This week sees the last week in our strength cycle. You have all done absolutely amazing. Built some great strength, more development of your glutes and hamstrings and it is really paying off. Last week you had a sighting for your new 1RM’s, now its time to really give it a push and get that little extra. The conditioning this week is short and sharp so make sure you get it your all.
Have a great week guys. You have earned these new numbers and worked so hard over the last 12 weeks. It has been amazing to watch and see you all improve so much.
Thank you all for putting in the effort and getting the rewards.

Coaching Notes –
The Ghekko lunges will really help open up your hips for the squats. Try and be controlled and drop your chest down as deep as possible. Don’t let the hands come off the floor.
Choose a load for the lunges that you will be able to do unbroken but they will be tough. A guideline would be 50kg for gents and 30kg for ladies. Be strict on your press ups and move with purpose through the rounds. Make sure you rest 30 secs between rounds.

Your deadlifts have been amazing and there have been HUGE improvements in form and all round strength. Keep it going and make sure you rest well between sets.
Make sure the drive on the SDHP is from the hips. Keep the arm lose until the hip has done the work and then finish with a high elbow. If you cannot do chest to bar yet then make sure you are going as high as possible. Drive the hips hard in your kip.

Coaching Notes –
The snatch work has been incredible the last few weeks. You have all picked it up so well and the understanding and power of the movement is really coming through now. Today we work hip drive and speed under the bar first, then carry it over to some hang snatches with load.
For the conditioning the person holding the KB’s must keep the in the front rack position, as soon as they drop the KB’s must be placed on the floor and swop over onto the rower. Row hard as you don’t know how long you might have!!
