Good day,

There is a good chance that the gyms might open up again in October due to covid restrictions being lifted. I’ve been doing the At-Home minimal equipment template for a couple of months now. I’m pretty excited to start the updated Beginner template when the gym opens up again. Block 2 looks more fun, but do you recommend starting with Block 1, or can I jump in with Block 2?

I really love the write in section of the updated Beginner template, so I’ve been wondering if you have plans to add it to the At-Home template? For example, I ran out of weight for the 12-15 rep range standing DB shoulder press, so now I do single arm DB press. I’ve also had to be creative with some other exercises. It would be nice to have a write in for stuff like that.

Yea I will probably do that to the At-Home template shortly. To answer your question though, I’d start on Block I.

Thank you! It sounds like the gyms are opening up in October, and I’ll be starting with Block I!
