Do you ever get the feeling that the pull-up bar is lonely? Well, Bill secretly communicates with the pull-up bar, and it said it was feeling neglected. As we don't want to hurt the pull-up bar's feelings, the programming this week has us hanging on the pull-up bar a lot. A LOT.
The strength work yesterday was hang power snatch 3-3-3-1-1-1. Garth, Craig T., Sam, Daniel, Hero Mike, Kris, Ryan Z., Ginny, Kristen and Bethy all got to ride the PR train yesterday. Congratulations! In fact, the ENTIRE 4PM class set PR's on their snatches. I think it was the magic of having the door open!
I know there are some mixed feelings about Angie. Yes, again, this workout is so evil its name has to be italicized. At some point, I might not even refer to it by its name, like in Harry Potter....
I DIGRESS.
The comments from everyone were SO FUNNY. Here are a few things I heard:
"my abs are so swollen my pants don't fit right!"
"my wife just walks around the house going OUCH."
"I think I need new hands."
The abs comment was my favorite of the day.
Our metcon yesterday was:
50-40-30-20-10 of Double unders
25-20-15-10-5 of Toes to Bar
You would rotate back and forth between double unders and toes to bar until you have worked your way through the whole series. Ryan Z CRUSHED this workout! He had this awesome kipping motion on his toes to bar which allowed him to go lightning fast. Great job!

Thanks Jennie, just to let you know my pants fit really loose today. I had to tighten up my belt. I just had the post ANGIE bloating syndrome.
