On Saturday 2008-08-30 I decided to try a new hybrid probram besides doing as many Crossfit Langley WODs as possible. Here's my plan for the next 15 weeks :
Sidelines Training
I decided to combine the 100 Burpies challenge (a lot of Crossfit Langley crazies are doing it so why not me) with the 'Recon Ron' pullup program.
Burpies Challenge explained
This challenge is easy on paper. How fast can you complete 100 burpies. Day 0 : Do 100 burpies for time. Then starting at day 1 with 1 burpie, add 1 burpie per day until you reach 100 burpies on the 100th day. Easy enough... yeah RIGHT !
Recon Ron program
This one is gonna be hard I think. It calls for a set number or pullups in 5 sets, every day for 2 weeks on the same plateau : For example I started at Step 10 : 6-4-4-3-3... that is 20 pullups per day every day... then you just to step 11 for two weeks (6-5-4-4-3 : 22 pullups) and so on. Look it up on the internet... it's a valid "grease the groove" program in my opinion !!!
The first problem I encountered with this MIX is that it's hard to split 100 days in 7-days weeks. So my plan will be to take a break of burpies every 20 days (5 breaks total = 105 days = 15 weeks, I'm a genius). Since the numbers are not too high for the pullups I will attempt to complete them EVERY day, but I will try to monitor my body and back off a few days if I notice any signs of over-training. I will be focusing on perfect form in the first weeks since I know that after a few weeks, the numbers are going to be hard to hit with perfect form. I'll keep my progresses posted here so I know where I'm at !
Rule # 1 : perfect form
Rule #2 : if I don't complete the reps for one day, I have to catch up the next day
Rule #3 : KEEP TRACK (I'm writing this 5 days into the program and have a hard time remembering !
Here it is... Will post my progress as much as I can.
