Any thoughts or comments on doing these workouts before or after the regularly scheduled WOD? Trying to figure out the best schedule to make sure I am not over committing. Thanks!
Hey Ryan, either one is fine. However, ideally I would try to do these workouts BEFORE the WOD. That way you’re fresh for the lifting and you should be plenty warm to jump right into the WOD after these workouts also.
Hi! Wondering where are we in the cycle? How much left of the current cycle and when does the next cycle start?
Hey, we are currently on week 7 (of 10). The next cycle begins on April 13th.
