The next 3 months are going to be centered around building a STRONG base both with our classic strength movements but also with our strict gymnastics movements. We will start this cycle off with 5 weeks of tempo for the Back Squat/ Deadlift/ Strict Press.
This is NOT meant to be excessively heavy, it is there to reinforce position and prime everyone for our 6-week Wendler cycle that is coming next month! Until then, we are in the “slow and steady” mentality during our lifting sessions.
Working strict gymnastics, specifically the Push-Up/ Handstand Push-Up/ Pull-Up/ Ring Muscle-Up, will be another primary focus this month and next month. By developing strength in these movements, the kipping variations will improve AND we are helping ensure our bodies stay healthy/ can hold up to kipping movements.
Our final focus is going to be our Aerobic Capacity conditioning efforts. This will take shape with 15:00-18:00 workouts (plenty of AMRAPs/ EMOMs/ Chippers) that sit somewhere b/t RPE 7-8. The idea is to build your engine and the best way to do that is to KEEP MOVING during conditioning pieces. Those heavy days or sprint-style workouts are still going to be sticking around but the overall focus is finding your 70-80% and trying to improve it!
Consistency is Key!!! Be sure to get to class....Murph is coming up quick!!!
