Sunday, February 16th: Gymnastics Kipping Workshop with Coach Brittany
This gymnastics seminar with Coach Brittany will focus on developing the Kip Swing! Athletes will build the Kip Swing from the ground up, literally, by developing the hollow and arch positions on the floor before applying them on the rig. The primary focus will be developing the kip swing and progressing to Kipping Pull-Ups, but we will touch upon the kip swing as it pertains to Toes-to-Bars as well. Attention will be given to Strict Pull-Up mechanics, so athletes know how to get the most out of their strict pulling work. Athletes can expect to leave with a better understanding of how shoulder mobility and strength affects Strict and Kipping Pull-Ups, the prerequisite strength needed for Kipping Pull-Ups, how to develop the skill of Kipping, and how to increase Kipping Pull-Up capacity.
Who Should Sign Up
You do not need to be able to perform a Strict Pull-Up to attend this seminar. Athletes will be given modifications as appropriate in order to perform all movements. However, please be aware that you will be doing a lot of hanging, and although this can modified as well, please take that into consideration if you think it will limit your participation or enjoyment!
Date & Time
Sunday, February 16th from 12pm-2pm
Cost
$60
Capped at 12 athletes.

This 59-Year-Old Marathoner Just Set a World Record Outside
Bench: 120. I came in thinking I was going to do 125 but then I also came in thinking it was 3 sets, not 5. Glad I didn’t try 125, I’m pretty sure I would have been in Failsville.
Deadlift: 155. Will add some significant weight next week, maybe +15 or +20.
WOD: 7 + 15 with blue KB and full pushups. I wouldn’t say I was rocking the pushups, but I guess I also did 70 of them and wasn’t spending a TON of time staring at the floor, so that’s something? I see what you’re doing, MGMT…slowly building us toward Murph, amirite?
