Workouts 29th March – 2nd April

Week 6:

For this new 6 week cycle we will be incorporating eccentric focused work along with pause work for all the major lifts. These are being implemented with the view of breaking through some strength plateaus as well as adding a bit of variety to all the major lifts.

 

Also, we will be continuing to progress the clean using the power clean version of the lift from the floor. We will also dedicate some time to the hang snatch which may be a new movement to some people but we're sure many of you will learn to love.

Workouts Jan 8th – Jan 13th

Week 6

For our first training cycle of the year we will be continuing to work on total body strength with lifts such as the squat/ deadlift but also incorporating variations of these lifts (tempo/ pause etc) to help burst through some plateaus.

Rep ranges for the big lifts will remain at 5 reps in order to promote great strength gains but with added hypertrophy also. The final set of 3 will be a max effort with members striving to get as many reps as they can with the same weight on the bar. Even if you manage one extra rep on the last set, this will contribute towards greater improvements in strength.

Upper body and accessory exercises will be incorporated using higher rep ranges with the view of gaining some lean muscle mass and developing a strong, robust and resilient body.

We will be utilising the hang clean as a more powerful movement also improving on peoples technique in this lift as well as body awareness.

As always equipment such as olympic rings, kettlebells, slam balls etc will all be incorporated into both strength and conditioning elements of each class.

We will be continuing to incorporate effective mobility strategies into the workouts. These exercises will take place in the form of active recovery.
