Some of you guys were soaring on those things. Good to see a few of you starting to get muscle-ups as well…you’ll be able to do them in WOD’s pretty soon. Lastly way to lift some heavy weights in a conditioning workout. You guys all killed it in every aspect today, and the split jerks already looked much better than yesterday. It’s great to see some bigger classes, we are growing with just over 50 people now, and hopefully 8-10 new people starting next week. Keep pushing yourselves guys you are all making huge gains.

WOD: – Jump Rope: 10 minutes – “Air Force Karen”Complete 150 Wall Balls 20/14 AQAPEvery minute on the minute perform 5 burpees, workout starts with 5 burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome work today everybody…Nadir really picking up the double-unders and many of you are starting to get a few here and there. Good job on the wall ball workout…do keep in the back of your head in any workout that form is of utmost importance over intensity. I’d rather see you guys do the reps properly and take a little longer…today a lot of the squats were a little shallow, so keep that in mind for the future, you’re only hurting yourself by not hitting the movement all the way. Hope to see you all tomorrow for another benchmark WOD. Cheers. Hitting the wall balls Donny and Scott working the wall balls…
