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: So that you can establish consistency, we will be repeating Week 1 rep protocol of 8 reps for All Level and 5 weighted for Advanced. Continue to focus on driving your knees to armpits on your box jumps to clear your feet and cue explosiveness. Tier 2 intensity will be dosed based on experience level. The more tolerant and able we are to go hard and sustain a near max pace, the harder and the shorter we will go, to get more density in less time and to challenge our threshold.

Tuesday
Today in 100 Words: Now that we have our feet wet with the windmill, begin to focus and feel where you struggle on the reps. Is it hamstring flexibility? Shoulder stability? Core strength? Try and assess where you are weak and focus on strengthening that aspect of your movement when you are performing it.

Wednesday
Today in 100 Words: As you continue to establish a more challenging weight for yourself on your front squats, technique will become increasingly more important. Use Coach Brenna’s cue of letting your knees travel forward a bit more so that your torso can remain upright. That is the priority of balance for the front squat, as weight is distributed differently on the body than the back squat.
