Those of you who have been with us for a few months got to look back on your 100 burpees to see how your conditioning has improved. God that was awful…you can watch me suffer through it on the facebook page. See you tomorrow for a fun one.

WOD: Box Jump: 10-10-8-6-4-4-2-2 (reps must be unbroken in each set, use the highest possible box on each set, rest each set as needed) 8 minute AMRAP:3 Handstand Push-ups6 Ring Dips9 Push-ups Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, some big box jumps today guys…remember commit to that thing and big box jumps are all about sucking those legs up. It was great to see everybody use the rings today, whether assisted or not, this is great practice and will help work on your shoulder strength just by stabilizing yourself in that position. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: Clean and Jerk Complex: 1-1-1-1-1 (One Complex is 1 Deadlift, 1 Squat Clean, 1 Hang Power Clean, and 1 Split Jerk) 21-15-9 AQAP:Kettlebell Snatch Left 53/35Kettlebell Snatch Right 53/35Pull-ups Post results/thoughts to comments I have to say I’m amazed at how much so many of you have improved on your olympic work, most notably the squat cleans. A bunch of you have made some big progress there. Good job on the kettlebell snatch as well, we don’t do them a lot and they are definitely a tough movement, so it was good to see some of you getting the hang of it. Great job everybody. See you tomorrow. Cheers.
