I think all those tuck jumps today gave you all reason to start learning the double-unders. Great job on a rough conditioning workout. Keep it up. Cheers.

WOD: Snatch Grip Deadlift: 5-5-5-5-5 5 rounds AQAP:3 Power Cleans 185/1355 Front Squats 185/13515 Pull-ups Post results/thoughts to comments Everyone was moving some heavy weight around today. Great job guys. Mixed the deadlift up a little bit today by using that snatch grip. Good work on the cleans, a lot of you are getting better with them. One thing, mainly with the power cleans, make sure you guys are landing in that quarter squat position. Some folks have been landing with the knees bent and hip completely muted (open). This is no good, be mindful of it and work on it if you know you are doing it. Keep up the good work everybody. T-shirts and Hoodies are in as well. We got extras if you didn’t order any, if you did order some they are here and you can come and pick them…

WOD: Overhead Squat: 5-3-3-2-2-1-1-1 Partner Rowing – AQAP:20x250m (switch every 250m, your rest is your partners row time) Post results/thoughts to comments Nice job today everybody. A bunch of PR’s on the overhead squat were seen. Way to get at it. Nice job cranking on the rower to. Some fast 250m times were thrown down, and you guys all pushed hard on a tough interval workout. Keep it up. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. On the rowers with teammates cheering on Chris with a PR of 215 on his overhead squat Tanya and Terri gutting through the intervals – Jade

A little double met-con action to get the lungs going. The first one was a real burner and it was great to see so many of you rock some heavier push presses than you might normally have. Great work. Keep it up. See you tomorrow. Cheers. Johnny up on the box Hitting some push presses Kate in zone – Jade
