward to this period of Olympic Weight Lifting specialization. I believe it's probably a must for everyone to take some time at one point in their crossfit 'career' and focus on OL. It doesn't have to be this much of a specialized focus, but it needs to happen at some point. They are simply that important. At least thats my story and I'm sticking to it. Go get your O-Lift on!

Dude.
I think I'm in. But, why go back to that cycle instead of starting the July 13th? Where we'd only be a week behind..
Oddly, I just sent BM an email asking about 'the oly bias at my affiliate' that he's mentioned before.
Anyway - I think we'll have more sticktoitiveness if we can compete.
Ohhhhhhh
Awesome! I'm real excited to hear that Joel! I don't really have time to respond with any kind of detail, but just wanted to let you know that I think its great!
Started with this cycle because when I asked Gregg Everett what cycle I should do when I was at his cert, explaining what my goals were and that I was doing CFSB, he directed me to this cycle. Seems his other common cycles are Bulgarian type cycles, but he doesn't always explain when or why or describe what during a new cycle. A little frustrating. So I'm going with the cycle he told me to do. Straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. I'll post a much more detailed analysis of the 10 week cycle shortly. Lets keep this dialogue up!
ok.
I might need to spend a couple days finding Oly 1RM.. I know what my 1RM maxes for Squat, DL and Press were at the end of my last CFSB cycle, but I wouldn't know what to put on the bar when he writes stuff like:
•Power snatch - 80% x 1 x 4
gotta split. will check back tommorrow after work.
