We did a good bit of clean and jerk work last week and I really think it paid off today. Everyones movements are continuing to improve. Many of you stepped it up today with the higher boxes which was awesome to see, high box jumps are all about commitment. Nice to see so many people in the gym as well. Congrats to Ken and Phil who both got their first muscle-ups today as well. A reminder, the linkbar has a page for the Paleo Challenge, check it out, get pumped, and get ready to get…

WOD: Thruster: 5-5-5-5-5 (must be cleaned from the floor to start) 12 minute AM-REP-AP:Row 1000m75 Hang Power Snatches 65/45Air Squats In 12 minutes you must complete the row, the snatches, and then perform as many air squats as possible in the remaining time. Score is total air squats. Post results/thoughts to comments Have to say I was super impressed with everybody today, you all moved around some pretty serious weight on those heavy thrusters. You all clearly felt the burn on the met-con…one thing to remember with the more complicated movements, a la the snatch. Most of you understand the movement and know what to do with the PVC and with your weight come the beginning of the workout, but then that often disappears as the workout goes on. This isn’t because you don’t know how to do the movement or even because…

We got a lot of you up into handstands against the wall which for many was completely new. Great job of committing to the movement and getting used to being upside down…a great thing to practice when you’ve got a spare minute at the box. Way to get those lungs burning on the met-con as well, a spicy little meatball it was. Everyone is doing a tremendous job, working…
