*The State of CVCF 2020 Address HERE **New Programming Blocks start today. As we jump into this we strongly encourage you all to pick a block of programming and stick with it. We will be working through a 12 week block of work, so plan to stay put for 12 weeks. As always you can scale up and down as needed for the Met-cons but we encourage you to stick with a Strength/Accessory platform for the next 12 weeks. For the Power programming we will be working through a block of percentage work.

Pick what is appropriate for you, what addresses your goals, and also keeps you interested and having fun. WOD: 1) 20 minute EMOTM: A –…
