Specialty Classes
Olympic Lifting Class – Monday at 5:30-6:30pm.
Boxing Class – None this week. They resume on April 11th.

Strength Program
In an ongoing effort to provide the best training possible we are adjusting our strength training to reflect 3 levels:
Green – This is for those that are new to the various strength lifts we perform. The idea is to focus on mechanics and full range of motion versus going heavy. For whatever movement is prescribed for that day, those doing green will perform 3-5 sets of 5-8 reps each. The first sets should be lighter and on the higher range of reps. The last set should be moderately heavy and on the lower range of reps.
Blue – This level will follow the 5-3-1 Strength program. This program follows 4 week cycles. Please talk to one of the trainers to explain it to you.
Black – A variety of 4-8 week cycles will be programmed throughout the year. Each cycle will have a slightly different focus. Please talk to one of the trainers about this program. This program is for our unlimited members who have been actively lifting for at least 6 months, have good form/mechanics and full range of motion. We are not trying to be exclusive. The reason for this is that these cycles require 5+ days of lifting to be effective. Also, sporadic lifting, poor form/mechanics and a lack of range of motion with these types of cycles can be unsafe and lead to injury.
In our daily postings you will now only see which body part has been assigned for that day. For specific number of sets, reps and %s you will need to follow the various plans according to the various color levels.

CrossFit Total
Read this to learn about the CrossFit total. Since we are starting a new strength program we want to get a benchmark of where you are. This is for our Blue and Black level athletes. Do NOT attempt a 1RM if you haven’t been working out regularly AND have been doing these lifts at heavy weights over the past 4 weeks. If this is the case, then do Green today.

Black and Blue Level

• Back squat, 1 rep
• Shoulder Press, 1 rep
• Deadlift, 1 rep

Green Level
Do 3-5 sets of 5-8 reps each of the following 3 movements in any order:

• Back Squat
• Strict Press
• Deadlift

For our brand new beginners this will be a perfect time to learn the mechanics of these 3 main movements.
