It's that week everyone oh-so-much looks forward to with bated breath. That's right folks, it's HELL WEEK.
Let's remember, Hell Week is followed by Taper Week is followed by Torrrrrnament! Always listen to your body; do NOT overdo it and injure yourself. Form and technique is more important than putting out the maximum number - if you aren't doing an exercise correctly, you are more likely to injure yourself. So be careful!
We're bringing back the Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers again because why not! Remember, these are to be done on top of, and not as a replacement of, your normal workout routine. Always warm-up before hand and then feel free to post up on Spacebook!
Got questions? Not sure what an exercise is? Try to search on youtube or ask a teammate!
