A lot of you look great on the bench, put some great numbers up, and really focused on your technique on the bench which is something you might not have thought about before. While many thought the workout looked a little too easy, I think those of you who really pushed yourselves found it to be quite difficult. Some heavier weight…

WOD: Power Clean: 5-5-5-5-5 AQAP:1000m Row50 Deadlifts 185/13550 Wall Balls 20/1450 Kettlebell Swings 53/35 Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. Where was the morning crew? Nobody was in this morning, but boy was it packed at night. Cleans were continuing to look better for many of you, and a lot of you are getting better at getting under the bar and not swinging or curling the bar. Nice job on the WOD, it was a tough one, but it was great to see so many of you grit your teeth and really hold onto the bar, ball, or kettlebell for big sets. Great work. Cheers.

If you’ve got something really good that you’d like to post please send it along to me and if possible send a picture to.
