Monday and The Week Ahead 01062026

Hey CFQ. First day of June and we have a big week coming up! Our Annual Spring Fling team competition is coming up this Saturday. There will be plenty of action here starting Saturday morning. Come in and cheer on our CFQ athletes as they tackle the workouts.

This is our last transition week before starting our upper body pressing strength cycle. Watch for a separate post with more detail on what this cycle will look like.

Today's workout is nothing scary. Although...what the heck is a Russian Step up? Check it out: https://youtu.be/OWJm7Q30AWQ

Choose a weight on the hang cleans that is heavier than you would normally go with. You're alternating hands, so you should be able to manage the grip fatigue from the heavier weight a little better than you may think. The goal on these is to HAVE to pull under the clean, much more like a barbell clean, than just muscling the db up like we normally would with a lighter implement.

Have fun, have a great start to the week and CANCEL your Saturday walk in the park to join us at the gym for an AWESOME day of competition!
