As someone who is a little on the heavy side and recovering from a long standing array of shoulder and back ailments it was always going to be a tough day at the office. A score of 176 reps meant I just fell short of completing it. Although I had hoped to finish I was very pleased to walk away. And I mean literally walk away 🤣.
After 14 years of doing the Open I always love the reactions of my members to the newly released workouts. Some embrace the challenge. Some roll up their sleeves, fight back the workout demons and crack on. Some require that extra persuasion, that little bit of coaxing to realise their potential and get stuck in kicking and screaming 🤣.
The overall feeling at the end from all is one of satisfaction. Pride and maybe a little bit of relief. We saw some fantastic times, a huge amount of effort one tweaked hamstring and only a couple of breakdowns. We kicked it off with a bang.
The recovery from such a posterior chain dominant workout is crucial to be ready for the 24.2. Here is a few tips to get that back moving smoothly once more. Good Luck everyone. Enjoy 24.2 💥
