BCCF March Athlete of the Month & the February Committed Club Results

What to expect in April at Blue Crab CrossFit, our April Athletes of the Month, and the March Committed Club Results

What to Expect in March February brought us some exciting training leading into the first week of the CrossFit Open. The first big win was testing a 1-RM Back Squat/ Deadlift POST workout. The idea behind this was not only to make sure we can move heavy loads under fatigue but also to prepare us for the CF Open, where there is almost always a heavy lift post-workout! We continued to see old CrossFit Open retest workouts along with testing out Benchmark for the month: The Chief! Leading into the first week of the Open we saw higher RPE workouts towards the beginning of the week that slowly tapered off into lower RPE workouts + a Thursday quality/ recovery day to make sure everyone was geared up for the Open workout on Friday! Let’s see how we are going to finish the CrossFit Open strong in March and highlight any other training focuses. The first two weeks of March are going to be similarly built to the final week of February. This is to make sure the CrossFit Open workout on Friday is the highlight of the week while also allowing everyone to still get a solid week of training in. Post Open, we will have our Leading Ladies Week, which honors National Women’s Month with a week full of Classic Female Benchmarks and some new NCFIT Female Benchmarks we’ve created ourselves! We will also be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a themed workout that surely will have you leaving the gym feeling lucky. We will be testing Fran as our Benchmark workout this month, and we will also see the Hero Workout Laura during Leading Ladies Week. The final highlighted focus for the month is focusing on the Strict Pull-Up or Handstand Holding in skill/strength sessions which will show up once a week to continue building body awareness and gymnastic strength! Weekly Workout March Commitments (2x/ Week) RPE 9-10 Workouts (2-3x/ Week) Focus on Couplets or Triplets (1x/ Week) Workout of the Week or Benchmark/ Classic workout (1x/ Week) Strict Pull-Up Strength or HS Hold Skill session (1 Full Week) Leading Ladies Week (Classic Female Benchmarks/ NCFIT Female Workouts)

This month we start the year strong by getting strong! We are going into a six-week progressive overloading cycle with the Back Squat and Deadlift ending in a 1-Rep test. These strength sessions will happen AFTER the workout to simulate a lift post workout in the Open, and because we are confident you all will feel better prepared to lift after a short and fast paced workout. Our next priority is going to be our benchmark for the month: Death Row! We will test this workout in January and then re-test it again in April to see our improvement on this BEAST of a workout. We will also see the CF classic: Karen - 150 Wall Balls for time, along with a hero workout during this month as well. While these will be the big workouts of their weeks they might not necessarily be retested…but it can’t hurt to keep track of your score just in case. Lastly, we will see skill work that will focus around movements that commonly show up in the CF Open and that most of us should have tucked in our back pocket. This month is going to start with a BANG so let’s get ready to ring in 2024 right! January Weekly Commitments 1x/ Week: Back Squat/ Deadlift (Post Metcon) 2x/ Week: RPE 9-10 Workouts 1x/ Week: Past CF Open Workout 1x/ Week: Workout of the Week or Benchmark/ Classic workout
