Its that time of the year again. Benchmarking has finished (for those of who have not benchmarked and newbies, see me please - I will organise a benchmarking session for you guys). Our new programming starts again. If you're not sure about what it is, don't worry - you will get the hang of it by week 2. The open is almost over, so we can say bye - bye and good riddance to those god-awful metcons (in 2 weeks). The new program is very much back to basics gymnastics and lots of it with some heavy oly thrown in the mix.
Should be fun - fun - fun!
