Andrew ANDREW MANN this one is for you!!!

Have you checked out the WHO • WHAT • WHY posts we put up a month ago? Hope so! If not, go watch the WHY video before this one. This post and more will be part of an ongoing discussion about WHY we teach what we teach, as well as the way we teach.

For now, 3 questions. Your answers are much appreciated!

1) What’s something you are absolutely certain is relevant for all of us regarding health/wellness? Please provide as many answers as you’d like.

2) How many of us would need to agree on what’s relevant for all of us for it to be valuable?

3) Why does it matter if we agree?

Movement 5: HANG for time. Choose Gymnastic rings or Bar. Hang from bar or rings, hang as long as you can with one or two hands. Switching hands is not necessary but encouraged if you can briefly hang on one arm to relax the other. 1 attempt.

Recommended Practice: Hanging from a bar with feet supported or unsupported will help. The goal is endurance so do sets of 30-60seconds with a 2 minute rest in between. If you are good hanging from two hands, try one hand to shake out the tension and switch as you get tired in the Strength Games.

The 1st ever KORU Strength Games will take place May 3rd 9-11 AM at KORU Movement Studio in New Hope! Come see what you can accomplish and learn by immersing yourself in the atmosphere of strength!

Movement 4: DEADLIFT for 3 Rep Max Choose weight. Set up in between the hex bar and do 3 full deadlift repetitions, with 2 attempts allowed.

Recommended Practice: Deadlift with a hex bar if possible or with two dumbbells or kettlebells on each side of your legs to work the same muscles used. Aim to get sets of 5-8 with powerful ascent and controlled descents at a moderately heavy weight.

Movement 3: MED BALL UP & over for reps Choose 50, 90, or 150 pounds. Lift the medicine ball to the bar height and toss over to other side, moving to other side and repeat for max reps in 60 seconds. 1 attempt.

Recommended Practice: Do 2-3x 90 second working set of Medicine Ball cleans or dumbbell clean with a press if you don’t have a medball. Aim for a lighter to moderate intensity pace, and choose a weight lighter than your ideal competition weight. These movements will help prepare your posterior chain to lift up and press over the yoke obstacle.

Movement 2: YOKE CARRY for distance. Choose 100 pound safety bar, 200 pound, or 400 pound yoke. Lifting the yoke or safety bar on shoulders, carry the bar without touching ground for max distance. 1 attempt.

Recommended Practice: Even without a bar, doing any kind of shoulder or farmer’s carry will help condition you to carry a safety squat barbell or yoke bar. If you can carry dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine ball or barbell with some weight, aim to do lighter than competition weight for 90-120 seconds, then rest a few minutes and repeat.
