Huge congratulations going out to Becci and Amanda from Team PrettyStrong!!! Nice work, Ladies!!!

InstaFame – Wondering why Khadijah is all over our Insta today?!? There’s a specific reason….check it out here.

Feeling Inspired?? – Ladies are killing it all over the place! If you want to get on their level, grab a spot in Lyndzey Dare’s weightlifting series. Continue building strength and refine the techniques you worked on last month. Class meets every Tuesday evening. If you haven’t had the opportunity to work with Lyndzey, get on it. She is an absolute master of her craft, a beast on the platform and a talented coach. Whether you want to prep for the Open, actually scoop the bar into your hips or finally understand what “finish the pull” means (it’s like the toe pick! of Olympic weightlifting), you will walk away a better lifter under Lyndzey’s watchful eye.

  • Weightlifting 102 @ 7 pm. Limited to 6 people. Recommended for seasoned Level 2s and above.

Skill

Muscle-ups require a baseline of pull-up and dip strength, and there is NO shortcut to achieve it. You should be able to perform a solid, no-kip set of 5 strict dead hang chest to bar pull-ups and 5 controlled, deep ring dips if you want to get a muscle-up (and have the requisite strength to train multiple reps without risking injury). This is an opportunity to practice your best technique for these exercises, with full range of motion. The rep scheme and overall volume is low, but there isn’t a lot of rest time, so move with purpose and stay focused.

10 Minutes EMOM (10 Rounds)

Pull-ups/Dips

Every minute perform the required number of pull-ups first, then dips, then rest until the next minute starts.

L4 – 3 Strict Chest to Bar, 3 Strict Ring Dips
L3 – 3 Strict, 2 Strict Ring Dips
L2 – 2 Strict, 3 Box Dips (between 2 boxes)
L0/1 – 5 Scap Retractions, 5 Box Dips (in front of one box)
