We do strength and conditioning. We do crossfit. An evolved version. A better crossfit. Meaning we do exercises that use our bodies instead of machines. We do those exercises, as hard as possible, and it changes daily to keep your body growing. To keep gaining strength and losing fat.
Simple, hard, and effective are the three principles that guide the decisions made. Variety for the sake of variety is not. And the program is modified to each and every individual, individually.
We use crossfit to better the lives of the people of Elk Grove. To make better humans, better parents, and stronger community And much less worried about being good at the sport of CrossFit.

Depending on the weight you choose, this can be extremely challenging! Have fun. Go HARD. And enjoy :)
"Big Glute, Hamstring, and Quad Superset"
50 Single Leg RDL's
immediately into;
50 Bulgarian Split Squats
Immediately into;
50 DB Hip Thrusts
Rest 1min. Repeat For 2 Total Sets.
On the first 2 movements, it's 50 reps total, so 25 each leg. You may switch sides whenever you like. Choose a weight here that is challenging enough where you do have to take a few quick breaks per movement, but not heavy that you can't repeat it again for the 2nd round. Personally, I see most men using between 50-70lbs DBs and ladies between 25-35s on the first 2 sections. For the hip thrust, you may use something heavier. If not, I recommend pausing and squeezing hard at the top of each rep to get the most out of the light weights.
