Integrating F1/Stretch with existing training regime

Hi guys,

Been Crossfitting for about a year and recently decided to try GST to achieve more balanced strength and shore up my two biggest deficiencies, movement and mobility.

My current routine looks like this:

 

MONDAY - AM Strength training

TUESDAY - Active rest

WEDNESDAY - AM Weightlifting (Clean & Jerk)

THURSDAY - AM Crossfit gymnastics

FRIDAY - AM Weightlifting (Snatch)

SATURDAY - Crossfit

SUNDAY - Active rest

 

I'm keen to continue my current regime, at least until recovery becomes an issue, so with that in mind, what would be the optimal way to integrate the various Foundation and Stretch sessions?

Many thanks,

Kaveh

Hi Kaveh,

Welcome to GB! We're happy to have you on board. I suggest performing each workout once per week. Stretching after your strength workouts, not before, is ideal. Alternatively, they can be used as active recovery. Otherwise, feel free to use your Foundation workouts (Core, UB, & LB) as either warmup or cooldown for your other training or pack them into one big session.

Hey Everett,

Thanks for responding so quickly!

I'll give that a go.
