(ooc: PLEASE KNOW that Max being a firefighter/becoming one to sell calendars is a running joke for him on plurk, so that made me laugh out loud )
The exclamation only makes him snort. "Some of this lot are here every day, four days is pretty average."
He doesn't need to tell him that a big part of his session involves hauling 350lb sandbags about or deadlifting near double that. The quantity of sessions is average; the content is fucking mental.
"A lot've it's genetic - something like 70%, I dunno. My sister's the scientist." And then, in reply to Richard's next question, comes the part that so many people hate doing in front of others. Easy enough to get into a set once you've got the weights in hand, but warming up can feel like you're back in P.E class.
Max just starts rolling his shoulders back, motioning for Richard to copy him.
"Just start with thirty seconds-ish of these one way, then again going the other way. Some of these you'll feel like a bit of a pillock, but it's important."
And then it's arm circles, band pull-aparts with a resistance band, thoracic twists, and some unfortunately named shoulder-dislocates. The usual, all easy enough, but also telling about his general upper mobility.
