23.2 is … virtually every adjective.

Confusing? A logistical nightmare? Impossible to make a positive class-based experience? Weird movements combined with heavy weights that are difficult to judge consistently? Yes. All of the above. We managed, but thanks to all of you for bearing with Fridays being a little more chaotic and much less polished on our end. All that said, it was really fun for me to watch some of you lean into this workout and embrace some things you are naturally gifted at! Standout performances from Pastor Ben Snyder, Kat, Abi, Marcus, and Derek just to name a few off the top of my head. I was impressed.

I’ve also officially stopped trying to predict what will happen with the next workouts. I’m always WAY off.

TRAINING

Assessments FOR This cycle are:

deadlift & running

E DISCIPLINE IS: POWERLIFTING

SYSTEM: VENTILATION

VIRTUOSITY: BODYWEIGHT

Our programming is designed to bring a broad and inclusive general physical preparedness to everyone participating consistently at The Standard. That means we have to work in cycles where we focus on certain implements (KB,DB,barbell,etc), energy systems (heavy breathing vs muscular burn), virtuosity (proficiency of a specific skill), and E discipline (neurological learning typically with weights). If we tried to do them all throughout the year, all the time, we would get less progress across the timeline, so we break it up so we can get a specific adaptation. Just in case you wanted some nerd stuff in your blogs. :)

IN-HOUSE UPDATES

Let’s talk golf some more.

I’m RIGHT ON THE EDGE of buying a golf simulator so we can engage a local golf instructor to help us play better. The rub: it costs a good chunk of change. 😳 I’m willing to do all of our movement screening for free, but his time and the set-up will have to be paid for, so that being said— Touch base with me via text or in-person and let me know who would be interested in sessions (think $50 for 30ish minutes of his time). I have to do some math and planning.

Let’s talk golf EVEN more.

A few of us have been entertaining the idea of year-long memberships at Maumee Bay. If you’re interested in that, come talk to me or text me as well. It’d be rad to have a crew of people that can go out and play at a moment’s notice. :)
