WOD: “Badger”- 3 rounds AQAP30 Squat Cleans 95/6530 Pull-upsRun 800m Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome work today everybody…forgot the camera today so no pictures of everyone pushing through this beast of a workout. Great job on the squat cleans, many of you are making great improvements on that lift. Awesome work on the pull-ups as well, many are getting considerably stronger on the pull-up bar and making their way down to smaller bands, or no bands at all. Great job guys. Have a great weekend and happy Halloween. Cheers. – Jade
