As you have all seen from this weeks programming we will focus on classic WODs and lifts. We will include some simple 5-3-1 strength work. It is important that all members build a strong foundation in the classic lifts and core strength. This will help you further down the track and it will give us coaches a much better idea of where everybody is from a fitness point of view. This will form our program to make sure we improve across the board as a gym. It will also give us an in-depth view of who needs to improve where and we can therefore easily recommend the right scaling option for each individual rather than just give everyone the same option where that might not be appropriate.
An example of this could be scaling a Toe to bar: If you have a weak core a lying hollow rock/hold would work well if grip strength is also an issue a hanging leg raise would be a good option. If on the other hand your core and grip were strong but you had issues controlling your shoulders on the swing, hanging hollow rocks would be a good option or even hanging hollow rock with a high knee raise. See there are many options which makes it easy to choose the wrong option if we don’t know where you are lacking. you can relate this example to every exercise and as we get to know more about you we can give you the right scaling option and we will also know when you are ready to perform a certain exercise RX.
This is the main reason our gym follows the same program. Yes every individual member has different abilities, strengths and weaknesses but their needs stay the same. Sounds like you have heard something like this before?
