WOD: Squat Snatch Work: 15 minutes Met-con:“Angie”100 Pull-ups100 Push-ups100 Sit-ups100 Air Squats Accessory: Good Morning 3 sets 20 reps Post results/thoughts to comments So I promise you all there aren’t any pull-ups for at least a few days, everyone has pushed hard and is getting visibly stronger on the pull-ups and learning to kip. We had a great turnout today, and the gym was packed with 15 people at 5:45 PM. On-ramp is done for the week but those that have been attending don’t hesitate to come in the rest of the days. We had a bunch of people come in for their first class and two new members sign up, if you see someone you don’t recognize, say hi. You guys are all doing an awesome job…keep it up. Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. Cheers. Vinny flattening the medball with…

WOD: – Find your 1 Rep Max Box Jump Height – Work You Weakness Strength Bias: 5-5-3 – 10 Minute AMRAP3 Squat Clean and Jerk 135/958 Ring Dips Post result/thoughts to comments We had a great day in the gym today. The On-Ramp crew got introduced to the thruster, and with that was able to complete the combo of thrusters and pull-ups to perform “Fran.” Everyone did a great job and we got scaling down perfect, with no one being over 7 minutes. The daily WOD went well, people worked on a variety of strength movements from power snatches to back squats, and some mental head games were played with the box jump. Top height for the day was 47″ done by a few people in the gym. Look for this again as a benchmark power movement. Those who were in agony today…

“Murph” AQAP1 Mile Run100 Pull-ups200 Push-ups300 Air Squats1 Mile Run Post time/thoughts to comments. We had an awesome day today. Those in the On-Ramp class got a workout that was a little longer than what we have been doing, and got a taste for the lovely wall balls. Those hitting the daily WOD worked their way through Murph…some incredible examples of mental endurance were displayed in that workout. Everyone did an amazing job, and congratulations to Ken…the kip finally clicked for him and he has got it down, watch out now. See you all tomorrow.

Great to see some of you in here this morning. Everyone worked their way through a tough WOD today and showed some great mental strength. It was great to see a couple On-Rampers come in to the normal class and get the feel for a slightly longer workout. We had 3 people in at the free intro class as well, you guys did a great job, we hope to see you back. Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers.

Happy birthday to Chris Smith. He got in the gym twice today, hitting two benchmark WOD’s and hitting big PR’s on both. Those who didn’t make it in missed a great workout. A quick note. We are putting together a team for the C2 fall rowing challenge. It started two days ago but you can still hop in. Each person on the team needs to row 100k over the next month. If we put together a full team we get entered into a raffle for a free rower. We’ve already got 6 people doing it, anyone is welcome to join…come in early to row or stay late, whatever you want. If we don’t see you this weekend, have a good one. Cheers. Hammering out air squats at the end of the WOD – Jade
