Athlete Notes:
Today is the day. The day to get STRONG! We’ve said it over and over again, but we can’t repeat it enough. This is the point in the season for you to make all of the gains possible. (GAINZ with two z’s for some of you). Strength is the price of admission these days and we want to make sure everyone following us has ample opportunity to improve in that category. Focus on what you’re doing, not on the fact that there’s no metcon to finish out. If you truly dedicate to this session you shouldn’t need to do one anyways.
