2026.01.05 - ONLINE Training This Week

ONLINE Programming for week starting January 5th, 2026

Hi all,

Some big news to kickoff 2026!

Starting Sunday, Feb 1, I’m moving weekly programming into the BTWB app so you can view everything in one place, track progress, and follow the plan more consistently. Some cool things you can do in the app:

  • Movement demos - You’ll be able to see gifs of the movements right in the interface, no more videos!

  • Tracking - you can log times/reps/weights and it will save to your profile for you

  • History tracking - you can see your progress on different lifts and benchmark workouts throughout time!

Here’s how access will work:

  • Free in BTWB: At-Home Bodyweight programming (no cost to you)

  • Paid in BTWB: Full access to the other Equipment Tracks + Bodyweight + extras like Mobility sessions and Recovery sessions.

    • $20/month or $200/year

Over the next 4 weeks, I’ll make this easy with a quick setup guide + how-to information.

Action today (2 minutes): Download the BTWB app and poke around online to learn more about it: [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/btwb-wod-tracking/id583688662]

In a subsequent email, I’ll get you the invite information (and I’ll be sure to send exact steps this month regardless).

In the meantime, below are this week’s workouts! No links to videos today, I’m in full blown migration mode into the mobile app, now!
