Hey Friends!

That was a super fun partner WOD.  Thanks to Alex for helping carry me through that one!  Tuesday is 1RM Front Squat Day!  Boom-Pow!  Get in there and crush extreme.  If you aren’t feeling super sexy, then you can wait until Thursday to do it as there will be time :)

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m loving the programming.  I feel like it’s physically challenging, though not in a way that leaves me feeling wrecked for the next days training.  What do you guys think?

Coaching Tips: Make sure that you aren’t “rocking” the push-ups off of your quads like a rocking chair (this is a form of knee push up and not a legit push up). On the box step-ups, full hip extension is required at the top, but using the hands to push off the thighs isn’t necessarily wrong. The whole foot should be on the box so that you can drive through the heel and use some glutes.
