With the introduction of the higher volume advanced strength programming as an option five days of the week, the classes may seem a bit more hectic with more moving parts. For new members this might be especially overwhelming and it asks a lot of veterans as well. We, as coaches, are trying are hardest to offer every member what they want and need and after a few days, I actually think it is working pretty well and we are challenging everyone of all levels. I wanted to write this blog targeted specifically at newer members and members who are on the cusp of more advanced programing looking to challenge themselves. For most people newly out of On Ramp, just showing up and sticking to the Classic is a great way to see huge progress. But, I want everyone at any level to feel free to ask questions regarding the how and why of Advanced Programming and how they may best challenge themselves with more difficult movement progressions, higher volume, or increased load. Remember, not every day needs to be a grinding conditioning. As an athlete progresses, they may start choosing workouts to try a new movement, more range of motion, or more weight – somethings you might more commonly see in the Advanced Programming. Maybe this post was unnecessary but we just want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to continually progress. There is never a silly question for any of the coaches. That is what they are there for.
