As long as you didn't let go of your bar yesterday, you wouldn't find yourself doing any burpee box jumps. The workout was
5 rounds for max hang power cleans:
3:00 work (hang power cleans until you had to set the bar down)
1:00 rest
Any time you set the bar down, you had to perform 7 burpee box jumps before picking up the bar again. We did this workout back in December, so a few people had some numbers to compare. I'm happy to report that everyone who did this workout back in December got MORE reps yesterday....some of them even used heavier weights! Great job you guys!
Know who has the BEST burpee box jumps I've ever seen? Ryan the Lion. It almost didn't even look real, because he was springing up and down so fast! Not only does Ryan move incredibly fast, he is also one of the most committed people I've ever seen. Maybe committed isn't the right word.....what would be a good word to describe somebody who finds something they want to be good at, and just dedicates themselves 110% to achieving their goal?? Every single day you'll find Ryan the Lion at the Fort multiple times a day. He's there working on his muscle-ups, handstands, L-sits, kipping pull-ups and even back levers!
Congratulations to Andrea for completing ramp-up yesterday morning! We're excited to have you as part of our Fort family!

Thank you for the kind words Jennie! I'm most delighted that our paths have crossed (you too Bill, Pete, Zack, and all other Fort members)! I look forward to crushing personal records (and even finding out what I am capable of) in the future.
