WOD: Power Snatch: 3-3-3 Power Snatch Unbroken: 10-10-10 8 rounds of Tabatta:Ball Slams 40/30Air Squats Alternate every interval between the 2 movements Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. Your Olympic lifts are constantly getting better. Even though it’s not on the board very often, work on making big sets in your workouts. Try and hold onto your bar, or kettlebell or whatever as long as you can. I think everyone looked at the board today and shrugged the workout off a little bit. You all found it was a wicked burner. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow, if not enjoy your weekend. Cheers. Putting some power on the ball Stephanie in full extension – Jade

WOD: Pistol Squat Practice: 15 minutes “DT”- 5 rounds AQAP:12 Deadlifts 155/1059 Hang Power Cleans 155/1056 Push Jerk 155/105 Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. A few people got their first pistol squats which is awesome. “DT” is a rough workout to say the least and you guys all did an awesome job pushing through it. It may not be the longest workout, but it is heavy and tough. Great job guys. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

Wow it seemed hot out, I guess it’s just been so damn cold. You guys did awesome and a lot of you made some improvements on your kettlebell snatch today. It’s a tricky movement and it’ll take some time to dial in, hope no ones forearms are too beat up. Building on the back squats tomorrow. See you then. Cheers.
