Paleo Solution Podcast #109 – Winter Training

Paleo Solution Podcast Episode #109 starts with another rant about CrossFit ‘programming’.

 +1 to that.

Also interesting is Greg’s take on shifting to a low volume weightlifting training during winter (starts at 15:50).

Notes:

• lets you maintain lower carb intake (cyclical carb intake), without slowing down gains
• focus on skill work
• low rep heavy strength work for neurological adaptions
• focus primarily on singles doubles, maybe some triples
• building volume with larger number of sets, rather than larger number of reps
• 15-25 reps per exercise; 8×3 or 10×2
• keep intensity high
