FIRE-BREATHER
Training:
"Helton"
Teams of 2:
3 Rds
800m Run
30 Squat Cleans 135/95
30 Burpees
Training Notes:
Both people must complete the run before starting the work. Only one person works at a time and you may divide the work how you see fit. You must go in order. This is a HERO workout - give your best effort to honor Helton. Thank you Helton for making the ultimate sacrifice. All our best to Jiffy.

Funny thing is I decided to do this WOD because I figured I had to do burpees anyway... so why not mix something else in...ugh. I don't think I've ever spent so much time standing over the bar!
On a positive note, I felt my form improving while concentrating on keeping the bar close to my body.
Almost forgot the nut bra seems perfect for me the next time nick gives one of those work outs that makes them feel like there dragging the ground.
I teamed up with Theresa today. I must say I do not care for running. I also need to learn not round my back when I put the bar down. However, I did survive thanks for pushing me Theresa. Great job everyone!!
Kristi I cant believe you did the wod solo that's awesome!! Paul you better get your MU monday!!!
On a side note.....I must suggest the you tube video the nut bra to everyone. Apparently this video has been out for a while....so many years I was missing out. Have a great weekend everyone!
