WOD:
HPS – 65#/5, 85#/5, 95#/5, 100#/2 (no 5th set)
Metcon – 5:12
HPS need help and good to get some ring dips in (it’s been awhile for me).

Man I love that guy! Awesome :).
Snatch- 65# on all sets (a good weight, I was very stable on all of them and maintained good speed on the set)
Met Con: 2:33 (purple band on dips). Good job 5 am boys for pounding those out!

Oh, and extra credit (just because :))
Tabata sit ups (13-12-12-12-12-12-12-11) and 2 sets of 10 one-legged squats while reaching forward. I liked that a lot Rob. Now after driving to work, I see how that’s supposed to make your lower back tight.

I’ve been thinking long and hard about a name for the leaning forward squats….. They should be called Fountain Burglars. It makes me think of someone trying to steal money out of a wishing fountain. thoughts?
