Rise Training will not be posting workouts for the remainder of the year. Beginning in January I will begin posting again with a programming emphasis that resembles my own training regimen. This will be for intermediate to advanced level athletes to improve in the sport of fitness and elevate they're speed, power, strength, and endurance. In the past my programming has been geared for a gym of 200+ clients. If you want to continue with that programming simply check performance blog at www.crossfitlkn.com.
Preston
A simple page dedicated to individuals wanting to maximize their fitness potential. Along with strength and speed training, this blog will help with increased endurance and power output through interval training and lactate threshold training involving: power-lifts, oly-lifts, plyometrics, distance running/rowing/biking/swimming gymnastics, sprinting, and flexibility.

Olympic - Split Jerk Review - 4 x 2 , Gymnastic Skill - P= Ring Dip Progression, C= Muscle-up Drill's (10 Ring Dips Required)
2011 Crossfit Open 11.3
- 5 minutes of Squat clean and Jerk (P= 135 / 85, C= 165/110)
This is scored by 2 points per lift, i.e. 1 point for squat
clean and 1 for lockout overhead, however a completed overhead lockout
must be achieved before another clean can be attempted. Note: if a
squat clean is complete but failure happens on jerk, the person can
power clean the next rep to go into jerk but will not recieve credit
for that power clean. You may thruster out of the squat clean to go
overhead. Push, power, and split jerk as well as push press are all
allowed.

You choose the weight for your workout. Going through this series of movements once is 6 reps. Your score is the amount of rounds you complete in 1 minute x 6 reps. For example if I did 5 rounds in the 1st minute my score would be 30 for that round. At
the end of the 5 rounds add your total score per round together then
multiply that number by the weight on your bar to find a total weight
you lifted. *You'll be surprised at the amount of weight you can lift in
17 minutes!

Upcoming 6 week programming:
This week CFLKN classes showed awesome improvements while testing maxes in everything from deadlift and push press to handstand push ups and 1 mile run. As trainers we noticed marked improvements in all arena's that we focused on during that 6 week push / pull phase. I personally feel that some underlying strength from the ground has been gained and that everyone will notice power based movements, i.e. (cleans, snatches, thrusters) becoming easier to manage because of this.This new phase will center around back and overhead squat. The back squat will help us gain strength and functionality in the posterior chain and we will get everyone better in that notorious overhead squat that troubles many of us. Out of all the movements we will do here the overhead squat immediately shows us as trainers deficiencies that our members may have in strength, flexibility, or a combination of both. We will also work intensively on pull ups and try to get those of you on the bands, "off the bands" at the end of the cycle. Within olympic training we will focus more attention to power and squat clean and plyometric work. Our Friday endurance day will remain but will be drastically different and something I think many of you will enjoy.

Captain Mike Harris's garage gym. Take care of those fishing rods big Mike. We need to put in an uphill John Deere tractor push to finish a WOD soon.
*Today's WOD is a sprint with low reps and a hybrid of two very tough workouts: Isabell and Elizabeth. Considering we're in the unloading week today's reps are lower, however I want everyone's intensity to be maxed out. The rX'd weight may seem heavy today so prior to the WOD warmup and find a good weight in the Squat Snatch. If your overhead squat is bad due to inflexibility, injury, or strength I'd rather see Power Snatch at as close to rX as possible. In some instances I'd substitute this out with Overhead Squat but I want to see some power output in this workout.

Mark Curran and the beginning's of a pimped out little garage gym. I'm envious of the candy colored weights. Derek let's see yours next you were bragging about it this weekend. Everyone hopefully pulled a deadlift on your last 1 x 1 (100%) set that matched your max 6 weeks ago. Should've felt pretty easy. The lactate workouts should be fast unbroken reps and 100% of what you've got in the tank. These types of workouts will take your fitness to the next level.

6.1
Unloading Week- Look for a decrease in sets and reps but a slight increase in intensity this week. I'm choosing to do the taper this way to keep you guys progressing and getting ready to increase maxes next week. Overall volume on strength and workouts will be less. (i.e. shortening duration of WOD's). Research has shown that this type of fast reduction in training load with heightened intensity will result in greater performance gains. The reduction in overall reps in strength and conditioning will most importantly help dissipate fatigue and get everyone prepared.
Deadlift- 1 x 3 @ 75%

Squat Maintenance - Strength
Front Squat - 8 x 1 (heavy single) - When heavy single is listed your looking to hit the heaviest 1 rep possible without pushing to failure. This is not a max, however in order to get stronger you must lift heavy ass weights.
Okay... so this fellow is a world champion at 69kg... he is squatting 440lbs here, nevermind the weight but keep an eye on three things here. 1. High elbows and relaxed grip while standing and at the bottom of the squat. 2. Hips unhinge and move back but torso stays vertical as he goes into squat. 3. His heels stay planted throughout the rep. Sit back and drive through the heels!

