| PROGRAMMING ???? Let’s gear up for July and get to work! Today we started with three sets of two fast rounds to kickstart the week. Tuesday will feature an ascending rep scheme of moderate-weight snatches and burpees over the bar. Wednesday will require a big buy-in, followed by big sets and a challenging finish on the bike. On the 4th of July, we’ll have a special workout to share with Family & Friends! Friday will focus on building muscle with a modified version of “JT.” Finally, Saturday will offer a partner workout with two options for those with limited equipment and space. UPCOMING STRENGTH CYCLE “All the Volume” (9-Week Strength), beginning July 22nd Overview: In the next nine weeks, we will follow a modified version of the Wendler 5-3-1 cycle to improve power in our deadlifts and back squats. After determining our “Heavy Single” in the first week, we will use 90% of that weight as our base weight for each session. Each lifting session will start with 10 reps to activate the leg muscles. Example: Your heavy single in the back squat is 200 lbs, so you will use 180 lbs (90%) for your training-weight calculations. Therefore, all of your percentages each week will be based off of 180 lbs, not 200. We will go through this cycle twice. During the second round, athletes will add 10lbs to their 90% of their heavy single. So, if 180 lbs was your working weight (90% of heavy single), you would use 190 lbs as the base for the percentages. For our Olympic lifting, we are introducing a classic Mayhem favorite, “Squats By Dre.” During these sessions, we will prioritize power and volume in the Power Snatch and Power Clean and Jerk, having athletes work through moderate-heavy sets. To start, athletes should use the 6×6 (weeks 1 and 2) to establish an easy and consistent starting weight through single repetitions, NO touch-and-go!! We will incrementally increase the barbell weight by 5-10 lbs (total) for each Olympic session. Athletes should only add weight if they consistently demonstrate proficient movement across sets. As the sets progress, the number of repetitions will decrease, and athletes should also consider the reduced time available to complete each set. Athletes who miss a week can take 5% off their lifts to stay comfortable and work with the class. If they miss finding their heavy single in a lift, they should do that before continuing with the progression in the following weeks, subtracting 5% as mentioned. FINAL TWO WEEKS OF CURRENT STRENGTH CYCLE “TIME TO LET GO” (8-Week Strength) We’re entering the final two weeksof this cycle, which had a goal of gaining strength and power in our front squats and shoulder press, along with Olympic Lifting once a week rotating back and forth between Squat Snatch and Power Clean. One will be programmed as the strength, while the other is implemented into one of the workouts for the week. FINAL 2 Week Layout: Wk7 (July 1st Deload) Day 1: 5×5 Front Squat (65%) (Super Set 1 Standing Broad Jumps after each set) Day 2: 5×5 Shoulder Press (65%), 5 Negative Pull Ups after each set Day 3: Heavy Single Power Clean Day 4: July 4th Community WOD Wk8 (July 8th) Day 1: Heavy Single Front Squat Day 2: Heavy Single Snatch Day 4: Heavy Single Shoulder Press |

Try this: 1️⃣ Position a roller on a coffee table or similar and sit on it 2️⃣ Pretend you’re putting out cigarettes with your butt – smear, smash, smoosh the roller 3️⃣ Work the area for 5 minutes / side You can play around with getting up towards the pelvic floor/adductor region on the other side of the ischial tuberosity (aka sit bones) and see how that feels. Working this into your mobility routine will go a long way in addressing and preventing high hamstring pain. Try it and let us know how it goes.
