A different type of test today

Finally our WOD books have arrived. I am selling them at cost which is $20 per book + tax = $22.40. This is a great tool to keep track of your progress and something I would like every athlete to use. I will be gradually phasing out the old books, though off course you are welcome to keep them up yourselves with the old sheets. I only ordered 20 in this first run so if you want one get in the gym or put your name on one by leaving a comment on this post.

Alright I have been thinking about this one for a while. Haven't seen this done quite like this before so lets give it a shot. Should be a serious grip tester.

WOD: 
There will be four lifting areas in the gym. You will perform a Squat and Clean and Jerk at each of the four stations. The bar cannot rest on the ground between stations. The stations will be set up around the gym. You must walk the bar to the other station any way you can (likely in the front rack position). Once you reach the station you may drop the bar on the ground but you only have 10 seconds to begin your next C&J. Highest weight total wins. You may make as many attempts at this as you like. At minimum everyone needs to try 4. Only one athlete will be working at a time.

Post: 
We might do some post midline work, depending on how long this will take.

Tuesday Leaderboard to go on tomorrow. The photo I took of it is cut off on the ladies side.

  1. I made fun of Annie when she bought one at the games, but now that I have one I'm "all in". On top of charting progress, this is a great little resource on calculating your weight for lifts and for setting goals. Even a spot right at the front to write them down and track them! Plus they just look so snazzy and cool! Geez, you'd think I'm getting a commission...
