GCSC NOVEMBER 2019

November 11th, 2019
Veteran’s Day, I took the day off.
New 2 week bout of goodness and on a side note, I saw Zombieland 2, DoubleTap, and it was amazing and full of Metallica and Terminator references.
-Anyone following the 4 day routine should not do “humpday pumpday”. They should do the active rest. Whether they do the Sabado Gigante (which is the same programming as humpday pumpday) is case by case depending how they feel from the week’s worth of work. Don’t over do it. The Sabado Gigante often overlaps things done during the week. When in doubt, push or drag sleds and do some curls.
-Afterburners: These are optional conditioning pieces of the programming. Whether a person completes this is dependent on their goals and calorie intake. If actual sustained strength and mass is the goal, the afterburners should not be done. At least not without increased calorie count to accommodate the extra effort. That being said, some sustained sweat should happen at least once a week. That is the active rest on Wednesday.
Additionally, some of the movements in the Afterburners are not found in the GainCity accessory work. If a person wants to get those movements in for accessory but doesnt want to overdo the sweats, just take the movements and rep counts out of the afterburner and do them like regular sets/reps.

Jet Fuel:
3x
10 Pushups
KB overhead carry, gym floor down and back (take time here to explain and demo proper shoulder loading and engagement. Pull the scapula down and in. Do not allow people to over extend their backs in order to hold the weight overhead. If they have to go lighter in order to maintain vertical, tight posture and position, so be it).
Partners: Wheel barrow obstacle course
-Set up plates of various heights and spacing on the gym floor. Have people partner up and run the courses. Put cones on either end and have people go around the cones and come back.
-If you have advanced people who can handstand walk, let them.
-This warmup may take longer than time allows during the hour long class. If needed, cut the wheel barrow races.

1 round, 2 minutes:
Max Reps
1 Power Clean+ 2 Push Press
1 Bar Over Burpee
*In the first (3) 1 minute intervals, perform as many rounds of the complex 1 powerclean+2 push press. The weight should be moderate so that the weight can be moved without having to rest for the entire minute. If I was going to give a prescribed weight, it would be 135/95.
*In the last 2 minute interval, perform as many rounds of 1 powerclean+2 push press and 1 burpee. It will burn at this point and be a shock to the body to have to double the work time. Get after it. Use the same weight for all rounds.
