* If you are planning on following this programming please plan to come at the appropriate time, the Jerk work can be done with class, but otherwise the rest of the work should be done in the back room so as not to disturb class. There is On-Ramp at 6:45 so please be mindful and make sure the back space is clear before then. Thanks.

** Saturday, September 20th is our 4 Year Anniversary Party. Potluck style, we are providing a pig and a keg. Party starts at 5:00 PM.

WOD:

1) Pause Front Squats: 5 sets of 2

Warm-up as needed. Rest 90-120 seconds between sets. Pause in the bottom of each rep for 3 seconds. These should be done with NO BOUNCE.

3) Split Jerk: 3 reps Every 2 minutes for 7 sets

Start around 60-70% of your 1RM Jerk. Build as heavy as deemed fit. Use blocks if you have them. Goal is heavier than last week.
