LAYOUT OF THE WEEKEND
Going into Saturday, you all should have tackled Event 1 – the 1-RM Clean – and hopefully hit a nice PR in the rush of competition with that. Most of you also should have tackled Event 2 – “Amanda.” Both of those are low volume events that are easy to recover from, so hopefully you are feeling great and ready to hit it hard today.
There are a few different ways to approach the scheduling of these events, and you will need to know a bit about yourself to determine your best option. Of the workouts, the only one that creates a major recovery issue is the 100s. If you tackle that with optimal intensity, it could be really tough to bounce back and hit it again a couple of days later. Unless you’re really concerned about that one from a performance perspective, I think you may be better off waiting on that until Monday…essentially making it your final effort for the weekend. If you choose to do that, you’ll hit Event 3 hard on Saturday morning or mid-day, then rest the remainder of the day, and give yourself the option of tackling Event 2 or 3 for a second time on Sunday if you believe it would benefit you.
Your other option is to double-up on Saturday, tackling Event 3 in the morning, and Event 4 later in the day. I would only even consider this if you can separate the two efforts by at least 4 hours, and during that 4 hours you can get some downtime to do nothing but relax and get your body prepared for the next event – compression devices, light circulatory massage, etc…. If you opt for this option, you will rest on Sunday and come back on Monday to take a second crack at one (or possibly two) of the events.
If you opted not to take on “Amanda” yesterday because you don’t have muscle-ups, then hopefully you performed Event 3. If that’s the case, today could be your day to tackle Event 4! Hit it hard, and without regard for where you may finish in the final standings. There is much greater value in competing to explore the outer limits of your potential than can ever be found on a leader board or through comparison to others. Put your best foot forward on the three events that you’re capable of performing and hold your head high when you exceed your expectations in those events.
Did event 3 today-11:35
Amanda 6:50 was 1:06 PR. I plan to do pull-up/ wall ball tomorrow and repeat HSPU mon unless anyone thinks that’s a bad idea? Thanks for your input! Brandon 44-49
That can work Brandon, but in my opinion, the 100s will be the hardest event from which to recover. Might be better off tackling 3 again tomorrow, and then take on the 100s on Monday.
