Today in 100 Words: Today, we re-establish a 5R or 4R squat baseline for progress measurement in December. Pay attention to what your knees are doing on the squat. Are they inverting? If so, it’s a great opportunity to strengthen the glute medius, the outer glute muscle that helps stabilize us. On your lawnmower row, make sure both toes are pointed straight ahead, do not let the back foot “toe out”, or you will lose a lot of isometric benefit in the glute. In Tier 2, we are following 10:1 descending rep protocol. Try and stay moving and keep the pace intense and uncomfortable. Today, we slam from the split squat stance position, which will provide an added challenge to both the obliques and the glute medius. We should still be focused on a powerful slam despite the “awkward” stance. Advanced athletes have a fun one in the option of going for time today.

Warm-Up Focus: [ANKLE] Ankle immobility is a leading cause of faulty movement pattern, inefficient lifting and injury. It starts from the ground up.

Today in 100 Words: Today is called an IWT workout (Interval Weight Training). For an explanation and list of benefits of this style of short duration, max effort intensity, here is Dr. Pat O’Shea.

“Intense interval work utilizes a greater percent of the body’s muscles, both slow and fast twitch. Also, performing high intensity work places added energy demands on the respiratory system, cardiovascular system and nervous system. Thus more fat and glycogen are burned to support the expanding energy demands of the body during – and after – intense exercise. In other words, the cost of short intense interval exercise is very high in terms of energy demands in comparison to low intensity aerobic exercise.

What’s more, while at rest trained active muscles burn more fat night and day, contributing to further fat loss.”

Don’t be turned off by short duration, it’s about intensity in these workouts.

Warm Up Focus: [PEC MINOR] The pec minor is an important, small muscle set that helps stabilize the scapula and assist in proper function of the scapula in overhead pressing. If it gets tight, it can pull the shoulders the forward and create a hunch.

Today in 100 Words: Today, we will be working overhead strength with the jerk. We also have a new option this month for folks who need help with their shoulder mobility. The behind the neck press is an excellent option for those who cannot press overhead in the conventional, front rack set-up. The staggered stance deadlift will be a mainstay in the month of December to build hamstrings and strengthen the posterior chain without the stress and spinal shear force of the conventional deadlift. Tier 2, we will be focusing on muscle endurance today. A slower paced circuit building muscle and strength. The better our muscle endurance, the better we are equipped to handle a form breakdown when reps get higher and tougher. Everyone will be on bands today for the chin-ups, as we want slow, controlled, full ROM to develop the pull ability and the biceps.

Warm Up Focus: [THORACIC]  The mid to upper back, a tight T-spine will hold us back in every overhead movement, as well as our front rack.

Today in 100 Words: Today the focus will be on Density Circuits. Short, high intensity circuits with big, compound movements where we accrue lots of volume and load in a short time frame. On the EMOM, the timing will be tight so make sure you select a weight that you can move with speed and power. Keep the DB moving up your midline. Once you get to Phase 2, there is no run to break up the flow of the circuit, so try your best to stay moving. You’re going to be tired and want to slam the knee into the ground on your lunges. Don’t. Control the eccentric. It’s where the #gainz are made.

Warm Up Focus: [ANTERIOR CORE]. The front abdominal wall is responsible for transfer of force and spinal stability. It must be strengthened.

Today in 100 Words: The 5×5 hang power clean is one of our favorite all around strength, power and athleticism builders. It gets every level of athlete stronger. We have the option to develop our full cleans from the floor this month, as well. Continuing to advance on our pistol squat progressions. They are not a gimmick movement, they are one of the best movements we can perform to even out bilateral deficiencies, as well as strengthening of the glutes and hamstrings. It has carryover to any lower body movement we perform. Set or test against your baseline in the mile or “Biathlon” challenge.

Warm Up Focus: [POSTERIOR DELT]. The rear deltoid is a very important muscle to shoulder health. It is often overpowered by the trap in many movements, so it is rarely trained in the DC. Isolating it is important to our pressing and pulling function. On these movements, move slow and FEEL the rear delt working. It’s important we don’t shrug as we perform the pull-aparts. Shrugging = trap takes over.
