Happy Sunday, CrossFit Fernandina!
We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and are ready for another great week ahead.
July ended with a bang as we kicked off our new strength cycle, and now August is here—we’re excited for everything this month has in store!
Week 32: Pulling Strength Phase (Week 2 of 6)
. This week continues our pulling strength focus and begins with a special addition to class programming: the Flexion Row
. This accessory movement is designed to be performed with quality and control, starting from a deliberate flexed position and moving into spinal extension. It’s an excellent exercise for building back strength, improving lat engagement, and helping newer athletes better understand and feel spinal movement while developing stronger midline control.
We’ll close out the week with our long, low-intensity conditioning session featuring carries and steady work to promote recovery while building endurance. In between, expect plenty of two-part days packed with serious strength, skill, and power development.
FOCUS RUN:
Week 32 marks Week 3 of 8
in our current run focus.
This Week’s Highlights
- Monday: Learn the new Flexion Row before taking on the CrossFit benchmark Helen .
- Tuesday: Heavy deadlifts followed by a simple conditioning piece to reinforce quality movement.
- Wednesday: Handstand skill work and gymnastics-focused conditioning.
- Thursday: Power development with explosive movements and a challenging grip-focused workout.
- Friday: Long, steady conditioning featuring machine work, wall balls, and carries.
- Saturday: A strategy-based chipper where athletes choose how to break up toes-to-bar, dumbbell snatches, burpees, and the run.
