Today’s WOD was the start of my 8-week Olympic Lifting Program. After two weeks off on a vacation around Europe, I’ve lost a bit of strength. So, 4 weeks of hardcore workouts (for my old ass) and eating right… I should be able to bounce back and even increase my strength. It’s time to get fucking yoked! I’m tired of not advancing in my Oly Lifts!
