Comments:
**No strength today, but that doesnt mean were not earning some gainz. Were giving your legs a little break from squatting, but theyll still get in a good workout. Dont discredit those HPC as being easy. Sure, its a simple movement, but its those simple movements you should focus on perfecting. Theres a tendency to swing the DBs to get them to your shoulders when instead you should be thinking up and down. Think North and South, not East and West. So youll need a vertical jump to get them moving in the correct direction.
One thing Ive noticed is that members are pretty slow on doing sit ups. How does one improve on their sit up speed? Well.. do sit ups faster. But if 20 is too many to hold a relatively fast pace (relative, for each person), do 10 reps AFAP, rest for 3-5 breaths, then do the next 10.
For the row, bump up the damper setting from the usual 4-6 to 8-10, particularly if youre an efficient rower. For some people it might feel like your trudging through mud, and if thats the case, knock it back down. For those efficient rowers or those looking to improve, if you can hold a pace of 800 cal/hour or higher, you should be able to row a calorie/stroke at a higher setting. NOW! This doesnt mean go balls to the wall, gripping and ripping. Efficient rowering.. do you know what that means? Question of the day for your coach! Ask away!
