New beverage lineup for 2021

We expanded our drink offerings in the gym to cover the needs of our athletes for pre-workout (before), intra-workout (during), and post-workout (after). Most of the beverages we carry can be had at any time of the day- just be mindful if it contains caffeine.

To celebrate the expanded options we’re now selling each can for $3 each! Simply go up to the fridge, sanitize your hands, grab your preferred option, then write your selection down on the charge sheet!

Before we begin discussing these supplements remember that none of these things provide you any benefit whatsoever if you don’t have a good foundation of nutrition based on quality proteins and plants, adequate hydration, and good amount of sleep.

WATCH:

 

This particular weight rack lives in Lane 6 alongside the Power Rack. Please use the right side with calibrated Rogue Fitness plates for powerlifts only (squats, bench, presses, deadlifts and accessories) and the left side with Eleiko competition discs for olympic weightlifting only. We consider these our premium competition plates so they should only be used with staff approval or in personal training.

And as always, put your equipment back in the order in which you found it.

WATCH:

The rack position in either the barbell, kettlebell, medicine ball, sandbag, and dumbbells means we want the elbows forward of the hands (in profile view), in a standing position with the legs and hips completely locked out. The eyes should stay up the entire range of motion.

This shape allows our bodies to be efficient pillars at bearing weight during our exercises.

WATCH:

Elbows “high and outside” is a powerful posterior exercise that develops strength in the biceps tendon, the biceps, all parts of the deltoids (shoulder caps), and the traps. This helps undo “tech neck”, but also helps develop better strength and coordination in the olympic lifts.

Commonly used in body building the high-pull, or upright row, can develop hypertrophy in the yoke area, keeping it strong and healthy. It’s also good for our athletes as that’s the place you rack a barbell for a back squat- the more meat for cushion, the better!

CONDITIONING for Wednesday 2/24/2021

WATCH:

In any support position (pushup position on the ground, lockout on the parallel bars, lockout on the rings) the most efficient position for our purposes mean extended wrists, locked elbows, shoulders forward, upper back rounded, and abs on. If possible, lockout the legs and point the toes just in front of the body.

These points of performance help maintain tension in the shape and keeps us efficient at our movements like muscle-ups, dips, pushups, burpees, and more!
