1/30/14: Day 60

So, yesterday sucked about as bad as I thought it would. I'm sure everyone feels about the same way. Pretty sure I heard one of my athletes say they hated me in the middle of the workout. That's what I'm here for! You guys rocked it as always though. We all know we are gonna see a sick and twisted version of "Fran" in the Open in one way or another, so might as well learn to embrace the suck. Anyway, good work, and here's today's workout!

1/29/14: Day 59

Ok, so before you look at the workout, I just want to let you know that I want you to think of me as your parent...in a non-creepy way. You may not always understand the things I do, but I do it out of love. And sometimes the things I do hurts me more than it hurts you. Except for today's workout, this one will definitely hurt you more. Enjoy! Also, you'll notice there is no more "SMOLOV PROGRAM" section. I just combined them all together because I was posting the same stuff for both programs anyway. Just wanted to save on some paper.
