I'm glad to hear so many of you are going to participate in the Olympic Lifting competition on 12/12! It's going to be a lot of fun! In order to better prepare for the event, we worked on some snatches as our strength work.
Once everyone's shoulders were good and sore, we went through this little metcon:
5 rounds for time:
20 wall ball (20/14lb)
20 overhead walking lunges (15/10kg)
Bill demonstrated what an overhead walking lunge was for all of us, and I was glad he clarified. He took a 15kg plate, and put it over head without fully locking his elbows and said, "THIS is not an overhead walking lunge!" He then fully locked his arms and said, "THIS is an overhead walking lunge!" It reminded me of that scene from Crocodile Dundee..."That's not a knife....THIS is a knife!"

"That's not a knife, that's a spoon!"
"Alright, alright, you win...I see you've played knifey-spooney before."
