This is a question from Tom on the topic of scheduling Westside Barbell training within a CrossFit program:
“Adam,
What do you think of doing a 3 on/1 off program with 1 of the 3 on days being exclusively strength based using Westside guidelines? So, maybe it looks like this…
Day 1 speed box squats/speed bench
Day 2 wod
Day 3 wod
Day 4 off
Day 5 max effort squat(change movement weekly)/max effort bench(change movement weekly)
Day 6 wod
Day 7 wod
Day 8 off
I might also drop the assistance stuff, since I figure you get a lot of it from the CrossFit WODSs and I’m not sure it’s really that critical for the beginner/intermediate strength athlete. Is it? Also keep the WODs shorter, fewer hero WODs, etc. so that recovery isn’t compromised. What do you think?
Tom”
Thanks again for the question, Tom!
