Yesterday, remedy I posted on the ideas behind CFO’s programming.  Today, tadalafil we’ll talk about what to you should expect to see in a given week, and how this will build out over the coming weeks and months.   CrossFit Oakdale will hold “pure” strength sessions 2-3 days a week.  I used to program 4, but I found this left me tired and depleted.  Never say never, and never say always, but I generally like to have a day where the focus is a “slow” lift (usually power lifts, heavier loads/less reps) followed by a day with the “fast” lifts (Olympic lifts, lighter loads/higher rep ranges/faster movement) or vice versa.   Strength is the foundation of fitness.  Even marathon runners need strength.  We will spend a great deal of time focusing on strength: power, speed strength, muscular endurance and more.   CrossFit recommends a schedule of 3 days of training,...Read more

Monday will begin our first week of training at CrossFit Oakdale.  I spent the last 2 years programming for CrossFit Modesto.  I got to learn what works best, online both for an individual looking to improve their fitness and running classes through various types of fitness challenges.  I’m still learning.  I’ve had the last month or so to think about what I want to see out of CrossFit Oakdale’s fitness program, cheap and I wanted to review it with you.  In part 1, I will discuss my thoughts on what is important in fitness.  It may seem that I’m talking about what is important for beginners, but the pursuit of beautiful movement performed at high intensity should be the goal of every CrossFitter.  In part 2, I will discuss the day to day operations of the CrossFit Oakdale program, so you can plan your week. First, you move well.  Then,...Read more

Opening day is almost here!  Just for your information, prostate we will begin signing waivers at 8:30.  The WOD will be a 20 minute partner WOD.  Don’t worry, if you didn’t bring a partner, we’ll find on for you.  We hope to kick off the first wave at 9 sharp, and if needed, we’ll run another heat at 9:25 or so.   Dazed and Confused – Talk to Me Johnny.  There is so much great stuff here, it’s hard to say where to start. Think today’s generation is soft?  Then we should take it upon ourselves to set the example.  I hope the example I set for my kids is the one they need.   Workout of the Day Bear Complex 5 sets, not for time, for the heaviest unbroken load of: Clean, Front Squat, Jerk, Back Squat, Jerk from Behind the Neck.
