Fundamentals
• Functional Movements– Using machines to simulate lifting something is not
the same as lifting something
• Multiple Athletic Modalities– Without specific requirements we build a broad base
level of fitness using multiple modalities
• Game Mechanics– Each workout “Daily Build” has a quantitative
outcome (eg. Score)
• Performance vs. Aesthetics– If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it
Daily Builds
• Posted Tue, Wed, Thur
• Warmup (15 min)
• Strength/Conditioning (15-30 min)
