PROGRAMMING WEEK 3 of 6
7th Sept – 12th September
Week 3 of our 6-week Strength/Muscular Endurance focused cycle.
The Open is now confirmed for Feb/March 2021, so we’ll be working towards this and planning to be ready to go when week 1 kicks off early next year.
We hope everyone is loving being back in the gym, and it’s crazy that we’ve been back 6 weeks already! Intensity is pretty much back up to where we were before lockdown, just remember to be sensible and avoid over-training and injury.
Have a great week guys and enjoy the workouts 😊
