FRIDAY 10/18/2024

As we dive into the second half of October, the hustle and bustle of the season can feel overwhelming, but maintaining a consistent gym routine can be a crucial anchor. Amid the chaos of deadlines and holiday preparations, carving out time for workouts not only boosts physical energy but also sharpens focus and enhances mental clarity. As the days grow shorter and busier, dedicating those moments to movement can transform the challenges of the week into opportunities for growth, keeping you centered and invigorated. Don't forget to keep getting those 20 box-steps up every weekday for our Be Better Challenge this month!

Whiteboard of the Day

Today's workout is a monostructural and high-skill gymnastics couplet that offers an opportunity to get time under tension.

Treat the runs as more of a recovery; scale distance as needed to finish in 1:15 or less.

This is a workout geared toward handstand push-up practice. Advanced athletes should consider scaling up if performing 10 strict reps feels easy. Less experienced athletes should take up to 90 seconds to work on their handstand push-ups, even if it means only completing 4-5 reps. If you do not have handstand push-ups, scale to the most challenging pressing variation given your capacity.

Following the workout, we will spend some time on the GHD working on our posterior chain. Then, stick around for some stretching before leaving the gym.
