Rock yours at Safeco this summer

This Saturday we’ll be hosting our first SINGLET SATURDAY!

At 10am we’ll be covering a lesson on weightlifting, specifically the Weightlifting Technique Triad, then we’ll hit a complex for max weight, do some pulls or snatches, hit some accessories, then call it a day. It’d be nice to have all morning/afternoon/evening athletes mix and mingle and challenge each other to new levels of lifting. We’ll play some of the Pan Am Championships and we’ll prep for the last week of the May program.

It costs a class and is open to anyone confident in their own weightlifting skill set and limitations. We won’t be teaching basics, just sharpening the technique you already have.

Hip bridging is a great exercise to activate the glutes and hamstrings, while it forces the hip flexors to relax and stretch open. Try it before the next time you lift and see if you feel like you hit better positions.
