Post results/thoughts to comments Nice work today everybody. The workout today was a little tricky, but I hope you all got out of it what was intended. If you pushed hard and didn’t hold back it should have been tough, and the 50 ball slams at the end should have left you worked. Big numbers for many of you on the strict and bench press. Keep…

You all did great and really battled through a tough tail end with wall balls, burpees, and double-unders. Keep up the great work, if you’ve been training hard take a rest day tomorrow, if not come in to Open gym, hit a workout, or maybe even just some mobility work. Cheers.

WOD: Power Snatch: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 4 rounds AQAP:30 Double-unders20 Ball Slams 40/3010 Burpees Post results/thoughts Nice work on the power snatches today everybody. We saw how crucial a good power snatch was in the Open workout last week, so this is a great movement to hone in on and really get dialed down.  I also saw a handful of double-under PR’s today. Great job. I hope a bunch of you come in tomorrow to either do the workout or watch the athletes that are competing in the Open throw down and work hard. Cheers. Austin and Steve working through the double-unders On the platforms – Jade
