WOD: Squat Snatch: 3-3-3-3-3 5 rounds AQAP:6 Clean and Jerk 155/105200m Run Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome job today everybody. While the gym was a little scant on faces, those who came in continue to improve on their olympic work. Work on getting that Burgener Warm-up down as well, it is a great warm-up, and only takes a few minutes to go through by yourself, it will help you, and pay dividends on your snatch work. Hope we see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. Hitting the run Terri getting her bar overhead Tanya continuing to get stronger and faster, and as of this Paleo Challenge she has lost some 30+ pounds
