WOD: Wendler: Week 11 – Press 12 minute AMRAP: 5 Wall Climbs 10 Toes-to-bar Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome job today everybody. Again PR’s on presses all over the place, and people are getting stronger with their pull-ups. Wow, that was a tough workout, I think a lot of people forgot how tough those wall climbs were. Impressive job to those of you gritting through the wall climbs one at a time. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers.

You may start to see a little more interval based training in the gym from now on. They allow you to keep hitting that peak heart rate and make for and awesome workout and a great way to increase your aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Some of you got your first double-unders today which was awesome, and a bunch of you are continuing to string them together better and better as time goes on. Keep up the good work everybody, hope to see you tomorrow. Cheers….

WOD: Wendler: Week 10 – Pull AQAP:800m Run30 Clean and Jerks 135/95800m Run Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, great job today everybody. You all pulled some heavy deadlifts, and ran your butts off. Way to really push it on the final 800m, like I explained to everyone before the workout, whenever you do something that ends with a row or run you should be on the floor, you should push yourself to the limit that last minute or so of the workout. Hope lots of you make it into the gym tomorrow. Cheers.
