WOD: Muscle-up Practice: 15 minutes (work on any facet of muscle-ups, assisted, pull-ups, dips, etc) 8 minute AMRAP:8 Box Jumps 30/248 Medball Slams 20/148 Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome to see so many faces on a Friday, we had our biggest class yet with 18 people in at noon. Everybody did a great job and it was great to see so many people tackling the assisted muscle-ups.

WOD: Work You Weakness Strength: 5-5-3 “Karabel” – 10 rounds AQAP:3 Snatch (any type) 135/9515 Wall Balls 20/14 Post results/thoughts to comments Nice to see a busier Thursday than normal today, I guess that may have been because we shut down yesterday, but none the less it was great to see a bunch of faces in the gym. Those who weren’t in yesterday made up the overhead squats with the work your weakness, you are all continuing to get better at these, it’s a tough movement that will make you strong throughout your body. For those who didn’t notice, “Karabel”, is two of the girl WOD’s put together, “Karen” which is 150 wall balls, and “Isabelle” which is 30 snatches, great job rocking out a tough workout guys. A big noon class on their first round of Wall Balls Chuck showing the bar…

It’s February guys, another On-ramp group just finished, and we’ve got 10 more new folks already signed up for this month, you’ll also see the addition of the Bliss Racing Junior Development team, there are about 8 kids that will be doing a private On-ramp and then they will be launching into our daily classes. Big congrats to Julia and Kathy, before setting up a band for the chin-ups today they each tried with nothing, Julia got 2 chin-ups, and Kathy got 1 pull-up, firsts for both of them. Congratulations guys. Great work today everybody. See you tomorrow, we may be canceling classes due to the incoming snow storm.
