Friday we got to work our way up to a single rep max on the snatch. Bill and I also established some guidelines around what we'll allow to "count" for our record board. Here's the thing...sometimes when people are snatching they do a wide grip clean, press-out thingy. This isn't okay. We aren't going to hold anyone to USAW standards of "no press-out", but we would like you to at least completely clear your head before we see any pressing out. So if you snatch the barbell to your eyebrows, and then press it out, that's a no-go. If you snatch it above your head and press it out, DING DING DING! Record board time!

Speaking of record board time, Pete wore his lucky hat backwards, and snatched 101kg's! WOWZA! Back in December, his single rep max was 87kg's. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Mark Ritchie, David, Craig, Ryan Z., Sam, Strong Julie, Hero Mike, Steph L., April, Kirsten, Mike K., Bethy, Brian A., and Hannah also set new PR's yesterday. Great job everyone!

The metcon was a 10:00 AMRAP of double unders and kettle bell swings. A couple of you groaned and rolled your eyes at the double unders, but much to YOUR surprise, all that trying paid off! You finally got some double unders! Watching people get their first double under is like watching a small child open a really amazing present on Christmas morning. You're not sure where this amazing thing came from, but you're soooo happy to have it!

We had 11 people finish ramp-up this last week, so expect to see some new faces. Let's remember to introduce ourselves and be friendly! Remember how nervous you were your first few "real classes" at the Fort?

I wish I could remember why Mike was laughing.
