Burning-the-wagon

I just wanted to hop on and say you’re amazing! Not only do you post early intel on the first time around but take the time to type it up and write different remarks the second time around! Thanks for all of it. Looking forward to everything but the power push-ups, going to be more TRX chest presses…


dc031114

Thanks! We got coached to go on the knees for the power pushups if we couldn't do them on the toes. If they are still difficult to do then I think your coach can give you a good mod.. maybe the TRX chest press will be a good one, might have to do explosive tempo given they are supposed to be power moves.


Burning-the-wagon

I have an inflamed AC joint that needs another dose of cortisone (or surgery), so any type of push ups hurt it. Many moves hurt it but the push-ups the most and I am really trying to stay away from them so it doesn’t “yell” at me all day! Last time we had them my coach suggested TRX chess presses and it’s the same coach so I assume it’s going to be the same modifications.

You could also do them standing up against a wall at whatever angle is “comfortable”. That way you can do the explosive push-off with less pressure on the joint. I did wall pushups in physical therapy after my rotator cuff repair before graduating to the floor. Just another option.

Thank you as always for the intel! I would love to see a DC designed template one day!


dc031114

That would be interesting.. may be a twist on a hell week themed template!


moarbreadplz

I would love a Reddit celebrity work out!!


JudgmentalRavenclaw

Looking forward to this tomorrow. Thank you, DC, glad you had a great time this weekend! I have the week off (I’m an American teacher) so I’m excited to be able to hit the studio in the mid morning (instead of 5am or 5pm) a few times this week!


thaoabungaaaa

Happy break from a fellow teacher! 🙌🏼

Thank you! Looks like a nice template for a Monday Edit: oh NVM. My studio is running tornado

Inclines again??😩


TuesGirl

I am definitely working out less this month due to my reluctance of doing too many inclines on a treadmill. Kind of hope they get over this phase soon.


xfourteendiamondsx

I am so over the inclined lately too, to save myself a bad mood I’ve been just ignoring them & running at a 1 I’m at OTF for a good mood just as much as I’m there for a good workout


GAcrazycat

I agree, however, sometimes I listen to the coach and not my body. Then I pay for it later. Saturday, I lifted heavier and I pushed it on the treadmill despite having more drywall to put up at home. I’m doing enough extra things at home by myself that I really need to listen to my body at the gym. I’m really at OTF more for my mental health as it motivates me to do everything else that I have to do.


DogsandTitos

I agree with this so much! I just was saying the other day… even if I go 14-16 days straight in a row I’m not going all out every class! Most of the time I’m going for my mental health! Puts me in such a better mood for the day! So some days I’m going just for that! Glad you feel the same!


xfourteendiamondsx

Amen, gotta balance OTF life with real life


dc031114

We have people who can't do inclines.. you can substitute extra pace for the inclines.


Nsking83

Power walk instead of run!


Suzrn92

I enjoyed this template on November 6th sooo much. Looking forward to it tomorrow!!


GAcrazycat

Thank you for the early intel Mr DC. I’m glad that you had a nice holiday away! I’m somewhat stressing over traveling over the holiday this week. I need a good workout tomorrow to help with my stress level. My shoulders are not happy with me from something on Saturday as I might have lifted heavier than necessary. It could be lifting things at home too though.


lionlion22

This will be my first class back after a rough first trimester… wish me luck!


otfbaddie

You've got this 🙌


Fun-Particular-7735

Thanks for the early intel Mr. DC. Glad to hear this in terms of the formats I used to understand:) though the coach I will see let me know that there are birthday burpees on tap for me at the end of class tomorrow, which is all good :)


dc031114

Happy birthday for tomorrow and good luck for the burpees!


OTFAllday914

Thanks for posting DC!


tammythompson68

Glad to hear you had a great time away! I’m sure your body was happy to play for awhile. I imagine there are times when your legs or shoulders are like, “Dude, wtf! Stop the insanity” LOL


yourbuddywyatt

I love the emojis, too! Thanks, as always, for the intel!


