By Industrial AthleticsSeptember 2, 2017No Comments

Sunday are Open Gym at IA. That means you come to IA to do what you want. There are no formal classes, so you pick you WOD. Did you miss the Max Effort Clean and Jerks on Friday? Come test you PR at Open Gym. Did you miss a WOD last week that you wanted to try? Come do it at Open Gym. Do you have private programming from your Coach’s Corner meeting? Open Gym is a great time to complete your homework.

The weight on a bar or the number of reps are not

The weight on a bar or the number of reps are not important if the movement is incorrect or unsafe. Industrial Athletics prides itself on keeping members safe and moving properly.
Jenn had surgery on her rotator cuff last year. Rather than saying she can’t do anything, she was encouraged to continue coming to the gym and talk to the coaches about what she can do safely and properly. She has recently started back at overhead movements because the coaches helped her keep up her fitness while not having her do anything that would hinder her progress after surgery.

Why focus on Bent Over Rows this month?

There is a nice carryover from the Bent Over Row to the Deadlift since muscle in the hamstrings, back and core are all working together in this position to stabilize the weight.
The movements are similar and can both assist in developing a stronger force production towards other pulling movements as well.

Our June Athlete of the Month….Jay Wilcox!

Our athlete of the month is a model member. He encourages others by motivating them to be their best self, without even realizing it. He is friendly, a team player, and was a dark horse during this year’s Open Competition. You can typically find him in the 6:15 or 7:15am classes crushing whatever workout is programmed that day.

Congratulations @jayybird13
