WoD - Monday 22nd August, 2022

I am mega busy for the next week, pretty much straight and so I am writing this blog post on the 16th. Man, literally anything could happen between now and then.
I could’ve won a shed ton of money on the lottery and still be posting this vile workout, maybe doing it again from some deserted island!

I promised (with my fingers crossed behind my back) that I wouldn’t program this. But… I had my fingers crossed and did NOT put my eyebrows on it so…

Watson is a fucking legend, END OF. He used to coach for us many moons ago. Marvel in this, says it all really…

WoD - Thursday 13th June, 2019

Danny Watson is only one man, but what a hell of a man! The (nearly) Ginger Ninja can climb a 15ft rope 156 times in an hour, now that is a serious feat! Nothing to do with this post (it’s all mainly bollocks of course), but he seems to do something to punish himself for a significant period of time once every 2 - 3 years, all to raise huge amounts of money for charity of course.

Now, the importance of this is technique focused…there is literally no way that he would’ve been able to do so with poor technique, not a chance in hell. As he states, rope climbing is all about legs, “legs and feet”. “And abs!”
Today’s WoD was a great example of how technique always wins. And, with that in mind, keep your eyes peeled for a new class coming soon…

Ps. If you want to laugh until you cry, ask Danny to tell you the story of the competition he attempted to compete in the weekend following the rope climbing record, and the Toes To Bar workout within that comp.
Pps. Many moons ago, Danny was a Coach at the gym, is one hell of a guy and I miss him everyday.
