A little sunshine, a little rain

March 12th, 2010, by Jennie

Wasn't the weather yesterday weird? We've seen temperatures around 55 degrees, and last night we even got a thunderstorm!

Our strength work yesterday was back squat 5-5-5+ at 65, 75, and 85% of your single rep max. It's great to see people making so much progress with their squats. I like all the driving through the heels, straight bar paths, bars over the middle of feet...it truly makes me weep with happiness!

Our metcon was this little number:

5-10-15-10-5
burpee box jumps (24")
Overhead squats (50/35kg)

Yeah! No pull-ups! We had a HUGE 5PM class last night, and things got a little tight. Is everyone registering for classes? We're inching closer to having to enforce our 12 person max. Only 3 or 4 people are registering for classes on a regular basis....right now they are my favorite people in the world. REGISTER FOR CLASSES!

I have some exciting news! Ivy got her first pull-up last night! Woo Hoo!

Have you guys laid eyes on our better body participants these last few days? They are looking SMOKIN' HOT! Belts are being pulled a few notches tighter...friends and family are asking about this "new diet". I'm so proud of you guys for all your hard work! Deciding the winner of this challenge is going to be very hard!
