Hi gang,
The last couple of months have seen some great improvement in bent arm strength as we worked towards the muscle up and overall joint strength. This month is going to be a deload on the high intensity work and introduce more volume to rest the body a bit. This is also predominantly straight arm strength focused. The intent of the programming is to help strengthen the joints of the arm more in their lengthened positions to help lay down a foundation for more complex exercises to come. This will help to continue with the joint bullet proofing journey but also support most of the bent arm work you have been doing such as the muscle ups, rope climbs, HS push ups etc. So you would expect to see some improvements revisiting these movements at a later stage.
