January
Daily News and Notes:
|
You’ll notice some higher reps on these movements than the traditional 3-5 reps for strength. There will be a bit more of a focus on developing muscle endurance in the month of January, and the hang snatch represents an opportunity to dive headfirst into a new, highly productive movement.
You will see an E.M.O.M every week in January. We are big believers in “strategic intensity dosing” and that will be reflected across all density circuits.
Phase 1 Athletes will have the opportunity to baseline, develop or test out both their SQUAT and SWING every week.
Advanced Athletes will continue to see timed challenges offered weekly, with weekly exposure to higher rep hypertrophy options in the big lifts to train new adaptations.
SHRED will see 13 more brand new movements to classes, with a variety of complexes and challenging planes of movement. Our Shred attendance has seen a big increase, as more athletes look to focus on their aerobic capacity, caloric output, or compliment their DC routine.
OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING programming will continue the final two weeks of December theme by featuring a finishing barbell circuit at the end of each class, between 8 – 12 minutes. The circuit will always feature Oly complexes performed at high speed, in a highly challenging pace to build strength via speed, technique under fatigue, and conditioning. These circuits will be unique to OLY WEIGHTLIFTING class and feature skill building not found in any other classes.
There will also be advanced challenges at heavier load, and advanced movement development like muscle ups. What cannot be performed will be scaled for you.
MUSCLE will be centered around the front squat and the hang clean, and sleds will continue to play an important role in our hypertrophy work.
Monday
Daily News and Notes:
*There is a 3:30 Daily Challenge today.
Today in 100 Words: This month, we will have snatch progressions every Monday. The snatch is a great movement to learn as being able to execute a full snatch will work your total body in a way that no other movement can. While it requires some mobility to be able to perform the movement, those who can’t, or those who use to use DB snatches as an alternative are welcome to do so. Since it will be appearing all month, January is a great time to jump head first into learning a great movement. Select a light weight for the lunges in Tier 2, Monday we want to get some basic leg work it, not smoke ourselves.

Today in 100 Words: The purpose of Olympic barbell complexes is to toe the blend of both strength and conditioning. While more of a conditioning option than a true strength option, the fact that you spend so much time under tension, and taking your body through both upper body, lower body, pulling and pushing overhead, will build strength in addition to contributing to a very high caloric output. Complexes are one of those protocols that touch on a little bit of everything, and even the seasoned weightlifter will get much needed speed work at submaximal. Weight selection should be challenging, but repeatable given you will only have roughly 45 seconds rest until you are up again. Tier 2 should be performed at lighter weight, and fast pace. Full ROM on your push-ups! Even if it takes you a little longer.

Daily News and Notes:
*There is a 3:30 Daily Challenge today.
Today in 100 Words: This month, we go a bit higher rep on the back squat, up to 6 reps. This will help build our endurance, even some muscle in the glutes, while also building strength. Make sure to get a very strong grip on the barbell prior to un-racking it. We want our lats engaged so our torso stays as upright as possible and does not drift forwards. Level 1 Barbell athletes will have the option to go higher rep to focus on building muscle. Why is there a pre-req for this? Because we don’t allow just anyone to squat heavy, and for high reps. Your safety comes first and you must first display the requisite strength for this rep range.

Daily New and Notes:
*There is a 3:30 Daily Challenge class today.
Today in 100 Words: Following the lead of Wednesday’s squat day, we are taking the reps just a tad higher on our deadlifts this month in an effort to break plateaus for advanced folks, build movement pattern for intermediate folks, and focus on developing the muscle of the posterior chain for ALL folks. When we strength train in the range of 1 – 5 reps, we are primarily focused on the Central Nervous System and strength through our brain getting better at lifting via motor recruitment. While 6 reps is not much different, it does take us into that next pathway towards a bit more muscle endurance.
