2024.06.17 - Training This Week

Programming for week starting June 17th, 2024

Hi all, happy mid-June.

Disclaimer: Folks from my Barbell classes - Monday programming for Barbell corresponds to “Day 1” and Wednesday programming for Barbell corresponds to “Day 4.

All other Days reflect my own personal training schedule, and do not reflect any gyms’ or facilities’ workouts - past or present.

Please do not expect to see these workouts (Except for “Day 1” and “Day 4”) in a gym or facility unless you and I have coordinated specifically to run through these workouts together.

Thanks!

Nolan
