THE WEEKLY BRIEF UPDATE

1. I’ll start with a brief #achillesgate2020 update.

I had my first post op with my surgeon earlier this week and, once the faint Cheetos smell dissipated after removing the bandaging I had on for two straight weeks, the doc said everything looked swell.

I was quite shocked at the lack of blood and gore:

Stitches were taken out, rubbing alcohol never felt so lovely, and I was put into a short cast that I’ll be wearing for the next two weeks.

The goal now is not to be an asshat and do anything stupid to risk stretching the Achilles.

I guess that means I won’t be participating in this year’s Hunger Games.

2. Check out my latest podcast appearance on Coach Gethin Radio:

3. Oh, hey, have you checked out my new CORE @ Home platform yet?

It’s designed so that I can deliver workouts you can perform at home – pants optional – using minimal equipment.

You have two options:

1. Subscribe for FREE and receive one workout per week.

2. Subscribe for $29.00 and receive three workouts per week (in addition to special bonus content).¹

My hope is that it helps take the thinking out of things and keeps people more accountable to workout more consistently.

Hitting the gym after a 3+ month “layoff” and then testing your 1RM on everything is akin to turning the ignition on your car on a sub-zero day and immediately revving it from 0-60.

Things may go fine, but the risk/reward is definitely skewed toward the former.

Be smart.

I was hoping my new and shiny armless crutch from @iwalkfree would give me a much needed boost in mine and Julian’s latest #hallwaylightsaberbattle . . Nope.
