March
|
This month will be the first time we have featured the pull-up in a strength format with it being the focus of the day, and we should make some big progress on that in March. The Windmill is a great movement to build strength and stability that will transfer to snatches and jerks, as well as needed mobility in the hamstrings that will facilitate stronger deadlifts.
We’ll see a slight increase in Timed Challenges this month, and we will see a stead compliment of barbell lifts in Tier 2 across Daily Challenges.
Here are some of the movements we will see in SHRED classes this month. The focus will continue to be on high caloric burn, but right behind that as a secondary focus is building athleticism, moving in multiple planes and getting very involved with diverse movements and movements patterns.
WEIGHTLIFTING and MUSCLE will continue to do their usual thang.
Monday
Today in 100 Words: For the first time, we will be isolating the pull-up in a slow-paced, strength format to allow for maximum progression and attention to developing it. Focus on setting aside your ego and using a level that will allow for full, complete range of motion. Getting strong in the pull-up will carry over to many other movements.

Today in 100 Words: Read up all about the kettlebell windmill, here. That is the name of the game today and the Tuesday focus for the next month. Sometimes, you need to take a quick step back to move two steps forward…Make sure to get a good hinge on your barbell row. Knee should be very, very minimally bent.

Wednesday
Today in 100 Words: We hit the second half of our front squat cycle this month, focusing on a slightly lower rep count and a moving stronger weight. At bottom, focus on “pulling” your hips underneath bar so they don’t shoot outward on the ascent. The front loaded nature is going to want to pull the torso forward. The tempo squats on the advanced end are designed to create time under tension, build pattern, and build strength in the eccentric.

Friday
Today in 100 Words: It helps to remember that first and foremost, jerks are a speed and power exercise. Not a strength exercise. Focus on drive with your legs, as that is where your power is going to come from. In your set-up, toe out slightly and ensure your knees track over the toes on the descent. This will help ensure you keep your weight in your midfoot when you descend, not your toes.
