WOD: Wendler: Week 5 – Squat 5 rounds AQAP:5 Squat Snatch 135/95200m Run Post results/thoughts to comments Great job today everybody, hope you’re legs aren’t so cooked you can’t move tomorrow. Great job on the snatches, whether you have the full range of motion and did squat snatches or aren’t there yet and did power snatches instead you all did great. For those who don’t have that range of motion, it will come, but you’ve got to be responsible for it. Keep working on your mobility. See you all tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: Wendler: Week 4 – Pull 5 rounds AQAP:10 Pistol Squats50 Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, it’s July. Another month has passed by. Everybody is doing an amazing job with their training and I hope to see many more PR’s and fast times this month to. Keep it up guys. Good job today. Your last day of light “Wendler,” we will be ramping the weights back up next week. It was great to see so many of you work on some form of pistol squat as well. When you’ve got a free minute in the gym work on them, they are a great little skill movement. Cheers.

WOD: Work Your Weakness Strength: 20 minutes (Pick 2 movements. These movements must be strength based. Pick a rep range between 1-5 and a weight, if applicable, to match the rep range. Perform the 1st movement for the given rep range every-minute-on-the-minute for 10 minutes and then move to the 2nd movement, performing the given rep range every-minute-on-the-minute for 10 minutes.) Work Your Weakness Met-con:  12 minute AMRAP (This must be a couplet. So pick 2 movements, pick the weights where applicable, and reps ranges for both the movements. Perform an AMRAP for 12 minutes with the given movements, weights, and reps you have chosen.) Post results/thoughts to comments Nice work today everybody. Again always great to see you all truly hitting your weaknesses. Thanks to Scott for writing the board and putting a great and very honest definition of what a weakness in CrossFit…
