What do I do now?

Well, as most of you know my CrossFit Season is over. It ended in a fashion that I didn't think would happen, hands ripped to shreds, but it's time to move on for now.

So what's the game-plan for this year's preparation? I feel that I now have a good balance through all ten fitness domains but I am now at the point that I need to get the tasks, a.k.a. the workout, done faster. For lack of better words, I need to build a bigger engine. So how am I going to approach this?

For the next few months I am going to pull the reins back on the "faster" and "intense" met-con work. Don't get me wrong, I am still going to do some conditioning work, just not as much as I would have normally done in the past. (It's time for a little break) I am also planning on 3x per week of strength training keeping my rep range somewhere between 15-8 reps. (hypertrophy is the goal) The key is to not go overboard. I guess we could label this period as the "restorative phase". Towards the end of August I will reevaluate where I am at in terms of my overall conditioning and decide where to go from there.

For those of you who want to follow my exact training I will be posting my WOD and results to my Facebook account. Obviously I will discuss my training on here too, but I will also include some of my own opinions and ideas related to fitness and health. Who knows, maybe I'll in go off on a rant or two :).
