Week 3 is in the books which means we're almost halfway done! Just 4 more sessions until the Open starts!
We worked through a lot of variations and new skills which I know can be frustrating in the beginning but just remember you have to start somewhere!
Like last week, I've created a small 3 day program to help strengthen some of the muscles used in the pull up. They are quick and easy and should take no more than 10 mins so try and do them before or after class. Check it out in the Pull Up Cheat Sheet.
And remember to keep working on your shoulder mobility! You can see now how often we are using the same movements and how important it is to be flexible through your shoulders. Check out the T2B session, specifically Ys, Ts, and Ws and wall slides.
And here's some fun stuff I read over the last week.
