Gymnastics – June 2019

Jenna Fisher | 02-06-2019
Some great results in the competition last month, with individual and team performances improving massively. One team (Darragh and Roy) achieved a 30% increase, from 10 rounds completed in the first week to 13 rounds completed in the last. That's 75 extra reps. Plus a heavier dead-ball, going up from 20kg to 30kg for the 400m run. The full results... [Read more]

June will bring about some percentage work on the 1RM / 5RM's that we achieved last month. We would recommend that of the 100% figure, you work off the 95% number. I.e. If, for a given movement you hit 100kg we would use 95kg as the number to figure 70% off of. This would come to 66.5kg. This little trick... [Read more]

  The last month of 2019's first 5-month cycle is here. It feels quite emotional to be coming to the end of this journey but we need to put these newly sculpted muscles to good use by moving onto strength in the next cycle. In the meantime, June will balance out the huge pecs you grew in May by putting... [Read more]

Gymnastics Classes Competition – Teams

Jenna Fisher | 20-05-2019
The teams and dates for the class competition are listed below. Since I have had to pair up some people myself, and allocate two dates for completion (due to the high number of teams), this is not set in stone. Feel free to change partner (politely) or swap dates with another team (you can do this between yourselves or I... [Read more]

Hold on tight this week as we start to push some 1RM and 5RM testing on you to get ready for the last week in May. We've been working up to this over the last 4 months. So, buckle your bootstraps and get ready for a fight. As for how to approach it we would recommend that this week you... [Read more]
