CLOSED MONDAY

This sucks, but this is a very rare situation. We apologize if you were going to brave the roads to get your WOD on today.

Workout from home and post scores to comments.

Tabata Intervals for Pull Ups (or table rows), push ups, sit ups, and squats

For twenty seconds do as many reps of the assigned exercise as you can – then rest 10 seconds. Repeat this seven more times for a total of 8 intervals, 4 minutes of total exercise.
The score is the least number of reps for any of the eight intervals. Repeat for each exercise above.

If you haven’t already, take a look at our holiday schedule for this week!

Friday 12-19-08

Deadlift: work up to 1 RM
5 rounds:
5 Deadlifts @ 80% max

Congrats to Graham who made fantastic improvements with his Squat tonight. If you are not blessed with vertically challenged legs, rowing is really easy, but getting a good squat is a lot of work. Each round his squat got stronger and stronger. Get it Graham!
