We're heading into week 3 of our 6 week 5-3-1 Strength Cycle, bumping up our RPEs and hitting 1x3 @ RPE 7 / 1x3 @ RPE 8 / 1x3+ @ RPE 9. You'll see Back Squats on Tuesday, Push Press on Wednesday and Deadlift on Friday this week. Be sure to record your results in SugarWOD to help prepare for the upcoming weeks!
This is also week #3 of our optional box step up finishers for those that would like a little extra preparation for the upcoming Hero Workout "Chad" programmed for Veteran's Day, November 11. As a reminder, these are optional finishers and can be completed before/after class, at home or during Open Gym hours. This week's finisher is programmed on Friday and is 600/400 Alt. Box Step-Ups (24/20) for quality.
Also, this Saturday, October 26th we'll host our 2nd annual Trunk or Treat Potluck! The event will kick off at 5:30pm. Decorate your trunk, bring a dish to share and enjoy some fun & games!
