WEEK 34 Aug 28- Sept 3

Posted under: WOD

This week we have a few conditioning pieces in the form of a long partner row, a 3 round max effort sprint on the assault bike, and a 1 mile run on the WOD for Saturday. We introduced the barbell snatch technique last week, and everyone has been doing amazing, so this week were picking up where we left of when we do a snatch workout on Sunday. Everyone has been pushing their fitness but don’t forget to get some mobility work in before or after class to keep your bodies happy and healthy. See you all at the gym this week.
