WOD: Clean and Jerk: 15 minutes to build to a heavy Clean and Jerk EMOTM 8 minutes: Perform 2 Clean and Jerks at 85% of your heaviest lift Open WOD 12.2 – 7 minute AMRP:Burpees to 6″ Target Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome job today everybody. A number of you hit PR’s on your Clean and Jerk and a you all tore it up on the burpees. That little extra 6″ jump slowed them down a good bit and made them extra tough. We had an awesome crew in tonight for the CrossFit Open judged workouts. Please remember, you don’t have to be signed up for the Open to come in Friday evening. We’d love to have as many people come in and do the workout regardless of whether or not you’re competing. With that said we’d also love to see you come in if…

Working those strict pull-ups and or chin-ups will help make that back strong and get you better at those pull-ups. Band or not they help a lot. Lungs were on the menu today and you all lit them on fire. Great job on the workout pushing hard and working to stop as little as possible. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

Great job everybody. Way to tear it up. That was a tough workout, and to make it even more difficult bringing in the unbroken jump rope really made people hone in and focus on what they were doing. Looks like it’s going to be quite warm tomorrow, come prepared to be outside. Cheers. Cindy doing an awesome job, using 95lbs for the Deadlift and doing all 7 rounds…if you look to our testimonials it was only a year ago that Cindy couldn’t do a Burpee and could barely Deadlift because of back pain…70 Deadlifts today at 95lbs and 70 Burpees, great job Cindy…and…
