New strength progression starts this week and we will be continuing the skills and drills for our gymnastic pieces! Let’s grow strong and gymnasty!
The main focus of the lifting will be to improve our olympic lifting by
- Getting comfortable at higher percentages
- Refine our set up, transition and receiving positions
- Utilize accessory movements and lifts to improve any imbalances
Use the numbers from the week of 10/4/21 as the base numbers for the percentages that we use
- Remember that percentages are suggestions and you should adjust based on how you feel
- Form, technique, and safety are always the priority
- If you do not have a max, then record your lifts week after week and build off of them based on how they felt taking bigger or smaller jumps or just go by feel for that day
We will be retesting our Snatch and Clean and Jerk the week of 11/15/21
We will continue our “Skills and Drills” continue to increase the difficulty of it as we progress
- The week of 10/11/21 we will be putting all of our Handstand push-up skill work to the test
- Afterwards, we will transition into some Handstand Walk practice and continue to build on those for weeks to come
