7pm Mobility with Coach Cara: Focus will be on upper back and shoulders and how proper mobility/stability can not only increase range of motion but injury proof the shoulder girdle.

This week is our 1st week of a 5 week strength cycle. The 5 week cycle will lead up to our next Murph Event on Saturday, June 21st.

The next 5 weeks we will be focused on the following:

  • “Murph Prep”: Additional strict pullup work, and increasing volume of pushups in wods 
  • Developing Pull Power: Power cleans, paced deadlifts and grip strength movements
  • Increasing Squat 1rm: Explosive leg exercises and a more focused squat program
  • Balancing the Posterior Chain and building a stronger core: Uni-lateral lifts and increasing hamstring development 

The wods for the next 5 weeks will primarily be more strength biased and there will be more consistentcy with our week to week development of the squat, deadlift and pulling movements; as well as a increased focus on strict bodyweight movements like the pullup, pushup and Handstand pushup. You will also see Bonus rounds offered Monday-Wednesday focusing on strength accessory work and core development that will accompany that particular day’s work.