The exercise-induced growth hormone response in athletes.

Abstract
Human growth hormone (hGH) is secreted in a pulsatile fashion, generally following a circadian rhythm. A number of physiological stimuli can initiate hGH secretion, the most powerful, non-pharmacological of which are sleep and exercise. hGH has many varied roles throughout life, from growth itself, including the turnover of muscle, bone and collagen, to the regulation of selective aspects of metabolic function including increased fat metabolism and the maintenance of a healthier body composition in later life. The exercise-induced growth hormone response (EIGR) is well recognised and although the exact mechanisms remain elusive, a number of candidates have been implicated. These include neural input, direct stimulation by catecholamines, lactate and or nitric oxide, and changes in acid-base balance. Of these, the best candidates appear to be afferent stimulation, nitric oxide and lactate. Resistance training results in a significant EIGR. Evidence suggests that load and frequency are determining factors in the regulation of hGH secretion. Despite the significant EIGR induced by resistance training, much of the stimulus for protein synthesis has been attributed to insulin-like growth factor-1 with modest contributions from the hGH-GH receptor interaction on the cell membrane. The EIGR to endurance exercise is associated with the intensity, duration, frequency and mode of endurance exercise. A number of studies have suggested an intensity 'threshold' exists for EIGR. An exercise intensity above lactate threshold and for a minimum of 10 minutes appears to elicit the greatest stimulus to the secretion of hGH. Exercise training above the lactate threshold may amplify the pulsatile release of hGH at rest, increasing 24-hour hGH secretion. The impact of chronic exercise training on the EIGR remains equivocal. Recent evidence suggests that endurance training results in decreased resting hGH and a blunted EIGR, which may be linked to an increased tissue sensitivity to hGH. While the potential ergogenic effects of exogenous GH administration are attractive to some athletes, the abuse of GH has been associated with a number of pathologies. Identification of a training programme that will optimise the EIGR may present a viable alternative. Ageing is often associated with a progressive decrease in the volume and, especially, the intensity of exercise. A growing body of evidence suggests that higher intensity exercise is effective in eliciting beneficial health, well-being and training outcomes. In a great many cases, the impact of some of the deleterious effects of ageing could be reduced if exercise focused on promoting the EIGR. This review examines the current knowledge and proposed mechanisms for the EIGR, the physiological consequences of endurance, strength and power training on the EIGR and its potential effects in elderly populations, including the aged athlete.

Strength
Deadlift
5 x 6 (60-68%) (2 min RI)
Strict Press
4 x 5 (70-76%) (2 min RI)
Tabata Mashup
-KB Swing
-Pull Up
In deadlift today focus on your set up and pulling position with each rep. Return the bar controlled to the ground each rep.
Cues: set up
1. Bar crossing mid-arch of the foot.
2. Back locked in kyphotic (squeeze together shoulder blades) and lordotic (lumbar curve) extension.
3. Scapula positioned over the bar with arms locked straight.
4. Raise butt slightly, pull back, drive thru heels, shoulders to the sky!
A Tabata Mashup is typically two exercises (couplet) that alternates for 16 total intervals. This WOD is very demanding on the grip so all you chalk monsters take it easy out there:)

Today's focus is body control in two separate gymnastics movements. The first movement is MU (muscle up's). Anyone that can't perform 15-20 unbroken pull ups as well as show good control in a ring dip should focus on the progression we have set. It will be 3x3 band asst MU transitions (as seen in video below) on the rings and 3x3 chest to bar pull up. The partner handstand hold will be done free standing while maintaining a hollow position, tight core, and good neck position. Don't feel like you need to look at the ground... stare at an object behind you. The spotter should only assist as needed.
~Warm-up: 400m Jog, Miniband Shoulders: Truck Drivers, In n Outs, Slaloms, Plank Shoulder Shuffle. Miniband Legs: Lateral Shuffle, Soldier March, Duck Walk
Dynamic: High Leg Kicks, Hurdle over / under, Carioca, Lunge Walk
Gymnastic:
a. 5x3 MU's (90 sec RI)
b. 3 x 30 sec Handstand Holds (free standing and partner assisted) (90 sec RI)
During the A.L. Training keep the barbell movements efficient and always hit unbroken reps... follow it up with the fastest shuttle you've got! Rest intervals will be short today.

The month of July we will begin a pulling and pressing phase in strength. These will be done on Monday and Thursday each week. You will also see our gymnastics practice on Tues/Thr of each week. Here we'll improve primarily on body control on the bar, rings, and in HSPU. Tuesdays will also hold our growth hormone or lactate threshold training. Wednesdays will be squat maintenance and bodyweight workouts. Friday will primarily be used as an endurance intensive day. Saturdays continue to have an Olympic focus with tougher WOD's. The first week requires us finding maxes in three different lifts so be prepared and continue to rise above the rest in your fitness.
