I thought I would give you a bit of an insight to how the School of Strength classes will be structured so you know what to expect on the first day. It is outside whatever the weather so don’t come in your brand new gym kit. Each session will have the same structure and will be divided into five sections. Our goal is to produce total body strength and conditioning.
Warm up
This will be brief and basic, some mobility work and basic dynamic bodyweight exercises to get the heart pumping, joints moving freely and muscles mobilised. Expect arm leg swings, arm circles and squats.
Strength
This is where we go heavy (well depending on your experience and current level of strength) an example strength circuit we will use is below
Work for 30 seconds/ rest for 30 seconds
Bodyrow on gymnastic rings
Squating with heavy sandbag on shoulders
1 arm dumbbell clean and press.
Participants will rotate exercises after each 30 seconds. Performing three sets in total. This is just one circuit our sessions will have either two or three different circuits.
Conditioning
The weight used may be lighter but this section will definitely get the heart rate going. Great for burning fat and getting that desired lean physique.
Work or 30 seconds / rest for 15 seconds
Hitting tyre with sledgehammer
Car tyre throws
Farmers walk.
The goal here is to get as much work done in the time frame.
Participants will rotate exercises after each 30 seconds. Performing three sets in total. This is just one circuit our sessions will have either two or three different circuits.
Competition
This is the fun part. It will vary from week to week but the essentials will stay the same. Go head to head with your counterparts. It could be anything. One on one tug of war, team tyre flip racing or barrel tossing. One thing is for sure you will be working hard and having fun!
Cool down
The relaxing part. Time for a well earned stretch, we will be concentrating on the problem areas, normally hips and shoulders.
Now you know what to expect are you still in? Check back soon for videos of the prowler in action.
School of Strength was born out of rebellion to traditional fitness training methods of long slow duration cardiovascular exercise and muscle isolation bodybuilding techniques. School of strength uses old school training methods. We train outdoors using bodyweight, strongman training, sledgehammers, gymnastic rings, sleds, kettle bells, sandbags, barbells, tractor tyres, dumbbells plus many more effective training methods. This old school methods get results and get them quick.
