The Boat Shed Guide to the Open
I will try and do my best to explain our approach to this over the next 5 weeks of competition. If I miss anything out please let me know.
Schedule-
We will be performing the Open workouts every THURSDAY during our classes and this is how they will fit in each week. This seems to fit in best for us as a gym as many of you rest on a Wednesday and it does not interrupt our normal programming. We will continue to programme 6 days a week (Mon-Sat) with the Open workout just fitting into that. I WILL be programming for you to continue to improve and become better at what we do and we will use this next 5 weeks as an opportunity to improve and therefore treat the Open WODs as a worldwide barometer that will help you test your strengths and weaknesses and show you where you need to or have improved. In case you have not read the rule book; the WODs will be announced on the Wednesday of every week and must be performed and validated by Sunday night. If you cannot perform the workout on the Thursday I will be arranging other times each week during open gym time in which you can come in and be judged on the workout. Please don’t panic if you can’t make the classes, all you need to do is have a word with me! On the flip side if you’re panicing please can you email or facebook me on pete@theboatshedfitness.co.uk because there are so many of you now (competing or not competing in the open) who want to do the workout please do not text me as trying to reply to 60+ different people via text message is incredibly hard! Grab me for a word in the gym instead
For the 1st workout (i.e. this week) if you cannot make Thursday’s classes I will be running open gym between 4-6pm on Friday and 11am-1pm on Sunday for you to come in and be judged. Everyone will be briefed on movement standards prior to doing each workout.
Enjoy and have fun it will be an amazing 5 weeks!
Pete
