Awesome work. A few of you stepped it up with bigger weights today which was awesome to see. People are starting to move those bigger kettlebells around and you guys are all making progress on your snatches. Great job, have a great weekend and see you Monday. Cheers.

WOD: – Strict Dead Hang Weighted Pull-up: 5-5-5-5-5 – 12 Minute AMRAP:10 Toes-to-bar20 Wall Balls 20/1440 Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments So awesome to see so many of you starting to be able to bust out double-unders in the workouts, great work guys. Julia got her first double-under today and Erik came in early to have his hand at the rower for 500m…big PR at 1:26.0. Many of you who have been working with the bands on the pull-ups are making big progress as well, really making your way down to the smaller bands. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, if not have a great weekend. Cheers.

Being stronger will help you in every aspect of physical movement so keep at it guys. Hope to see more of you in the gym tomorrow as it was a bit of a ghost town today, I imagine some of you are still hurting from the last few days. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: 30 minute AMRAP:21 Deadlifts 135/9514 Lunges7 Jerks 135/95 Post results/thoughts to comments Way to work hard today everybody. You all pushed through a long tough WOD and dealt with the feelings of some serious discomfort for an extended period of time. You are all continuing to push yourselves harder and harder with everyday, and as OPT says you are “getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.” A new month is upon us, keep working hard and you will continue to be rewarded. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: – Turkish Get-up: 15 minutes – AQAP:20 Burpees30 Power Cleans 135/9540 Double-unders500m Row Post results/thoughts to comments First off great day today guys. I think a lot of you enjoyed learning the turkish get-up, it is a great movement and really is a great test of fully body strength. Way to push yourselves hard on the met-con today…if you saw people flattened on the floor and you weren’t, that’s fine, intensity is something that is learned for many, it will come. With that said don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t get a workout in 7 minutes, because you sure can. In addition another month has gone by and you guys are all doing an amazing job. Those of you who have been with us since September are really starting to see some big gains in their performance in all aspects…
