Quote of the Day: “Tom ruined a perfectly good WOD.” (since it had a mile run in it) ~ Jorge
High bar or low bar back squat? Which one do I use? Why? How do I do it safely? Well, we covered that today in class, but you can also read on about low and high bar position in the following links from Stronglifts.com:

High Bar vs. Low Bar Placement on Squats
The back squat was new for most today since we finally have enough racks to use for class. It is a relatively easy lift to dial in but takes time to get stronger in. Prep for some sore butts tomorrow!
Notes:
Congrats Graham on reaching your 100th WOD and joining the club! You earned it. Also congrats on 3 weeks into your Whole 30 Challenge and drastically making improvements in your fitness level and health.
Speaking of Whole 30, tonight we had a delicious dinner with our guests Dallas and Melissa from Whole9 on their way back through town on their road trip. After dropping by the box they came over and cooked a delicious dinner. The recipe can be found here. That Sunshine Sauce is the bomb! Good times!
