908 Weightlifting Club – Tonight @ 7:15pm – This takes the place of open gym will be the 908 Weightlifting Club. We know many of you are interested in improving your technique in the snatch and clean & jerk, and this is your time to do it. The entire hour long class is dedicated to form and technique work. Classes can expect to be lead through a thorough mobility warm up, drill empty barbell technique, and spend at least half the class working in pairs on weightlifting complexes and accessory work. There is no conditioning element. There is a progression to the program, so the more consistent you are with attendance, the more progress you will see. The class is capped at 20 people. You must preregister. We may add another time block if the demand is there, so if you are unable to get into to the class, please email [email protected].
Today is Thursday Yoursday, which means all classes are set up like open gym. You can use the hour long class to work on a skill, make up a missed workout, work on mobility, lift, or just enjoy the ambiance. We will be programming additional squatting on Thursdays and Sundays for those looking to make #allthegains. Bottom line, enjoy the day. Do some stuff you need to work on, and do some stuff you love.
Thursday Squats –
- Back Rack Barbell Lunge – 6 x 8 reps @ 65% of 1RM Back Squat (4 reps each leg)
Skill Of The Month – Handstands
- The focus for Thursdays in May will be Handstands. Everything from learning how to properly perform a handstand hold on the wall, to walking on your hands. Here is a video from Carl Paoli on practicing your handstands facing the wall. This is something we all should be capable of performing prior to doing a handstand push up. Understanding body positions is tough enough, add to that being upside down and things can get hairy. Focus on the technique and ensuring you can maintain a strong body position before trying to move on. For those of you who are more advanced with handstands, here is a beginning tutorial on handstand walking.
