I tackled Day 2 of the Gym Program today and had a super solid sesh!! Here is a clip of the first superset (bent over rows, DB press, and lateral raise). The 25lbs on the bent over row and DB press was super hard for me, but I really wanted to push myself! Coach Tiana  would love for you to take a look and see if you have any feedback on technique. Felt good!! And thanks Coach Tiana for the extra notes you included this cycle! They are really helpful for me in knowing how to approach each superset.

Lenka SAMUELY good question! My general rule of thumb is anything that when we're trying to PROGRESS in a certain area of flexibility, a minimum of 3 times/ week (4 is better). Anytime that we're trying to MAINTAIN a certain area of flexibility, you can probably get away with 1-2 times/ week depending on your training age (the longer you've been in training, your body with "hang on" to its current flexibility levels a little longer). Does this make sense?

Susan this was better!! It was a little higher than your other attempt. Whatever you did for stretching before this (hopefully something lol) keep doing it! As I say, the higher the better lol and other thing that I shared with Vanessa too, as you bring that top leg off and back, make sure you're also bringing chest forward a little bit (shoulder stretch) to help with balance. Good work!

Katie Strelau seeing you here again made me smile really BIG!! I am so so excited for you and your friend Alyx!! That's amazing!! 

momentum will be your biggest friend in this so once you feel comfortable, a little faster should make it feel less "heavy"

a GENTLE pull downwards of shoulders away from ear. I say gentle because we do want some amount of upwards rotation in the scapular for this hanging position, but don't want zero engagement. (TLDR we want muscles supporting you, not connective tissue lol)

conditioning exercises off the pole, if either of you have a pull up bar around.. hanging from the bar and doing 10-15 scap shrugs a few times a week would be amazing

Katie I did a lot of doubles about 6 years ago and have a recommendation for a slight change in your hold there at the top if you're up for it?!
