Talk, but more importantly, LISTEN to your kids.

As the lockdown has lifted, at least in Ohio, I’m slowly transitioning back into the gym. Interestingly, a lot of what I did during lockdown remains.

Were you on the right track before quarantine? We had more players squat in the 600s than we had in all of our years combined! Here’s the plan I devised before the home orders were in effect and what we’ll be doing once we return.

For those who currently aren’t working and also have limited gym equipment, I wanted to provide a potential gameplan that you can use to bring some routine and mental/physical stability to your day-to-day.
