I pick things up and put them down

Nick | 06/01/2016 | 1

We pick up heavy things here all the time.  It’s good for us.  Our strength work today is to get up to a heavy single in our deadlift.  This isn’t necessarily a 1 rep max, but it might be.  It will certainly be good practice for the bracing we’ll want in place for the farmer carries in the WOD.  We’re going a bit further than we often do with farmer carries, so be sure to keep your spine long and your middle tight so your shoulders can sit back in a good place and keep you grip deep from the beginning.  The looser your grip is early, the faster it will fatigue.

Schedule update: There will be no gymnastics class next Wednesday, 6/8.  It will continue the following week.  I invite you all to use this time (which is still open gym) to come in and practice what we’ve been working on!
