Congrats to Diane for WOD # 250! To celebrate she knocked out 250 lateral burpees after class (pictured).  Amazing!!!

Also congrats to Bob B. for crushing the Advanced RX Test tonight. He cruised right through the whole thing leading me to wonder if I need to make it harder…

In all seriousness both Diane and Bob are great examples of consistency and hard work, and both have made big gains in their health and fitness. As Rob W. would say, “Proud of you! So proud!”.

In the “My fitness is inadequate” Department:

This 19 year old from Uzbekistan just snatched 397 lbs.  and also clean and jerked 462 lbs. to win the Junior World Championships. His total would have placed him 4th at the last Olympics.

Testing day! Today we finish the Front Squat cycle of 10, 7, 5, 3 and 1 rep maxes each week. Lots of squat strength added this month and now the trick will be to balance both Front and Back Squats while looking to cycle a different lift.
