CrossFit FC East – Burgener Strength (Oly)

View Public Whiteboard

Message from Coach Sage about the new cycle! (No Measure)

“What’s up Mayhem Burgener Strength family!!! Welcome to our brand new, Into the Storm program!!

During this program we will be working on a variety of different things. You’ll see a lot of hinging, pressing and pulling strength exercises.

I have come up with some great Jerk skill transfer exercises that I know will be super helpful for improving your jerk, and some clean and snatch complexes that, if done with lots of focus, will improve your snatch and clean and jerk immensely. I also threw in some percentage work in the traditional snatch and clean and jerk to work consistency with your movement. Take each set very seriously and try to make them all look and feel identical.

A few of the things that I’m most excited about are the pulls from the hang and, of course, our running with lifting.

Attack each workout with an open mind, passion and tenacity and only good things will come out of it.”
