Pre Wod

Find your 1 rep max clean

http://www.vimeo.com/2145884

As you work towards your 1 rep max clean, two things become very important as the weight increases. First, you will need to receive the weight in a full squat position in order to realize your true max clean. As the weight becomes heavier, you must quickly and aggressively pull yourself under the bar. Second, as you are dropping under the bar, your elbows must rotate around the bar very quickly in order to receive the bar in the rack position.

 Workout of The Day

“ Jackie “
For time:

1000 meter row

50  45# thrusters

30 pullups

Scott has found his rhythm and is knocking out the kipping pullups now. Nice work Scott
