YOGA TONIGHT AT 6:30 PM + Post Stretch Beers at Legion!

This week, we’re diving into a fresh set of workouts, still building off lessons learned during the Open. It was a period of time to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement, pushing us to reflect on what we can do better. Now, moving forward are the moments to set new goals and focus on tackling them head-on with determination, knowing we have the support of our amazing community behind us. The challenge is on, and it’s time to put in the work to grow stronger every day, together. Let's get after it!

‍Whiteboard of the Day

This 20-round Tabata-style row is a high-intensity interval workout designed to test endurance, and mental grit. Each round consists of 20 seconds of max-effort rowing, followed by a 10-second rest. Maintaining a consistent, high-output pace across all rounds while minimizing falloff is the goal.The work-rest ratio (2:1) leads to an accumulating fatigue effect, testing your ability to recover with quick turnarounds. Focus on strong, efficient strokes (not just frantic pulling)

Row: Pacing for the row should be around 75-80%. Athletes should adjust the damper to between a 6-8 setting. Feet cradles should be adjusted so that athletes can return in with the rower handle on each pull with minimal lift of the heels and no feelings of being “cramped” in the return position. Many athletes often have their foot cradle set too small. Ensure that athletes are driving with the feet/heels at the beginning of each pull and completely finishing the pull before returning in with the handle. Breathing out with each rep will assist with pacing throughout the workout.Breathe through the motion. If athletes are efficient enough, they should try to stand up for a quick second during the rest.

Athletes are back squatting for 20 reps. This strength cycle can be just as mentally taxing as it is physically taxing, so athletes should get mentally prepared before their attempt and stay focused on breathing and control. The volume will stay the same across the coming weeks, with the weight increasing incrementally. Encourage athletes to create a strong rack position by keeping hands just outside of shoulder width and also pressing up into the bar with palms (rather than just letting the bar sit up the traps). Athletes should take a deep breath at the top of each rep, brace, and then breathe out when coming out of the squat. Make sure that the lifting area is clear of loose items, and take a moment to teach athletes how to bail from a failed squat by demoing with a PVC pipe.

Week 1: 20 Rep Back Squat at 50-60% of 1RM, based on the chart below

During this 10 week strength cycle, we will be following a 20-Rep Back Squat progression designed to develop raw strength, muscular endurance, and mental toughness. This classic squat cycle challenges athletes to perform 20 unbroken reps at a progressively heavier load each week, to build both physical capacity and mental grit under the barbell. Work hard and reap the benefits.

Start at the weight listed below for week 1 and progress weekly based on the listed increase for your 1RM.

In Pounds:

1RM.............Increase

<= 120#.......start at 60% and increase by 2.5 pounds every other week (or 2.5 every week)

125-185#.....start at 50% and increase by 5 pounds every week

190-255#.....start at 60% and increase by 5 pounds every week

260-360#.....start at 50% and increase by 10 pounds every week

>= 365#........start at 50% and increase by 15 pounds every week
