As we head into November, Urban Athletic Club is shifting from two solid months of barbell-focused training to mastery of bodyweight exercises. In September, we emphasized Weightlifting, and October brought a focus on Powerlifting. Now, it’s time to put our strength into practice with Gymnastics.
Here’s What to Expect in November Programming:
November Themes

- Electricity Discipline: Gymnastics
- System Focus: Plumbing (targeting muscular strength and stamina)
- Skill Progression: Pull-ups
- Virtuosity Focus: Bodyweight movements
- Fun Factor: Workouts sourced from Level Method Legion
- Assessment Week (Nov 25-30): Neurological & Core, Upper Body Pull, and Rings
This month’s energy system moves from October’s Ventilation, which prioritized cardio-respiratory conditioning, to a “Plumbing” focus. This shift means a deeper emphasis on muscle endurance and sustained strength work, laying a solid foundation for bodyweight exercises like pull-ups, ring work, and inversions. With a month-long progression on pull-ups, you’ll see drills for grip, scapular stability, and holds to build upper-body pulling power.
Weekly Breakdown:
- Building Grip and Body Control: Each session will focus on developing grip strength and body control, evolving your pull-up capacity and upper body strength throughout the month.
- Creative Community Workouts: November’s “Fun” workouts are handpicked from Level Method Legion’s vast network of 200+ gyms worldwide. Expect fresh workouts each week, blending different styles and challenges from coaches globally.
- Strength in Consistency: With Thanksgiving around the corner, we know the challenge of maintaining a routine. Prioritize your workout schedule and keep up with sleep and recovery. Consistency is crucial for staying on track with your fitness progress through the holiday season.
Wrap-Up
As we move into this month’s program, remember that our shift from barbell to bodyweight training is part of a larger journey toward well-rounded fitness. Embrace the focus on gymnastics, lean into the mastery of bodyweight movements, and stay engaged with the creative variety Level Method Legion offers. This November, we’re building a strong, resilient foundation you can carry through the holiday season and beyond.
