Don’t worry, you look good upside down

Strength
5-7 deadlifts
:20 rest
20 unbroken kb swings
3:00 rest

WOD
4 rounds of:
3:00 AMRAP of:
5 handstand push-ups
10 pistols (alternating legs)

I know what you're thinking. "Oh no! handstand push-ups?!" Don't worry guys. You can always scale these. Check out Amie's super good scaled handstand push-ups off a box. See how vertical her torso is? This is what you want to work towards before moving to the next scaling option, which is putting your toes on the box instead of your knees. Yes, this makes it harder, but it will also make you more awesome.

It's that time of year again. The air gets crisp, and we open the door less and less. It's a sad, sad time of year, but it also means our running season is slowly winding down. Out with the old, in with the new! It's rowing season! BOO-YAH! (Nicole is cheering) We're looking ahead and wondering if you guys want extra credit rowing workouts again. We had these on the board last year and had a good chunk of people following them. Shall we take another shot at extra credit rowing?

    Hey now.. just because it dips below 70 that's no reason to jump the gun and start closing the doors... There is still a couple months left before the snow starts to bless us with its presence. 40-60 is perfect workout weather. If your cold it just means your not working out hard enough.
