Holiday
We will be closed Thursday, November 22nd for Thanksgiving. Loose plans as of now to do a 5k from the gym as we did last year.

Open gym only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9-11am.

Programming
Going back to heavy 5 for the power lifts (squat, bench, dead) and heavy 2 for the Olympic lifts, you’ll see some EMOM/weighted pull up work as well, and the benchmark girl WOD “Elizabeth” near the end of the month.

Just a preview! So read your email!

Let’s see what’s coming up this week..

Monday – Back squats and a partner workout.

Tuesday – No strength, so we have a 20 min chipper lined up for you. Nothing too terrible, but put these movements together and you should get in a good workout.

Wednesday
– Snatch to a heavy 2, then we have a couplet of sorts alternating one movement three times with a variation of a snatch.

Thursday
– EMOM push/pull/core work followed by a dumbbell triplet.

Friday – Double strength with deadlifts and Pendlay rows. Short & fast barbell couplet to round out the day.

Saturday
– Long workout! Partner workout! Heavy things! Yaa!

Sunday – Open gym + gainz club + HeroWOD + yoga

Let’s have another great week!
