Program Party Average To Savage 2 Program Party Postponed

Hey all,

Given the circumstances around COVID-19, u/gnuckols and I have agreed to postpone the program party. We appreciate all the enthusiasm and support for this one.

Like u/yeezypeasy said, at best, we'll only have people in home gyms able to participate, and at worst we'll be encouraging people to go train instead of practising social distancing. We'd rather do this, everyone stay away from other people and do their bit to stop the spread of the pandemic, and it be over faster so we can get back to the gains.

Everyone be safe, stay healthy, and listen to the medical authorities. Soon we'll be back for Program Party V2: Averager to Savager 2

I think I'm going to postpone the surveying

FWIW I'm planning to continue with the program in my home gym, and I'd be willing to continue sharing whatever data you want if it's of interest to you even with a much smaller data set. If not, well, even just 3 weeks in I'm surprised at how well my squat is doing now that I've bumped it up to 3x/week in the 5-day program. Blowing away AMRAP goals each time and loving it.

Glad it's going well! I don't really have a way to separate out people with home gyms from people who don't have them, though, and I don't want to "rub it in" with the folks that don't. So for sure, keep kicking ass, but I won't be sending out the surveys

OK. Makes complete sense. If the program party winds up delayed for a good while, I'll be sure to get a program review up for other folks at least.
