The LALANNE FITNESS community seems to grow stronger every day. As our number of CrossFit students continues to multiply, so does the need for quality instruction. This week TY joins our COACHING staff. Not only is she an experienced fitness professional, TY is a super athlete and we're very excited to have her energy and enthusiasm on the floor. Welcome aboard TY!

Here's a few answer's to questions you may have: What should my 20 REP SQUAT starting weight be? Take your current 5RM and subtract 5 pounds for every workout that you'll do in the 6 period. So if your current 5RM is 375 pounds and you plan to squat 2x/week (6 weeks, 12 workouts total), that would be 375 - (5x12) = 315 pounds. How in the heck does one squat their 5RM 20 times? These are also called "breathing squats", so you'll be taking in air between reps. You'll add 5 pounds each workout! The next 20 REP BACK SQUAT PROGRAM OFFICIALLY STARTS TOMORROW... If you're not coming to class on the dates below, make it happen on your own!
