Happy Monday Friends! Welcome to the start of our next cycle, Grind. Mondays will be heavy lower body days and each week will alternate between a Squat or a Hinge exercise. Week 1 we are building to a heavy 3 Back Squat. The goal is to know when to call it— before form becomes sloppy or failing a rep!
You’ll finish ‘Scrambled Eggs’ in the blink of an eye. The goal of this MetCon is to send it! The loading for Strict Press is light so try to do them unbroken or in as little sets as possible. Find your groove on the Box Jumps and keep moving, don’t forget to stand all of the way up at the top of each rep.

B. ‘Crepes’
EMOM 15:
Min 1 - Bar Muscle Up Practice
Min 2 - Max Single-unders
Min 3 - Rest
This cycle Tuesdays will be all about Gymnastics. Throughout the 8 weeks we will do a lot of skill work and progressions that focus on BMU and pull-ups.
‘Crepes’ is an EMOM to practice BMU. There is no set amount so athletes can choose what makes sense for them. If BMU are your jam, accumulate as many reps as you can within the workout. If you are still working on dialing them in, practice singles and aim to hit a set amount each round. Other scaling options will be Box Muscle-ups or a Strict Pull/Push movement to build strength.

We are going to slow things down on Wednesdays this cycle. At the start and end of the 8 weeks we will test 12 minutes of max calories.

If you’ve been around for awhile, this was tested May 11, 2022. ‘Biscuits And Gravy‘ may look scary, but keep in mind its two minutes of work at a time with 2 minutes of rest between sets!
