Way to get strong #1:

Pick something heavy up off the ground!

This past Friday, a group of us got together at Rocky Top for a heavy deadlift session. We warmed up and then started ramping up the weight, topping out at 167kg (367.4#). Courtney worked some push jerks (gotta love the sound of a heavy bar dropping from overhead), and then she and Bin stormed through a short, sweet metcon:

30, 20, 10 rep rounds for time:
Push-ups
Hang Power Cleans (95#/45#)

Check out some pictures from the workout below...


The pull from the floor.

Fight for it! (yelling is a must)

Lock out!
(exhale on the way up? bullshit; intra-thoracic pressure rules!)


And your moment of Zen...

Damnit guys, no smiling while you lift!

Friday's deadlift session was great... 367.4# was a big PR for me (almost 40 pounds!). Thanks to Bin, Forney, and Courtney for the coaching and encouragement.

I still need to do my damn graduation celebration workout. Seriously I know someone out there wants to try the misery mile...

Yesterday - scaled "Ryan"
5 rds for time:
5 muscle-ups
21 burpees

Seriously underestimated the toll the burpees would take on my shoulders in terms of my ability to rep out the MU's. Had to switch to jumping muscle up's on round four to keep the pace up.

Today - scaled "Mr. Joshua"

Run 1/4 mi.
