Member Questions

Ok, so… Lots of questions about pull-ups, rightfully so, we have a vast amount of personal deviation within gym. So, to accommodate that, I’m ( Jacob ) providing more flexibility with in the sets / reps. This will only enhance results. So rather than a structured 5 x 6, you’ll see, 1-6 reps per set, 9-30 total reps, and the percentage. as the program progresses and the percentages rise, the amount of reps per set and total reps per session will decrease. How many should you do? Do what you can until majority of the class is done with the pull-up section, don’t stress about doing as many as possible, just do a strong set, not close to failure, then rest until ready and repeat, keep track of total reps on the board.

Strength

Strict press 6x5/65% 

Weighted Pull-up 55-65% / 1-6 reps per set / 9-30 total reps

Reps 3-6 sets of 65% of your max set

Time 3-6 sets of 65% of your max time

Metcon

Member Questions

Why don’t we have specified rest periods during our strength and rebuild days?

Great question! During certain programs rest periods can be utilized to enhance our conditioning

( resting <1:30 ) or to enhance our strength ( resting >3:00 ) but for most people most of the time, resting until you feel mostly recovered from your previous set is the best rule of thumb, this usually ends up being ( 1:30-2:30 ) which is the perfect sweet spot in time for general fitness.

New Program! so….. for the next 8 weeks, we will be focusing on: Strict Press, Pull-Up, Front Squat for our strength program. Make sure that if you miss any of these strength sessions this week that you make them up before next week so you’ll have numbers to go off of. The best strength program is the one you do 3 days a week for a year, so make sure you’re here most days. You’re also welcome to stay after class any day of the week and make up missed strength sessions. Now, I know what you might be thinking, “sure, I can build up to a heavy 1 on press and front squats but I can’t do a single pull-up!” No worries, we have plenty of options to help you rapidly progress over the next couple months to get your first pull-up! Enjoy!
