8 Week Cycle | Midline & Posterior Chain
Weeks 5-8
Quick Navigation:
Focus
The focus for the next 8 weeks is on helping athletes build a strong core and back. Midline stabilization and posterior chain engagement are key to athletic performance and will provide a great foundation on which to further develop our athletes. In particular we will use the Deadlift and Toes to Bar as benchmark exercises throughout this cycle - testing in week 1 and week 8 to help assess our athlete's progress. While we will focus heavily on helping athletes grow in these two areas, we will round out their training with workouts spanning a variety of time and modal domains.
Week by Week
| Week | Goal |
| 1-2 | Review basics of performance and Test 3RM Deadlift and Max TTB* |
| 3-5 | Gradually increase volume, weight, & intensity of posterior chain & midline workouts |
| 6-7 | Taper slightly in preparation for retest |
| 8 | Retest 3RM Deadlift and Max TTB |
*Testing Deadlift & TTB should be "on the board" all week so that athletes who miss the test day are reminded to do these tests in their private time. Coaches should remind athletes to test their deadlift and TTB at the beginning of each class during week 1.
Class Flow
All classes follow a similar flow. We begin with a warm up followed by either a strength or skill session to compliment the movements we will do during the WOD. The second half of the workout is comprised of a Metcon followed by a cool down. Every training session includes "Extra Credit" which supports the overall focus of the cycle and helps us address movement patterns which tend to get neglected in typical CrossFit programming. The extra credit is not part of the 60-minute class, but can be offered to athletes who want to go above and beyond.
Fitting all this into a 60 minute class can be very challenging if we are not disciplined about our time management. Every training session includes a sample timeline to help us manage the class and ensure that we are not falling behind schedule.
Week 5
Cycle Context
Over the coming weeks we will reduce the number of reps per set on our deadlifts, and should be challenging athletes to increase the weight each week. Meanwhile, we will provide more time for practice (and slightly less time for coaching) during our skill work to ensure that athletes are getting in sufficient reps to learn and develop.

Points of Performance: Low Bar Box Squats
- Make contact with the box, but don't lose tension - we are not sitting down for a relaxing poo! 💩
- Shins should be perpendicular to the floor at the bottom of the squat
- Back can be at a slight forward angle throughout the movement
Coach's Challenge: Check in with athletes to make sure that they are feeling this movement through their entire posterior chain. If necessary, give them a tactile cue by touching their spinal erectors for 1-2 reps to make sure they feel the muscles engage.

Strength/ Skill
NA
WOD
"Go the Distance"
40’ AMRAP
30M Walking Lunge
20M Sandbag Carry (150|100#)
10 Handstand Push UP
Coach's Notes:
Goal: 10 Rounds
Scaling: Unfortunately we won't have time to run through a full progression for the HSPU today. Athletes who are comfortable going inverted should do HSPU (with limited ROM if necessary). Those who cannot consistently get against the wall should do Pike Push Ups. Whatever variation athletes choose, they should go unbroken for the majority of the workout.
Coach's Challenge: Encourage athletes to scale the weight of the sandbag and the HSPU so that they can go unbroken for at least the first half of the workout. We want to keep moving. If you see people standing around too much then help them scale the movements mid-workout.

Cycle Context
It's TESTING WEEK! Our athletes have been grinding away for the past 8 weeks, with the aim of improving the engagement, stability, and strength of their posterior chain and midline. Now it's time to measure the payoff! We will measure our 3RM deadlift on Monday, and our Max Toes to Bar on Tuesday. Remember to celebrate wins with your athletes! Ring the PR Bell, do PR Burpees, heck- bake them a PR Cake! Make sure they feel good about their progress, no matter how big or small!

