Gold Program Week 8 Test Week

We have focused our last 8 weeks on building our strength.  We have squatted twice a week, pressed twice a week including our Olympic Lifting,  We have used our benchmark wods such Isobel and Annie to monitor our fitness as well as strength tests such as max pull ups, max effort handstand push ups.

Here are the videos from our CrossFit Total day.  I sadly missed Allie hitting 125kg Deadlift (3kg pb) and Natalie came in a little late so only managed a video of her 82kg back squat (7kg pb).


In evaluating our overall achievements I have to say I am impressed by the work ethic of all the guys who have participated in this new program.  We have seen people go from no strict pull ups to 2.  0 HSPU's to 3. Increases in both Snatch and Clean and Jerk.  The nicest thing for me hasn't been necessarily all the personal bests. The style and efficiency that is starting to develop and prosper throughout our core moves across everyone is fantastic.  I have stressed the importance of the fundamentals throughout the past 8 weeks and the program has reflected that.  The proof is certainly in the eating and with our women now starting to hit double figures for kipping pull ups and the strict pull ups moving up rep by rep I am now able to plan the next 8-12 weeks at the next level :)

Great Job TAFS
