February 2, 2022 – Competition Program

Hey crew!

We have some exciting changes happening within the Invictus Athlete Team. This will mean some restructuring of roles within the community. I will be switching gears and focusing my attention on Individual Program Design. It will mean that I will be less active on the blogs but don’t worry I will still be checking in to make sure you are all still pushing hard toward your goals. You’ll be in good hands with active coaching and check-ins from three experienced athletes/coaches in Holden Rethwill, Hunter Britt and Ricky Moore. Not only have these guys all been to Games as individuals or on Invictus teams, but they’ve also each coached at Invictus with our in-house athletes for more than 5 years.

If you do want to check in with me personally or have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out and email me at tino@crossfitinvictus.com.

Keep crushing it!

Athlete Notes:
Today we’ve got a fun little work/rest interval training headed your way! We want to see you push each of these intervals aggressively and see how long you can hold off. There will be dropoff at some point, but the goal is to keep your times as consistent as you can! The first 30/25 calories should be done in 90-100 seconds or less. The bar muscle-ups we are looking to do in 1-2 sets so feel free to lower the reps if this volume is too much (stimulus is important!!). The barbell complex is a heavier version of “DT” which we’ve done plenty of times. Set a goal in your head going into this workout as to how you want to attack the barbell. Ideally we are finishing each of the movements – deadlifts, hang cleans, and shoulder to overhead – in 2 sets or less! When you get to the bike at the end it’s time to hammer down! Remember, there’s always more in the tank than you think!
