The Next Challenge

Ok so after a few weeks off to recover from my crossfit experiment I am just getting started with my new testing.  For the next 16 weeks I am going to compare high rep workouts with low rep workouts.  It is often debated and controversial which works better.  Again I am doing this workout just to see what happens.  I am not trying to gain weight, lose weight, get stronger....I will perform the workouts and see what happens.  I will use my finishing assessment from the last challenge as my starting point since it most likely did not change much. 

For this program I created two phases.  Weeks 1-4 I will perform the workouts using 2 sets of 15 reps, alternating workouts, for 3 days a week.  Then I will progress to tougher workouts for weeks 5-8.  Then I will repeat the same exact program performing 5 sets of 6 reps.  This way I will still perform 30 reps total for each exercises.

I am a week in and I already hate the high reps.  I'm just not use to doing it and I am struggling a bit.  I'm sure it will get easier once I get going.  If you would like to follow along with me you can see the exact workouts I will be doing through the link below.  You will have to sign up for a free account on the site to get access to the pages.
