  1. Best to luck to all of the totalers tonight! It sounds like it's been a great cycle, and there should be some big time results! Bounce out of the hole and be a beast tonight!

  3. good luck strength cyclers!

    Early morning class with Jeremy:
    5 rds warm-up 1 + kip swings. Shoulder are mysteriously super tight.
    Box squats (5): 135, 155, 175, 175, 175

  6. Watching the strength cyclers made me wish I was one of them. What a great, supportive group.

    Only my second time doing Box Squats – Margie's cue to really find the hamstrings helped a lot, and driving up out of the hole without rocking forward was quite challenging (and satisfying). Look forward to more of this.

  7. Box squats – First time at these. Used 20" box so was slightly above parallel. Only coaching I could find and trust was a Dave Tate youtube vid. Maybe I was rocking forward a bit. Not sure. Definite hamstring and glute WOD. Think this was right.

  8. Box squats kicked my ass. My adductors are going to hate me tomorrow. Loved it. Sadly, my muscle up wasn't there tonight. 2 steps forward and all.

    Love love love watching the totalers. So inspiring.
