WOD: Wendler: Press – Week 8 AQAP:100 Burpees Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome work today everybody. For some of you this was your first time hitting the 100 burpees, for other it was there 2nd, 3rd, maybe even 4th time. This is a great benchmark workout, it really shows conditioning, and your willingness to push. For those who did it for the first time, don’t be surprised if you’ve got some butterflies next time around. See you tomorrow. Cheers. Burpee circle out back on the mats Jason doing it right and hitting that redline Sasha in the zone – Jade

WOD: Snatch Balance: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 21-15-9 – AQAP:Squat Snatch 95/65Chest-to-bar Pull-upsBox Jumps 30/24 Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, awesome work today everybody. What I’m probably most proud of is those of you who were humble and knew working on the overhead squat was a better option than doing a poor snatch balance because of your undeveloped overhead squat. You guys are all looking better overhead every day, squat, snatch, snatch balance, etc. it’s all getting better. Keep up the good work and see you tomorrow. Cheers. Drew gritting through the snatches Hitting the pull-ups Jeff with a nice snatch balance Jason focused on staying tight in the bottom Terri hitting full extension on her snatch…dropping under – Jade
