“BACK IN THE GAME”
BCBD Prep Cycle
Last cycle you got my guilty pleasure Lady Gaga, this time it is all out power rock with Airbourne one of my all time favourite bands – these guys kick ass and take names very similar to how our athletes will take on the BCBD very soon. This phase of training is designed as a prep cycle for the BCBD – we are only weeks away from the big show. This cycle will have a strong emphasis on competition style workouts and as we near the BCBD the workouts will be announced and we will then be testing and working with them to ready for the comp. Much more to come later on description and focus.
