So far this program has been a huge success! First I would like to say that we have not had any declines in overall average for any workout thus far! Good work everyone; keep up all the hard work! Just to give you guys an idea, for our last tested workout “Grace” the average male improvement was 48 seconds! The females also improved their time on average by 17 seconds. In Welded this is a huge improvement! Now going forward with the program in July we have some real special workouts that will test you both mentally and physically. We have come up with our very own “DE Total” that combines...Read more
