Thanks to all who came out to support the 1 year anniversary of Chiseled. While there may not be a lot of running at this AO, it doesn’t mean you can’t get good cardio in and break a sweat, especially if you are pushing yourself the entire time. Most of us were dry heaving at some point during Banjo’s set and drenched in sweat, it was a mini IPC. Gear/weights allow you to isolate some muscles, build some definition that body weight workouts might not get to. The beauty of the AO is that you get to pick the weight that is most comfortable to you (most of the time) and go all out, and most times performing as many reps as you can – only you vs you –no rep targets–no need for fuzzy counting–practice good form and push yourself — Set your own rep targets / weight size and improve weekly. Hope to see more of you out in the gloom at Chiseled.
