It’s that time of the year again… time to get you STRONG. The dictionary says “stalwart” means reliable, sturdy, and strong. Sounds good to us! During this eight week cycle we will focus on the Back Squat. Plan your squats using %s of your 1RM on Monday and Fridays. And don’t worry—we won’t leave out the conditioning. We’ll sub focus on Maximum Aerobic Power (MAP), along with overhead pressing. Get ready to be STALWART!
- Head Coach Tony B.

Another small bump for the squat. We will continue to make consistent small jumps each week from here on out.

Pace is key. Breaking up the pull ups will be a must for most of us—getting ahead of the imminent fatigue is very important. Don’t waste time between movements as transitions will add up.

Focus on staying under control during the eccentric phase of the squat. We don’t need to feel like we’re moving at tempo, but it is important to keep all the “pieces” in place when we transition to the concentric phase.

Move smooth, break it up, and keep transitions under control. Lot’s of work to be done today - find your GRIT.
