16.2 Announcement: Join us tomorrow at the gym at 8pm to see the live announcement of 16.2. Then, two of our fine young gentlemen will go head to head setting the stage for our team in 16.2. Make plans to be there! Hopefully, you won’t need to set aside 20 minutes for the workout. (Fingers crossed for short and heavy!)

Safe travels go out to Team PrettyStrong as Becci Holcomb and Coach Vanessa head to Ohio to lift in the Arnold Classic. Becci lifts Friday. We’ll post the link to the live stream and you can join us on FB chat. If you haven’t accidentally screamed “TIGHT!” at your computer screen in the middle of a silent office, you haven’t lived. 

Read-Illness and the Open from Training Think Tank.

The Open is a stressful time that can leave you extra vulnerable to illness at a time where it is important to stay healthy. There are a number of steps you should take to help to strengthen your immune system during this time of heightened mental and physical stress. However, there is always a possibility that even with the best laid plans you get sick during the 5-weeks of the Open. The best option is to quickly seek medical treatment if needed and then let the illness run its course while you do the best you can to rest and refuel for the next Open workout.

When it comes to our gym, if you’re sick, stay home. If you have to miss an Open workout, so be it. If you aren’t Regionals bound, you’re only putting yourself along with the coaching staff and members at risk. Wash your hands, eat your greens and take your supplements.
