WOD: 10 minute AMRAP:3 Handstand Push-ups15 Wall Balls 20/14 Rest exactly 8 minutes 3 rounds AQAP:15 Hang Power Cleans 135/9515 Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments A tough one on the shoulders today. It may have seemed like this was too tough, but it’s good to put yourself in an uncomfortable position, i.e. shoulders worked and then having to do handstand push-ups. Great job on the second WOD, that was a wicked lung burner. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. – Jade

You all did awesome with your deadlifts, and a bunch of PR’s were had. With that please be careful when lifting heavy. Lifting heavy is awesome, it will make you stronger and make everything you do in life easier. With that, when you lift heavy, you need to lift safely. Deadlifting especially, you are moving a lot of weight around and if you don’t maintain your neutral back position you can hurt your back. I know a few folks hurt themselves today solely because too much weight was on the bar. If you feel your back start to go at all you should be setting the bar down and…

WOD: Hang Squat Snatch: 3-3-3-3-3 (These are unbroken sets, no letting the bar go after each rep, bring it back down to the hang after each rep) 15 minute AMRAP:1 Squat Snatch 135/953 Overhead Squats 135/9530 Lateral Bar Hops Post results/thoughts to comments Nice work today everybody on the snatches. Please remember, you will get way more out of working on these movements light and getting the technique dialed down than putting a bunch of weight on and muscling the movement around. My apologies to the 5:45 PM class. It was awesome to have so many people, 24 in fact, but we weren’t able to do the workout as written because of a space issue. I did my best to try and utilize the important movements of the workout and still get everyone going at once. We are moving, I don’t have an exact…
