Workouts

Each set should pose a significant challenge- weakest lift/ transition governs weight, and denotes improvement for next time.

If sets require interruption, make as minor an adjustment as needed and complete the next uninterrupted.

Move seamlessly and aggressively.

It's Benchmark Day! Waking the Dead by Suicidal Tendencies.

Work to “True” failure (loss of physical positioning) not “Relative” failure (loss of mental endurance).

We are in the middle of a 3-week cycle educating ourselves in unique ways even as we challenge our mind and body through our efforts.

If chosen weight causes interruption in sets, adjust immediately and continue safely.

Organize breathing, maintain movement details, and work hard.

Goal today is enough weight to allow stability.

The second week of this challenge is the beginning of a 3-week cycle to push you through the rest of the month.

Organization of movement, power, timing, and dexterity all play an equal part in the safe and heavy completion of your lifts.

If designated weights require interruption of sets, make as minor an adjustment as possible to continue safely.

Whichever path is applied, full effort is expected.

If we lose our strong hinge, back rounds, or legs fail to snap straight in the “drive” portion of the movement, adjust accordingly and continue safely.

Pre-emptive strike: prepare yourself for the flood of food and merriment that's coming your way through the holiday seasons this winter.

Work hard, stay focused on position, and keep rest within designated duration.

Rest as needed between sets. If sets of 3 require interruption at chosen weight, make as minor an adjustment as needed and complete the next uninterrupted.
