Looks like we’re finally getting a barbell in this year’s Open. Even then, the Equipment-Free option looks like a great challenge!
CONDITIONING for Friday 3/26/2021
COSINE
Every minute on the minute for 20 minutes:
a. 12 burpees
b. 24 medicine ball push press
c. 12 medicine ball cleans
d. 36 plank jacks
Modify the numbers as needed-try to complete each of the movements in 40 seconds or less, at least for the first two rotations. Medicine ball should be about 20/14lbs+ so keep that in mind if you’re modifying the equipment.
Who wants to bet we get THRUSTERS and PULLUPS or TOES-TO-BAR for 21.3? Instead of the usual 5pm release they’ll be announcing the workout live (video below) at 12pm PST.
IN-GYM WORKOUT for Thursday 3/25/2021
Tabata planks, Tabata squats, 50 box jumps (do something different from Tuesday!)
Rest 1:00 between exercises. Remember: the original intention for tabata intervals is to go full effort each time you’re supposed to work, not a strategy in hitting a specific number. Especially when these exercises are all bodyweight.
Our #1 use for foam rollers is breaking up the tissues in the upper back. An area that doesn’t get a much play and movement due to our ungodly amount of time in front of screens.

Tony, a Chinese-American, and myself, a Filipino-American have been in this fitness space for over a decade. We’ve had so many great people in our gym and have met so many fantastic friends along the way.

We’re in a very difficult time at the moment, along with all the other AAPI and BIPOC family and friends who are, and have been suffering. Targeted for hate crimes and worse.
There’s no need to check-in with us. Check in with your own friends and family and talk about the recent events, and specifically the tragedy in Atlanta. If you’re not sure yourself, do some research. Discuss amongst yourselves how you can be better allies and friends.
We all wanted to do better after George Floyd. What will you do for
