The wave loading for our Power Cleans, Bench Press and Overhead Squats or Front Squats changes to 6-4-2-4-3-2 with an RPE 9 starting Moderate+ and building to Heavy+. Remember the mantra MECHANICS 👉🏻 CONSISTENCY 👉🏻 INTENSITY on these heavy days and prioritize quality reps & proper ROM > load.

Hope you all are enjoying this Fall weather!  Don't forget to save the date for our Halloween Party / Trunk or Treat at the gym on Saturday, October 28th!!  More details coming soon...

Just a reminder for our early and later classes as the days are getting shorter, consider bringing a headlamp and reflective vest on running days.  You'll always have the option to complete the running within the parking lot, but if it's dark and you're on Emmett Street, wear reflective gear to stay safe.
