Refinery Method - Block 2
Bethany Shadburne
Functional Fitness, Functional TrainingThis is the 2nd Block of The Refinery Project Program, and another 4 weeks of progress are in your future.
This program is meant to build on the strong foundation of Block 1, and to continue to challenge you as you develop strength, power, mobility, and your technique as an Oly lifter.
If you're willing to push forward, you'll be rewarded over the next 4 weeks.
Again, you have to be willing to put in the work to train hard, with patience and persistence.
This is Block 2 of 2 of the program so scroll to the bottom of this page to get Block 1 first, if you haven't already finished that.
I'm eager to hear about the progress you make over these next 4 weeks!
