Handstand Walking Drills: Kaitlin Hardy

Practice in a hallway so that you can still balance but you can't rely on a wall to rest on or hold any of your weight. 

You can still walk down the hallway using all the same muscles, but balancing with your feet by wearing socks so your feet will slide down with you. You then get the feeling of guiding your body in the forward direction without a spotter directing you. 

It is even more important to focus on body shape when walking, a rigid abdomen and squeezed glutes are essential. Lastly, make sure you look at your hands to see where you are going.

Winter Storm Warning


by: Ben Bruno

Couch Stretch x 2 min each leg

-then-


- Rest 30s between

- Jump as high as you can, bringing your knees to your chest as you jump over bench

- Be fast and explosive, this should be a bounding exercise

A.) Front Squat (3 x 5) Wendler Week 1, Cycle 2

65% +10lbs x 5
75% +10lbs x 5
85% +10lbs x 5+

- Warm up in sets of 5 until 1st working set, you should reach your 1st working set after 3-4 sets

- Percentages based off of 90% of your 1RM (ex. if your max is 225#, your percentages will be based off of 90% of 225# (205#).

NOTE: It is cycle 2 of the strength cycle, you will add 10# to your lower body lifts.

- When you see 5+, that means you do the max reps you can manage with that weight, with the goal of setting a rep record in each workout.

B.) Single Leg Work:

DB Bulgarian Split Squat (Goblet Squat Hold) - 4 x 6 

Note: In the back squat, the limiting factor is typically the lower back. In the front squat, it's the upper back. In the BSS, you essentially eliminate those limiting factors and are able to hone in more directly on the legs. Moreover, because you're not loading the spine as heavily, it doesn't take as long to recover, so you're able to do them with greater frequency, potentially leading to greater strength and size gains.

C.) Posterior Chain:

Romanian Deadlift 3 x 10 


D.) Conditioning: Rowing 


10 x 250m, :30 rest
