Summer is Coming Hypertrophy Cycle

The CrossFit Open was fun! Many of you stepped out of your comfort zones and tried movements and weights you'd never tried in class! Hopefully you were inspired to learn some new skills and get stronger in the coming year!

But this summer when you're at the beach, no one will ask how many reps you got on 22.2. 

It's time to take a step back from going as fast as possible. 

And take a big step into adding lean muscle mass, improving movement patterns, and getting STRONG!

We will continue to do metabolic conditioning workouts (MetCons) but the focus will be less about doing as many reps as possible or as fast as possible and MORE For Quality, Power Output and/or Load.
