January Programming 🎆
2023 Wrap-up | CrossFit Open Prep | New Merch đź‘• Drop
Look how far we have come! The door now closes on 2023 and we get to look forward with hopeful expectancy for 2024. Let’s tether our hope to a helpful plan going into the new year. Our goal is to approach the CrossFit Open this year better prepared to test our fitness.
If it’s your first time doing The Crossfit Open, welcome! Here’s a video that I believe summarizes The CrossFit Open well. Click below!
Finished the video? With all of the excitement surrounding the global CrossFit Open, there will be even more fun at our local Blue Eagle Open!
In fact, on January 1st we will have our pre-sale for our 2024 CrossFit Open shirts!
The way the Blue Eagle Open works is that we will divide teams equally within our gym to compete against each other from every division, whether scaled or RX, to see who comes out on top. To make it fair, each team will have the support of our very own coaches representing them. I can't wait to share more details with you in the weeks ahead!
So what’s the plan???🤨
We are going to target movements and metcons that reflect what you would typically see in the CrossFit Open. This will include programming with higher volume sets of movements and some movement redundancy within workouts to help build strength and stamina for Open-style workouts.
You can also expect to see higher skill gymnastics in the Open. Movements will include pull-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, bar muscle-ups, toes-to-bar, and HSPU, among others. While our programming already includes these movements, we will incorporate skill work for them at least once a week.
I'm so excited to see the progress you all make! Whether it's increasing our bar hang by 5 seconds, landing our first muscle-up, kicking up to a handstand on the wall, or stringing together 2 double-unders in a row, we're going to celebrate with you!
Speaking of celebration, let’s take a look back at December and 2023…
I want to first off say, thank you so much. Our team cannot do what we do, with as much joy and passion, without an amazing community like you all to serve. We truly mean that.
I want to celebrate you all with this year’s Wodify Wrap-up of 2023!
(I’m not sure why the photos weren’t updated. Apologies!)
Look at those PRs! 🤩
What an amazing year! Congratulations everyone on the progress that you’ve made. Here’s a highlight of what’s to come in January
January Focus
Welcome to January! This month’s focus is Open Prep.
Expect to see previous CrossFit Open workouts that include high volume sets and skill movements
We're going to prioritize the kip swing for pull-ups and T2B while still maintaining skills like double-unders. We will also incorporate skills like ring dips for muscle-ups to help you become more familiar with them.
