    Hey Folks! So today is the last day for Front Desk billing (or so I hope).  Please keep an eye on your accounts over the next month to ensure we don’t double charge you.  I’m pretty sure I’ve sorted it all out, but there always seems to be something that sneaks through the cracks.  Let…

Great work on todays WOD – How are the forearms?  If you’re using the hook grip on your snatches they should be A-OK 😉  I know sometimes it hurts your thumbs, but it will improve your grip strength on those lifts without taxing your elbows/forearms.  Start doing it on your warm up sets…

    Hey Folks! So it was brought to my attention today that we did todays sod LAST wednesday.  Yeah thats ok 😉 That was an oversight on my part, but it’s never a bad time to work on ring dips and get some “core” work in with some abmat sit-ups. Looks like there are some solid…
