Wednesday Group Strength and Conditioning

Work through sets according to your ability.

Absolute Beginners warm up with 1 min row and 10 pike squats

If you don’t know where you are, start at the beginning. If you easily get through a round of work and mobility ubroken, you may move to the next step. Once you get to a step where EITHER the work or mobility seems challenging for multiple sets, Stay at that step for at least 3 rounds and calibrate according to the mastery chart.

 

If you know where you are, and have been practicing, then pick up where you left off using the mastery chart.
