Workin' it, Wooorkin' iiiitt...




Lift:
HeavyFront Squats
3-3-3-3-3 @ 31X1

WOD:
"Breakdown"
21-15-9
Pull Ups
Burpees

Post loads, time and thoughts to comments.

Tempo for Front Squats is read: 3 seconds down,  1 second pause, X - explode, 1 second pause
Using tempo for heavy lifts promotes full mental and physical focus.  Moreover, it develops strength, power and coordination throughout the full ROM of the movement.




We have moved our Friday Get-Together to Saturday to coincide with our "Murph' WOD described below.

Are you coming!?

Save the date and join in on the fun!!
We're having a Community WOD on Saturday June 26, 2010 in honor of a fallen soldier
Lt. Michael Murphy @ our Williamstown Box @ 9:30am.  It will be aceremonious WOD and will start at our 'original' box (the garage) and endat the new one!  We're hoping you can all make it!  We plan on having a BBQ afterwards and some refreshments.  This will be our unofficial opening and wanted to extend the invite to all of our current athletes and friends.  Feel free to participate in the WOD, the cheering, the BBQ and/or the refreshments!!
Let us know your intentions and looking forward to having you all there!!

So for the 26th, are we parking at the new box first and being shuttled over to the old box? What time should we be there (the new box) ???

Lift:
115 - 135 - 145 - 155 - 175
Felt good on the lift today. Using the tempo above was a nice change. I could really feel it in my hips and upper thigh.

WOD
7:31
Felt good here too. Burpees slowed me down a bit but I picked it up for the last 9.

Feeling good today. Finished up my final exam last night, and I think I did pretty well. No more classes for 2 weeks. Love it!!!!

Wod: Rx'd- 3:40. Was able to string a bunch of butterfly pull-ups together thanks to our buddy Chris Spealler. Great vid! Thanks for posting it. focussed on getting my legs/feet back the same way I focus on keeping my feet forward in the reg kipping pull-ups. Psyched about it! Also, count me in for the Murph Wod/Event!! Can't wait and scared as H at the same time!

5:48 RX. got my first 21 pullups unbroken, like The Breeze, that is a PR for me

Cant seem to figure out why I suck at burpees so bad but the set of 15 was a real kick in the nads

I think I underestimated Pon again, sorry brother but I am sure you crushed that time that I put up there for you
