Well nationals is over, so it's time to evaluate my strength and conditioning and see what needs changing. I'm going to go with a more bodybuilding approach for the next month, because I have been working purely on strength for too long and I'm stagnating. So rather than 5x5, I'm going to start hitting 10/8/6 reps on each exercise, and I'll be adding some additional exercises in to stimulate growth and strength. On off days I'll continue with what I've been doing, either running or crossfit style circuits depending on how I feel. I've decided to cut crossfit classes down to just Saturday morning (to also take advantage of uchi komi) and possibly Tuesday night so I can focus on getting better sleep. If I go back to uni this semester I'll need it.
So here's the plan, I'll be doing 2 workouts a day apart, 3 times a week. So per fortnight, I'll do each workout 3 times. After a month of this, I'll go back to abbreviated 5x5 training to work on strength, and then alternate a month after that.
