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 addition, these Black workouts on average are longer – about 30 minutes. For the most part these will have to be done after or before our regular classes, which would require an unlimited membership.
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. Don’t start a blue or black cycle this week. Do green until we come around to another cycle in 3 weeks.
