New month means new skill. We are combining two skills which relate perfectly to each other: Bar Muscle Up (BMU) & Toe To Bar (TTB). The kip for both these exercises are very similar and this will guarantee everyone getting to work on something that will benefit them. If you are too far away from a BMU, learning and practicing a perfect kip for TTB will help you get into a better position for both TTB and BMU. Also as a gym we don’t want our members to try and learn skills that are too far away from their level atm, so getting better at TTB first will be a great stepping stone and it will make the class way more productive for every member.
We will go through a bunch of warm up drills and progressions in class which will qualify you for the right group. It should be everyones goal to move up into the next group within a month. It doesn’t matter if that means getting 10 linked BMU’s or getting your first TTB or even just master one of the progressions. Our main objective is making sure you all improve over the course of October. And also make you understand the link between a simple hollow hold / arch hold on the ground into a BMU. The positions you use are the same whether they are stationary or dynamic.
Thursday will be our first skill session for October so make sure you are there for it.
New Class: On another note we have gotten a little feedback about a 7am class. If that class sounds good to you, voice your opinion so we can gage if we have enough people to put that class on.
