4/5/12 "Lynne"

-Written by KC

Bench Press

We performed the Wendler 5/3/1 series of week 1 Back Squats today, along with "Lynne" a couplet WOD consisting of Bodyweight Bench Press for max reps and Pull Ups for max reps. It was kind of nice to work entirely on strength today, a much needed variation to our workouts.

Right: Brad performs an amazing 26 reps. at bodyweight load right off the bat.

Below: Sandra works on her presses from the floor and looks strong! Notice in the pictures below our children playing just outside the gym, this is one of the most special parts of our box. Our kids growing up in this lifestyle makes for a healthy childhood and active lifestyle. They keep the love in our box!
