Springtime

Spring has arrived, and with it Spring weather. That means being outdoors, running outdoors, and more importantly workouts outdoors; hopefully we can be creative and take advantage of it. The best part, however, is the arrival of Spring fruits and vegetables, local and delicious.

PS Sweet workout done by UCR's women's volleyball team: here

Also, quick video of a few oly lift complexes for anyone who's been practicing those lifts.
Through all the sets, the basic variation is to do a Power (lift), Squat from the rack position (front or overhead), Hang (lift), then drop down for a full (lift). You can use this format for both snatch and clean, and it's a good way to get solid practice at everything when using light weight. Here

Nice going Armando! I have things going on all afternoon and night tomorrow, but if we can get 3+ (2 works but not as well) tomorrow morning at AFC at 9:30, I have an intense small group WOD that I picked up from an affiliate I visited this winter. Anyone who can make it, see you in the AM for some high intensity randomized (yes, randomized) fun. Meet by the mats overlooking the pool on the main level.
