Last week after the Hill Climb Event, which went really well thanks for asking, John and I were talking about programming and how to make it good, he seems to like what we do, and the general buzz around the tables (thanks Terra) was that our programming is “good” and so Saturday’s post deserves a little air time for what makes good programming.
Good programming is programming that works. Workouts that actually make you fitter. The proof to me that the programming is good is that you guys continually get better, are getting PR’s, get faster times in workouts, hold longer L-Sits, all that stuff. What I try to do is make workouts that offer enough time to practice skills, which really is what makes you better, and enough reps to make sure you can apply that great technique enough times to make the muscles stronger, and then huff and puff enuff so that we stay in shape for all of life’s various activities. Sounds simple enough yeah?
Then take into account all the factors that are real-life factors: this weeks random ass heat wave, people being really sore from another workout in the week, planning for an event coming up, stuff like the Open, addressing specific weaknesses found in the lion’s share of the gyms athletes, et hoc genus omne.
Now it starts to get a bit trickier, apply the love that makes the community grow, take care of everyone, challenge the top performers, keep it fun, be able to see movements, teach movements and correct movements, and expose ourselves to as many realms of fitness as possible in our little four walls, and poof, the workouts simply come to me in blinding flashes of light, and then I write them down, adjust them, tailor them, tweak them, test them, and then roll them out in a timely manner so it all works.
You don’t want to see how the sausage is made 🙂
