I have become tired of working out at campus rec. as it is too busy, too crowded and lacks proper equipment. I will now be doing Crossfit, O-lifting and strength workouts at Power Play Training Centre (865 Florence street, London, ON N6G 5W5). They have all the equipment I need to do any workout I wish (2 full O-lift sets/platforms/racks, GHD, Back ext, pullup station, kettlebells dumbbells, barbells and weights a plenty, box jumps, a 40 yrd indoor track, treadmills, bikes, med-balls, etc. and I'm bringing a C2 rower, some rings and a few other goodies that I will leave at the gym for general use). I have a deal setup with the manager Ryan for anyone that is interested it's $50/month and you can come by whenever they are open but they do run training sessions throughout the day so it can be a little busy at times especially 6-8:30pm (though the O-lifting platforms are usually free at this time) . I train at lunch time 12:30-1:30pm since that is their slow time (we had the whole place to ourselves today), so if you want to join me and Brad for a workout drop on by or give us a shout and we can car pool from Western.*Additional Note* - Winterlift is in Sarnia on February 13th, 2010 and Crossfit Sectionals are in Toronto March 20-21st, 2010. It's never too late to start preparing so get out and work hard!

This is wicked! Brad said you guys are following a M.E Blackbox type of programming. Seems to be a solid way to approach it, many guys are following this type of programming with great success.
I'll have our exact program figured out by the end of the week. I think we will be doing a MEBB type program for sure I'm just trying to figure out which exercises. it all depends on how many days a week we workout. I think 3 lift days a week is good to start since you are doing a different lift each session you get lots of recovery. We will probably do this for 4-6 weeks and then I want to swith to a more periodized program gearing up to sectional qualifiers to maximize results.
murph what do you think about doing big dawg programming. It seems to work for some monsters out there.
By Big Dawg do you mean regular RX CFit programming? All the big monsters do Main page plus extra strength stuff. The games and qualifiers for the most part use weight schemes way heavier than the .com does. I want to make sure we are ready for anything at the sectional qualifiers. this is all prep work before starting a periodized volume, recovery, intensity (mon, wed, fri) program of high rep wods (angie), quick fire lung wods(fran) and then heavy hard wods(3rnds of 5reps 185 C&J, 10reps 2pood KB swings, 15 K2E).
Sean is referring to OPT's programming.It is the shit, the guy who won the Taranis Crossfit Challenge follows it. There is some serious thought that goes into his Big Dawg Programming.I will most likely mix in a few cycles of OPT & main page, but my main template will be Coach Rut's M.E Blackbox.
I have learnt a lot training with OPT and I love his training scheme I have been using it quite a bit in the metcon portion of the workouts. He's all about max effort and intervals it is great stuff.