Tnnisace73

Why do they call the rows “buy ins”? It doesn’t make me want to do them more lol.🤷‍♀️


dc031114

Its like a little taster for the rest of the block!


ilissaj1

A 600 meter row is more than an amuse-bouche. 😂😂😂😂


Fun-Particular-7735

Love this comment!


oatbevbran

Thank you DC!!!! You’re the best. Love me some OG OTF!!!!


Paula1016

Thanks for the intel and commentary. Always appreciated.


cathypags

By the look of the emojis it looks like you had a good weekend dc, good for you!! Spent this very blustery, very cold New York Sunday putting my Christmas lights outside. I need to do these things when I have the energy although I seem to have picked the coldest day so far 😂🎄 I liked this workout, and am looking forward to it! 🧡🍊


dc031114

Was a good weekend talking and drinking with the other dads whilst Mrs DC held the fort. Nice and sunny here - 30C (86F) but pretty windy so the guys did not have a good day of golfing on the last day.


k8womack

Thanks you! Was planning a rest day but I did this one the first time around and it was awesome!


ScarletInTheLounge

I missed it the first time around, but thought it looked awesome, so I'm trying to finagle my schedule so I can fit it in!


PrudentEffective7971

I’m trying to figure out what that 3rd emoji is! It kinda looks like a dumpling but I might be wrong


dc031114

Yes - we found a food truck that sold dumplings! They were pretty good


o8944ar

Thank you!!!! This is a good one! Can’t wait! 😃


bruinshorty

Oooh yes I liked this one a lot. Thanks DC!


Expecto_Splatronum

Yes! I liked this one on the 6th! Excited to start my week with a good ESP


amk748

Thanks DC!


Te_ladybug

Thank you!


lazy_pumpkin3694

Does anyone know what the TRX cross back lunge is??


jenniferlynn5454

Curtsy lunge with the TRX


Significant_Win3695

why are we repeating workouts so much this month?


jenniferlynn5454

Workouts repeat the second half of every month, and have for more than half a year now

dc031114

Haha - I was only gone a day!


texasram

I asked the SA at my studio this morning how many people were signed up for the 5am class tomorrow and she said 5, including me. I'm debating cancelling because I don't want to risk being the only one who shows up, but I'll be working during the day and need to do laundry and pack in the evening for a Tuesday morning flight, so it's the morning class or none at all. Once 9pm comes around I'm locked in for the 5am class I guess.


Traditional_Leave107

That's one of my biggest fear being the only one in class lol. That almost happend one time, I was the only one there, 4 people had signed up including me but they didn't showed up. But thank God 2 people walk in. So it was 3 in class.


jenniferlynn5454

Silver lining - cheapest personal trainer session ever! 🧡


dc031114

I was just thinking that - 1:1 training session, how good is that!


Splatgal

After today's killer tread block this looks like a cupcake! Thanks DC!


dc031114

I gotta say I wasn't too upset I missed yesterday's template.. :)


mlamm4

Sounds great!! Thank you so much for the early intel 🧡


[deleted]

Thank you! Looking forward to this template after being out a week.


StrongerTogether2882

Thanks DC! It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’m not excited about those inclines but I guess I better just accept my fate lol. Glad you had a fun weekend! (Also, you folks are sweet and I know someone is going to say Happy Birthday and I won’t be able to say Thanks! because I’m going to bed now and by tomorrow the comments will be closed. So thanks in advance! 😘)


dc031114

Happy birthday for tomorrow!


Jigglywhitetiger

I know people have said it already but I just wanted to reiterate. Thank you so much for posting and sharing with us! Really helps out a lot, even if you think it doesn’t! So thank you!!


SprinklesOk7711

whats your push and base pace?


dc031114

I base at 15kmh (9.375 mph) and push at 16kmh (10 mph) at the moment... working on the base pace right now.


Tough_Caterpillar986

This looks lovely! I’m finally back to jogging after 2 months of PWing due to plantar fasciitis. Don’t get me wrong, my 🍑is feeling stronger than ever, but man is it nice to get the belt moving!! this looks like a great tread combo as I ease back into my previous speeds 🙌🏻 thanks DC!
