Construction

If you weren’t already aware we are going to be starting some construction at the gym this Tuesday. We will be blowing out 3 of the office spaces to expand the back room. I will be doing my best to make sure this doesn’t interfere with class at all, but just please mindful of what is going on. It’s important to note that we will be getting rid of the changing rooms. While there are a few people who use them, we have found that they get almost no use, and we have found the majority of people change in the bathrooms. So there will be no more changing rooms.

Squat Programs

This coming week we will be starting a Squat Program in class. Squatting is arguably the single most important movement in strength training and as well as the single most beneficial movement to overall strength production. Many athletes had tremendous success when we did a Squat Program last year and I’m sure we’ll see the same thing again this year. One of the most important things when starting any sort of program is to make sure that your baseline numbers are legitimate. When plugging in your 1RM numbers to the program make sure they are true 1RM numbers. If you put in a 1RM number that is not an at depth squat it will more than likely lead to failed sets at some point in the Squat Program.
