Rest Day Protocol

Don't forget!! We offer yoga every Thursday morning at 7am. If you aren't taking advantage of this then you are really missing out on an awesome class and a great way to feel a ton better. Not only will this help you recover, but it will help improve your performance going forward by improving range of motion and developing better balance and stability.

Active Recovery

Spend 20-40 minutes doing one of the following at very low intensity:

  1. YOGA!!
  2. Row (18-20 stroke rate, work on stroke efficiency and mechanics)
  3. Assault Bike (very low rpm, sit and chat with people in classes)
  4. Cycling (if you have a bike, go ride it around)
  5. Swim (soak up some vitamin D at a pool and relax)

Mobility / Corrective Movements

Spend 15-30 minutes going through various mobility drills that address your main problem areas. Talk to a coach for ideas and recommendations. If you have imbalances, spend some time going through light movements that are corrective in nature. 

Examples:

  1. Single Leg RDLs / Hip Extensions
  2. Scapula Training with Crossover Symmetry Drills
  3. Anti-Rotational Core Work
  4. Bell-Up KB Presses
  5. Rolling Drills

Passive Recovery

These are recovery methods that don't require you to do any activity. This could be getting a massage, doing Cryo, soaking in epsom salt, taking a contrast shower, etc.

Nutrition

Your body needs the right building blocks to recovery damaged tissue, replenish depleted glycogen stores, and reduce CNS fatigue. Off days are perfect for meal prep and planning out your fueling for your next workouts.

I. Warm-Up

With a barbell
10 Goodmornings

E2MOM 12

  1. The high pull is simply a continuation through the use of the arms of a standard pull. This means engaging the arms as the bar finishes its ascent from the force exerted by the legs and hips. Try to stay on the toes and stretched tall as you pull the bar higher with the arms. It is important that the elbows remain "high and outside" as many coaches say.

III. Midline

Weighted Hip Extension - 3 x 12 - #21X2 Tempo
or
Partner Prone Hamstring Curls - 3 x 8 - #4141 Tempo

Class Announcement:

Hey everybody, we are finally transitioning to making the competition program an actual class! We will now have set class times in the morning, early afternoon, and late afternoon. The majority of these classes will now be coach led. This is going to help you get feedback and coaching as well as some structure to keep things on time. With that being said, here is what we need from you. 

1. Be ready to begin warm up when the class time starts. We are going to have to be strict with this or the whole point of this transition will be for naught. We know many have become accustomed to coming in whenever, please try and pick a class time that you can make regularly. If you are unable to make any of our classes please email Chip.

2. Competition programming will be done almost exclusively in the barbell room. We are ordering two window AC units to help with the heat in the evening. The coach who is leading the class will determine where various aspects of the programming are completed. The purpose of this is to make sure we aren't overly disruptive to the training classes.

Class Schedule
MTWF - 6a, 7a / 1p / 4p, 5p
S - 11a

Please note that these times may change. We are also aware that there currently isn't a later evening option. As stated above, if it really is impossible to make one of the other times, please let us know so we can explore other scheduling options. These classes all start on the hour, but will run longer obviously. These are simply the start times. If you come in at 6:30a, be ready to go at 7a, etc.
