So much red ink! Love seeing so many 1RM PR’s and close to PR’s after a solid month of targeting the back squat. With the weekly cycle of 10, 7, 5, 3, and 1 rep maxes we have seen some big gains for squatting. We will continue to back squat often but also will start a new cycle next week with the Front Squat using the same rep schemes we just completed. Then we will see how our Cleans improve.

Regionals start this Friday!

Hey check out Brian’s cool…mats?! (No not shoes, we all know he has all the cool shoes). These tiles are the new thicker floor samples we are testing to see how they mitigate shock and vibration. Please use these for heavy lifts or loads overhead of 95# or greater. IF they do the trick we may end up covering the existing floor with these. So excited! #sarcasm

Hollow Rocks using a PVC to open up the “hollow” position works well. Practice pointing the toes, keeping the arms back behind the head and rocking and “quiet” and fully open as possible. PVC too easy? Work up to using a training bar but don’t sacrifice your position.
