Thought for the week – it’s really a contest. If you are a member and reading this, keep the next part to yourself until Friday. If you are reading this, on Mondays, Wednweady or Friday, approach Coach Ed or Sam and tell us “I read the blog”. That’s all. We’ll add your name to a list and draw for 50% of next month’s dues. Why? We’re trying to figure out the best way to get information out to you guys – the blog is the easiest (versus emails, newsletters) but we’re wondering how few of you read it 😉 So game on – this week only – in person only.
WORKOUTS FOR THE WEEK:
MONDAY
Our four rounds will have us working on
- lat pull downs
- “rope a dope”
- DB walking lunges
Then, we’ll spend about 20 minutes working on a complex of clean pulls and power cleans. Our biggest fault in the clean is an early arm pull – and the clean pull helps reinforce the straight or long arm pull.
WEDNESDAY
Our squat will be a heavy DB FS – we’ll help loading the DB.
Our press will be a BB push press, supersetting with a banded retraction.
And our hinge will be a heavy BB DL supersetting with a light good morning.
FRIDAY
After a lot of air squats (Murph prep), we’ll work on a new technique to help us perfect the deadlift form.
Then, in teams of 2, relay a DT-style workout—a barbell complex. The partnering will be for the work-to-rest ratio and sharing bars, not load.
