WOD: Front Squat: 5-5-5-5-5 Rest no more than 2 minutes between sets. All 5 sets should be heavy, look to find a current 5RM and go for a PR! Chest and elbows up.AQAP:1000m Row50 Plate Overhead Walking Lunges 45/2525 Burpees For results post heaviest set of Front Squats, and time for Met-con along with any scaling used.Post results/thoughts to comments Heavy Front Squats were the name of the game today. Way to push some heavy loads around guys and hit some nice squats. Remember to always be conscious of the chest and elbow positioning, and if you’re back isn’t working, you’re chest isn’t high enough. Short little met-con today, but a wicked burner. Cheers.

WOD: Squat Snatch: 2 Squat Snatches Every-minute-on-the-minute for 8 minutes Squats Snatches should be at approximately 75% of your 1RM Snatch. These should not be touch and go. We are looking for precision form. Perform 1 rep, drop the bar, reset to a nice start position and perform a second rep. The weight should be heavy, but something that you shouldn’t be at risk of failing.AQAP:30 Back Squats 135/9520 Pull-ups10 Shoulder-to-Overhead 135/9520 Front Squats 135/95 20 Pull-ups 10 Shoulder-to-Overhead 135/95 10 Overhead Squats 135/95 20 Pull-ups 10 Shoulder-to-Overhead 135/95 For this workout you are allowed one bar and one weight.

Whether you tried climbing the rope, hung on it, or made it all the way up it was awesome to see you all attack it. You will see Rope Climbs starting to be programmed a little more often now, once or twice a month, so make sure you have your long socks when you come to the gym, you never know when they will pop up. Amazing work this week everybody. See you all Monday. Cheers. Quyen making her way up the rope Bart and Sefton making their way up Terri conquered…

If you’ve got a strong Power Clean and not a great Squat Clean this was a great opportunity to work on some heavy Squat Cleans. You all did an awesome job on “Nate” as well, I think I saw a few people hit their first HSPU’s in a workout which is so amazing to see. Keep…
