HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY!

Winter 2022 Programming Cycle!!

We are beyond excited to be welcoming you back into the gym. We are going to jump right in by kicking off a new 8 week programming cycle!

For the next 8 weeks, beginning Monday January 31st, we will be Front Squatting once a week with a linear approach, starting with higher volume work at moderate loads and increasing until week 7, that will go back to a de-load week and cap off with a Heavy 3-Rep test at the end of March.

This cycle is written without the need to start with a test or baseline. Before Christmas we finished off with some impressive gains. We tested our Back Squat, Floor Press and Push Jerk!

Because we will be squatting 1x a week using percentages, if you are unsure about your front squat 1RM (it has been awhile), as a general rule you can use 70-85% of your back squat from the last cycle. 

The other half of our focus in this cycle is dedicated Gymnastic Strength sessions.The next two months will feature Strict Gymnastic Strength piece 1-2x per week to help increase out strict gymnastics strength. The combination of the Front Squats + Strict Gymnastics + and an increased prevalence of additional Skill work is going to have us primed to take on the unknown!
