Happy Sunday everyone! We’re powering through April and continuing to dial in our Olympic lifts! This week we’ll be hitting some higher RPEs, so get ready to challenge yourself and move some serious weight. Don’t forget to take advantage of the extra credit work, it’s packed with accessory movements designed to complement and strengthen your Oly lifts.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26th — our Health Seminar is just around the corner. Make sure to RSVP through the event page by April 21st so we can get an accurate head count and prep our awesome guest speakers. You won’t want to miss it!
We’ve got a fun partner workout lined up Thursday AND the usual Saturday, so tell or invite a friend/swolemate! We also see unilateral work on Tuesday, working on the single leg squat.
As always, show up, work hard, and support each other. Let’s make this week another strong one. We’ll see you in the gym!
