We're kicking off Week 7 with a deload! After six weeks of building strength, skill, and conditioning, this week is all about reducing fatigue, prioritizing recovery, and preparing our bodies for testing next week.

Today's partner workout is 40 minutes of steady aerobic movement. The goal is NOT intensity or maximum rounds. Keep your effort conversational, move consistently, and enjoy working alongside your partner. We want to leave class feeling better than when we walked in!

Today we're combining gymnastics skill development with some upper-body and core strength work!

We'll start with 10 minutes of individualized Bar Muscle-Up development. Whether you're working on consistent BMUs, improving your turnover, or building your pulling strength, the goal is to practice quality movement and make progress at your current level.

Then we'll move into 'Monster Mash,' focusing on controlled reps, tempo, and positioning through DB Bench Press, Ring Rows, and V-Ups. As we continue through deload week, keep the weights manageable and prioritize movement quality over intensity.

As we continue through deload week, we're focusing on maintaining our conditioning without accumulating unnecessary fatigue. Choose weights and reps that allow you to move well, keep your breathing under control, and finish feeling like you had more in the tank!
