WOD: Push Jerk: 5-5-5-5-5 5 rounds for total reps – 2 minutes work, 1 minute rest:10 Deadlifts 225/15540 Lateral Bar HopsMax Ball Slams 40/30 Post results/thoughts to comments Nice job on the jerks today guys. While some of you worked through your sets as push press, you ultimately want to get that jerk dialed down and get your body moving under the bar. If you can get under the bar you’ll move more weight. Way to push hard on the met-con, as usual it might have looked easy on the board, but boy was it a burner. Keep it up, see you tomorrow. Cheers. Up and over the bars Therin overhead for a ball slam Getting after it – Jade

I hope nobody tore up their hands too bad. Remember, it’s not worth wrecking your hands, a little tear is one thing, but don’t shred your hands, switch off and do ring rows or something similar. Cheers.

WOD: Work Your Weakness Strength: 20 minutes (Pick 2 movements. These movements must be strength based. Pick a rep range between 1-5 and a weight, if applicable, to match the rep range. Perform the 1st movement for the given rep range every-minute-on-the-minute for 10 minutes and then move to the 2nd movement, performing the given rep range every-minute-on-the-minute for 10 minutes.) Work Your Weakness Met-con:  12 minute AMRAP (This must be a couplet. So pick 2 movements, pick the weights where applicable, and reps ranges for both the movements. Perform an AMRAP for 12 minutes with the given movements, weights, and reps you have chosen.) Post results/thoughts to comments Great to see so many folks in today and it was awesome to workout with a jamming 5:45 PM class. Wow I don’t think we’ve ever been that busy on a Friday night. It was great…

WOD: Power Clean: 5-5-5-5-5 AQAP:1000m Row (800m Run for the afternoon classes)10 rounds of5 Power Cleans 155/10510 Games Push-ups Post results/thoughts to comments I think everyones low back is now thoroughly worked if it wasn’t already. You’ll get to pick your workout tomorrow. A key thing for a lot of you to remember about the power clean. Make sure your elbows move under the bar, under your wrist. Never should you rotate with the elbow being the axis, the wrist should be the axis. In fact this goes for any clean or snatch. Keep up the great work everybody, see you tomorrow. Cheers. Likely one of the last few runs of the year Class working hard Donny feeling the pain of the push-ups – Jade
