We had a visitor this morning, Kyle, from Virginia who killed it and was a great addition to the morning class. Hope to see a bunch of you tomorrow for something a little different. Cheers.

WOD: Hang Squat Snatch: 3-3-3-3-3 3 rounds AQAP:8 Dumbbell Thrusters 50/358 Dumbbell Hang Power Snatch Left 50/358 Dumbbell Hang Power Snatch Right 50/35 Post results/thoughts to comments As usual great work today guys, while we had a slow morning we saw a number of people in during the evening classes. You are all continuing to make improvements on the olympic lifts, which, is something that will never stop, you guys can always get better. While the met-con was short today it was certainly tough, and you all found out how much harder those thrusters can be with dumbbells or kettlebells. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

I think you all, like myself were feeling a little sluggish after some holiday indulgences but you all worked hard and pushed through a really tough workout. More of you are getting double-unders, and it was great to see a few of you step up and try handstand push-ups for the first time. Great to see so many faces in today, see you tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: – Squat Cleans: 5-5-5-5-5 – 21-15-9 – AQAP:Burpee Kettlebell Swing 53/35Plate Overhead Walking Lunges 45/25 Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today guys. For those who worked on squat cleans today you are making some good progress, and for those who opted to work on the front squat good work, and good job of stepping down and working on one of the key components of the squat clean. Burpee kettlebell swings were interesting to say the least, don’t worry you won’t see them often. Hope to see you guys for a big workout tomorrow, remember we are only open through noon. If we don’t see you have a great rest of the week and Holiday. Cheers. Lots of stretching in today’s warm-up Justin working through the lunges Damon getting that kettlebell overhead – Jade
