Build position first, then power. More difficult movements should not vary drastically from the basics/fundamentals - instead they should be extremely powerful expressions of those fundamentals.

Tonight we begin some prep towards the muscle-up! Assuming (like in the past) it will come past week 3 in the open this gives us a few weeks to drill them down. We will still continue to work this core training moving forward as well!

We start back up today at 11:15a! We will be building a foundation and working the skill of T2B, in coming days/weeks we will work strategy in workouts and the Open into class

In the introduction...."success at these exercises requires consistent incremental improvements. Do not seek improvement quickly or become frustrated after only a few weeks. ....While you may become more skillful or feel more powerful while performing a new exercise relatively quickly, this is due to becoming more neurologically efficient ("greasing the grove") rather than experiencing an absolute gain in strength. It takes 6 weeks to establish the first concrete strength gains."

Hey guys! We are going to take a quick 3-week break on the Gymnastics Club while I finish up my studying and taking the LSATs in a few weeks. The week of 2/9 will be when we begin again with the next cycle. It will involve workouts focused on Muscle-Up skills, chest-to-bars, T2B and other skills needed in the CF Games Open, and will greatly help your day-to-day confidence on these skills in the gym. It will take us 4 weeks and lead right into the Open. Once the Open begins we will have practice for the weeks workout on Thursday evenings to help give pointers, warm-up drills and things to think about when formulating a 'plan' for the Open workouts! FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS on continuing to strengthen the fundamentals given in the first 6 weeks, you should still be actively working on and doing your homework 3-4x/week if not daily.
