YOU ARE IN BACK THE ROOM
When the UK locked down in March 2020, no one could have predicted how long we’d be working out from home. But one year on, we’ve grown used to using the tools at hand, with sofas, towels and food tins all coming into play.
Now, since gyms reopened on 12 April, there’s a temptation to wipe our minds of the trials and tribulations of the past year and bound giddily back to the heaviest free weights we can find. In a word: don’t. You might not be the lifter you were a year ago. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
