Programming the Unpredictable

I started packing for my Asia trip tomorrow. It made me think about my programming (or lack thereof) as I’m dropping into various gyms on my travels. Programming in the same gym by experienced coaches ensures progression, variety and balance. When you’re on the road dropping into different boxes, programming becomes more haphazard and travelers either scale overworked muscles or augment with movements missing. I had my fair share of back-to-back clean days, 3 days in different clubs doing leg work or busting shoulders. I will have to keep my CF Open master list ready and make sure each of these get practiced regularly whether on the WOD or not.
