GCSC OCTOBER 2019
📷
October 6th, 2019
Turns out, there can be 2. This is the 2nd one.
-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.

Afterburner:
Spend time again practicing bar muscle ups and scales/transitions. Also make sure to have people performing the burpees properly for this workout. They are not regular burpees. They’re just like athletic burpees, but I do want people to do a pushup off the floor today.
Please, watch this dang ol’ video.

Athletic burpee+pushup
Teach form for today’s burpees. Burpees are Athletic burpees today but I want people doing the push off of the floor, however I still want an athletic foundation when they jump and land. No feet on their toes, or feet close together. Universal athletic position needs to be enforced. Feet outside their shoulders, toes straight ahead, hips back, weight in midfoot, leaning forward, tension in hamstrings, hands up in front and head and eyes straight forward. They must find this athletic position before they can jump and find it again before they go back down to the floor for the next rep. Have them keep their heads up so they can see what is in front of them. Each jump needs to be a max height jump. Doing burpees this way, will slow some people down who do not have control over their own bodies. That’s fine. They need to work on their recruitment patterns.
1 min Max reps Burpees
Teach Bar MU: Review/Enforce The hollow position and Superman positions. In either position, arms are straight over head, head is neutral, legs are straight, feet are together and pointed. In the hollow, low back flat, ribs pulled down. In the Superman, have them think of turning on their glutes and using their hips and shoulders to pull away from the floor.
Have them practice snapping from relaxed to engaged in both positions.
Those are their basic positions. They need to remember and find those positions when doing any gymnastic move, especially muscle ups and pullups. It should also be enforced when doing ring rows so they learn position and gain core strength.
Have everyone do a couple sets of ring rows or pullups. Then review the kip getting their belly button or lower (hips) to the bar, not their chest. Remind them of their hollow and superman positions to generate their kip. Their legs should never bend. They should keep their arms straight for as long as possible. As they generate their kip and get their hips higher, they should be able to get their eyes at bar level or higher. When this happens, they move back n forth from a superman to a hollow in a fast aggressive motion, activate their glutes and drive toward the bar. That is when they pull. Make sure to reinforce neutral head position! They should not throw their head forward. They need to think about moving their upper bodies forward. To link, from the top or in a dipped, supported position they need to think about pushing away from the bar to put their body back in the kipping motion. If they drop straight down, they will lose momentum.
Spend a few minutes allowing for technique work.