Warm Up
5' Flow:
20 Cal Row
10 Breaths Oblique Opener
5 Rower Pike Ups
Then coach the class through the following Deadlift Progression:
- Activate upper body: From the starting position of the deadlift, activate the lats and pecs by "bending" the bar backwards and "squeezing" the hands together. This should activate the upper body and help athletes maintain a more neutral spine.
- Bar to Knees: Send the hips back until the bar reaches the top of the knee - focus on the stretch in the hamstrings. Squeeze the butt to stand up.
- Bar to Floor: Once the bar has cleared the knees, bend the knees slightly until the bar is at mid-shin. Cue athletes to push their abs out against their thighs as a means of bracing the core. Drive through the heels and squeeze the butt to stand up.
Strength/ Skill
15 Minutes to Build up to a 3-Rep Max Deadlift
Coach's Notes:
Points of Performance: DeadliftGoal: Find a new 3RM
Coach's Challenge: Remind athletes how to properly brace their core when setting up for the deadlift by taking a deep breath in and pushing the abs outward (cue: "Pop the belt").
Class Logistics: We are not doing this lifting session as an EMOM so that athletes are not all lifting at the same time when going for their PR. This will give you a chance to bring some energy into the room. Identify when athletes are going to attempt their max set, turn up the music, and get the class to cheer them on.
WOD
"Revamp"

Coach's Notes:
Points of Performance: Rowing
Goal: 15 Minutes (17 Minute Cap)
Coach's Challenge: This is a great chance to practice pacing as athletes will literally be able to see whether or not they are maintaining their pace, or slowing down. Challenge athletes to make the Cals/Hour metric get higher with every round.

Points of Performance: Toes to Bar
Goal: Find a new Max Set of Unbroken TTB
Toes to Bar Progression:
- Kip Swings
- Kipping Knee Raise
- Kipping Knee to Chest
- Kipping Toe to Bar
Class Logistics: Just like yesterday, get a little cheerleading group going when athletes are attempting their max set. Being watched and cheered on can have a significant impact on an athlete's performance - leverage this to help our athletes define new limits for themselves.
WOD
"Game Time"
5 Rounds for Time:
40 Double Unders
20M 1-Arm DB OH Walking Lunge (50|35# or 22|16KG)
10 Toes to Bar
Coach's Notes:
Points of Performance: Double Unders | 1-Arm DB OH Walking Lunge
Athletes should switch the arm supporting the DB after 10M
Goal: 10 Minutes (13 Minute Cap)
Coach's Challenge: Challenge athletes to pick a movement that they will go unbroken on for the entire workout. It doesn't matter whether they choose the DU, Lunge, or TTB - the idea is that they tell themselves "I will not break on this" and then really focus and push to make that happen.

Rope Climb Progression:
- Rope Row
- Rope Hang Knees to Elbow (Straight Arms & High Knees)
- J Wrap on Box to Stand
- One Pull for Max Height
- Rope Climbs
Athletes struggling with the end of this progression can be introduced to the J Wrapped Pull Up while advanced athletes move onto the Rope Climb. This is also a great scaling option for the workout later (3x the reps).
WOD

14' AMRAP:
1 Rope Climb
20M Sandbag Carry (150|100# or 70|45KG)
Coach's Notes:
Points of Performance: Sandbag Carry
Goal: 14 Rounds
Coach's Challenge: Challenge athletes to deliberately place technique over intensity in this workout. Don't rush through the rope climbs, forgetting what was practiced in the skill session, and don't run through the sandbag carry with an overextended back. Move well, then move quickly.

Strength/ Skill
15 Minutes of Guided Skill Work: Handstand Push Ups
Coach's Notes:
Points of Performance: Handstand Push Up
HSPU Progression:
- Box HSPU - Focus on hand position and core activation
- Negative HSPU (on Wall) - Apply hand position and core activation to actual movement
- Headstand Kick to Plank - Teach athletes how the hips are the main driver of the kipping HSPU
- Kipping HSPU (Limited ROM if Needed) - Apply hip opening to actual movement
WOD
Partner WOD - "Salt N Pepa"
10 Rounds for Max Reps:
1' AMRAP
10 HSPU
Max Burpees Over Partner
1' Rest
Partner A does 10 HSPU and then proceeds to perform as many burpees over their partner, who is holding a plank, before the 1' clock expires. Then both partners rest for one minute. This is one round. In the next round Partner B does the HSPU and Burpees, while Partner A holds the Plank.
Coach's Notes:
Scaling:- HSPU: Athletes should choose a rep target that they can hit unbroken.
- Burpees: In the Rx version Partner B would hold the plank for the entire minute. If athletes need to scale they can begin holding the plank only once partner A has finished the HSPU.
Points of Performance: Lateral Burpee
Goal: 100+ Burpees
Coach's Challenge: Challenge athletes to push the pace on the burpees. They will get one minute of full rest, one minute of active rest, and another minute of full rest before they need to work again. That's more than enough to fully recover.
