September Traditions

It might as well be a holiday. Here’s how it impacts more than just your parking and blood pressure.


Squat City

We’re working our wide grip today with the barbell. Power snatches, overhead squats and overhead lunge steps all involve a wider-than-normal snatch width grip on the bar.

Wear them long socks!

We’re climbing ropes today! If you expect to use your legs (which is generally recommended), you’ll want to wear some protection today for them.
