Remix My Training with Liu Gross: Work Your Back and Triceps
Chicago Trainer Liu Gross always says, “#BeBetterorBeBasic,” and there’s a reason why that statement makes so much sense for his training style. When you take a class or book a session with Liu, you know that you’re going to be pushed to do new things, lift heavier things and to just get better in general, lest you be basic.
What does he mean by basic? Staying put without progressing is one meaning of the term. In order to get out of a rut, you have to push. That’s what lies beneath getting better – finding challenge and change in life and the way you move through it.
So this week, Liu created a combo movement that pairs a press with a sit-up. You’ll find a base (note: not basic) movement and ways to progress it.
Add this into your gym routine or spend the month trying to get closer to his most intense variation of the movement each day. And if you love Liu like we do, tell him you’re sweating along with him on Instagram.
