Monday

Daily News and Notes:

Today in 100 Words: Today’s effort prescription is based on strength capability. Those with a bit more development will go shorter, but harder. Those continuing to build their strength will go longer, yet not as intense. Drive the head through on the jerk or press. Powerful MB slams. Avoid hyperextension on the KB swings and dial in the breathing. We want flawless planks in the finisher. Feet together, pull the belly button. Those going for time, you’ll be held to a higher standard on movement quality.

Warm-Up Focus: [SHOULDERS] If you lack ankle mobility, you will never squat well. Hopefully, by now, we are seeing some benefits in the mobility the past four weeks! Keep up what we have been prescribing.

Today in 100 Words: Understand front frack position. Focus on being able to get into external shoulder rotation on your front rack. Develop awareness on where you need work. Breathing is everything on front squats. Big breathe in and hold. Your torso follows your elbows, so keep them tall. Press the floor away from you on your handstand work, and pull your head through. Track full head to floor reps today.Tier 2, slightly lean forward a bit on BSS. This is a great hamstring and glute movement. Building isometric strength on the dip holds, squeeze a sponge with your armpit for full lat activation. Get your “deep set grip” on farmer’s walks and don’t crumble like an accordion. Grip across your thumb pad, not in your fingers.

Warm Up Focus: [FRONT RACK] If front rack hurts your wrists, it typically means that you cannot get into external shoulder rotation. This means you are in internal rotation, so your hands are inside your shoulders and your wrists are in a weird, uncomfortable position. Getting into external rotation require mobility. The focus here is on opening up our lats, triceps and thoracic to take pressure off our wrists, and ultimately get into external rotation.

Wednesday

Daily News and Notes:

Today in 100 Words:  Heavy emphasis on fat burning and aerobic conditioning today. Pace should be non-stop during all six minute intervals. Select weight that is challenging but allows you to stay moving. Do not perform sloppy DB work. On your hollow rocks, drive the low back into the ground and point the toes. Rope slams should be violent. Do not over rotate your top shoulder on the Archer Rows. On the bear crawls, focus on coordination over speed as you get the hang of it. On the sprint finisher, we are developing and measuring our speed and endurance. This will be a frequent Wednesday theme, so get in the habit of tracking and holding yourself accountable to your standard.

Warm Up Focus: [ANTERIOR CORE] We are continuing with focused work on that anterior core, as it’s almost entirely responsible for low back health. Crucial to your results, are staying out of anterior pelvic tilt during all core work, especially dead bugs.

Thursday

Daily News and Notes:

Today in 100 Words: Deadlifts are back on the menu. We are going to take all of the anterior core training, single leg glute isolation and squat power and apply them to a now stronger, and more stable pull. We also are providing you with a great alternative if deadlifts always leave you banged up. The staggered stance kettlebell deadlift will light up your hamstrings without all of the spinal shear force of the barbell. Take full advantage of this version. Tier 2 should be a moderate pace on the lifting, fast pace on the rower. In Tier 3, we are coming off a high volume pull-up cycle in October. Now, we transition into a low volume, heavier load. So band down or add weight accordingly.

Warm Up Focus: [POSTERIOR CHAIN]. Today, we warm up and strengthen all muscles involved of the posterior chain involved in the deadlift. Our spinal erectors can be tough to target since they are easily overpowered by our primary movers (glutes, hamstrings), so these will give them some love, as well as teach the glutes to fire.

Friday

Daily New and Notes:

Today in 100 Words: This month we will have two options in T1, bench press or OHS. Bench in the 1-5 rep range will have very good carryover to all other forms of pressing we do: push-ups, push press, jerks, handstand push-ups. They are all in the same family. Do no think of this movement as simply a “bro” movement. When done at the percentage below, you will see very nice upper body strength gains. Jumping and landing continues. The ability to be an athlete and develop proprioception. Tier 2 introduces a new Benchmark Challenge at the gym: “Triathlon”. An excellent test of power and endurance. Make sure to track your baseline regardless of your fitness level.

Warm Up Focus: [THORACIC]. The aim here is to allow ourselves to get better extension in the thoracic spine. There are 12 thoracic vertebra, whose job is to work with rib cage to protect our organs. It’s more stable than mobile, so it’s prone to tightening/stiffening up
