Friday 07/01/11

Important! There is no MSCL on Monday (07/04/11) and Tuesday (07/05/11) of next week. Enjoy your time off, rest up, and have a happy 4th of July!

There are a bunch of videos in today's post, including one of this summer's Tabata This workout and another one of last summer's Fight Gone Bad workout. Choose one or two of them and post a comment about them to get a burpee reward in the warm-up. Sam, you get your burpee reward if you do not post a comment.



Fight Gone Bad!
3 rounds AMREAP of:
Wall Ball Shots, 20#/15#
SDHP, 75#/53#
Box Jumps, 24"/18"
Push Press, 75#/53#
Burp-ups

Perform each exercise for precisely one minute, then immediately rotate to the next exercise - the clock does not stop between exercises. After the fifth exercise, a one minute break is taken before beginning the next round. Record reps for each exercise and add for your total score. It does not matter which station you start at, so we'll have several people going at once.


In this first video, U.S. Olympic weightlifter Natalie Burgener cleans and jerks 118 kg (260 lbs). Natalie competes in the 63 kg weight class (139 lbs and under). The second video covers her lifts (snatch and clean and jerk) from the 2010 World Championships.






Weightlifter, powerlifter, and strongman Mikhail "Misha" Koklyaev squats and then split jerks two guys. Why? Because it's cool.
