Daily Life Movement Essentials: Squatting
Squatting is an important movement in both our daily lives and in training. Standing up from a chair, getting yourself out of bed, and a heavy back squat are all forms of squatting.

As we start our Fall cycle, we’re embracing a more structured approach to our strength training. Mondays will focus on squats, Tuesdays on upper pulling and gymnastic skills, Wednesdays on pressing, and Fridays on the hinge and posterior chain. Let’s gear up for progress this season!
Welcome to our next training cycle. This cycle will have two phases. The first phase will start on Monday, April 29th and run up to Friday, June 7th. After a deload week, we will continue with phase 2. The cycle will focus on building our aerobic and strength bases. Our progressions will rotate throughout the week, so that everyone will get exposed to different progressions whether you come every day or switch up your gym days.
R3VIVE’s second functional fitness training cycle of 2024 runs from February 26th to April 15th, starting with recovery and technique focus. The cycle features two tracks: Perform, for strength and capacity with low reps and heavy loads; and Build, for general strength with higher volume. Both test back squat, bench press, and a 2k row endurance. Weekly intensity will start high and taper down for optimal recovery and growth. The program culminates in an annual partner challenge.
Get ready for an exciting 8-week training cycle starting January 2nd! Whether you choose the Perform track for exercise-specific strength or the Build track for general strength, expect improvements in your 5RM Front Squat, pressing tests, and a retest of the “Balls to the Wall” workout. Let’s commit to our health and wellness goals in 2024 and become stronger, fitter, and better-looking together!
This post explains the different energy systems used during workouts. It covers three traditional systems (ATP, glycolytic, and oxidative) and introduces seven new systems based on our ability to deliver and utilize oxygen. These systems are categorized and aim to enhance oxygen delivery, optimize its utilization, and maintain balance.
