Congrats to Clay on leveling up last night! We will hold another Level 1/2 Test next Monday, November 14th, at 7pm.

In case you missed it – This week we start a 4 week Barbell Clean development program. We will be lifting on M/Tu/Th/Fr (except Thanksgiving Day). The goal is to get stronger in the Clean (the Power and Squat variations). To this end we will train Back and Front Squats, Romanian Deadlifts, and Clean Pulls, in addition to Cleans. As always, the focus is on quality execution of the movements, not raw weight lifted. Especially when it comes to Olympic lifts, developing good technique from the beginning will pay dividends down the line. To keep strength up, hit the squats, pulls, and deadlifts hard. When it comes to the Cleans, go a little lighter than your ego wants and make them perfect.

MVMNT Winter Social is coming – December 10th. Get your baby & dog sitters lined up now.

Gobble Jog – Team is up to 21 people! If you’re running, getting signed up ASAP. Race packets will be at the gym available for pickup during Wednesday classes.
