“Dan breaks in his Do-Wins”
After months of me telling Dan how he should get some O Lifting shoes, it finally happened. To celebrate, we enjoyed a partner WoD that incorporated Clean and Jerks!

Partner A:
5 ROUNDS OF CINDY (5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats)
Partner B:
MAX CLEAN AND JERKS IN THE TIME A DOES ROUNDS

REPEAT UNTIL EACH HAS DONE 5, 4,3,2, AND 1 ROUND. SCORE BY TOTAL CLEAN AND JERKS.

There was a time cap of 25 minutes, with only Chris and Dan completing this grueling workout. That was fine, and imposed a self scaling effect on the other participants, who got plenty of work in. Sara gave some great pointers on the cleans as well.

Also, a big welcome back to Mike F., back from international travel, and Steph!

    This workout was tough. Worked with Chris, used 85kg for the ground to overhead.

    Don’t remember my exact reps per round, but first round I think got 21, then 11 or 12, and everything is kind of a blur. Ended up with 51 reps. Think I could’ve got back to the bar quicker and squeezed out a few more reps, squats on the Cindy rounds also need work.

    Great job everyone!

    It felt so good to be back and sweating! Worked with Chrissy with 55lbs for the c&j and did ring rows instead of pull-ups. Got 45 c&j and was only able to complete the 5-round and half of the 4-round Cindy.

    My body is hating me though, legs and traps are so sore!!!!! 4 months off is no joke! So far only noticed a little hip pain (so yay) and will ask the therapist when I go to PT today.

    Can’t wait to be back full-time!!!!

    Steph, you know I was psyched to get you back in class, and really happy to hear you feel good. (Sore is good, hurt is not).

    2 returnees in one night! awesome work by both Mike and Steph; also glad to see Steph actually listens to both Tom & herself and limits the weight she attempts while recovering from injury – maybe she can teach me that along with Chinese…

    Yeah…I’m not even going to try. I’ve given up on you a long time ago Salty, on both accounts 😉
