That's right folks...yesterday was single rep max front squat day. Woo Hoo! We saw a bunch of really amazing PR's. Not surprisingly, Mark Ritchie had our 2nd highest squat of the day. He was 2nd only to Pete. Congrats Pete on squatting 150kg's, and to Mark for 142kg's. You two = strong.
They weren't the only ones that got to ride the PR train....Dad, Heath, Earl, Audra, Kinsy, Morgan, Season, Deb, Bret, Tommy Mo, Shaffer, Charlie, Bethy, Brian A., Heather and Daniel also bought a ticket for the PR train! Great job you guys!
Single rep max day sure is fun, isn't it? Setting that new PR is like Christmas in May to me!
The metcon allowed you the freedom to break up the work however you deemed fit. You had to do 20 reps of shoulder to overhead (60/40kg's) and 40 burpees. If you wanted to get all 20 shoulder to overheads out of the way and then move onto your burpees, that was fine. If you wanted to split it up, you were more than welcome to. This workout actually came from one of the Regional competitions. It's always fun to see how our CrossFitters stack up to the national competition!
We are going to have a different schedule for this coming Monday - Memorial Day. We are going to do this "Team Saturday Style", and have one big, enormous class at 9:00AM. There will still be the 7PM ramp-up in case you're wondering, but all the other normal class times are cancelled. Hope to see everyone at 9:00AM!
