Feel free to bring adult beverages for some post WOD hydration and/or meet up with everyone at Sheep's Station for the after party.

Feeling nostolgic? Why not check out the FGB4 or FGB3 photo albums?

3 Attempts at max reps
Rest 3 Minutes between attempts

There is a 10 strict push-up "buy-in" to do the dips.  Athletes who cannot perform 10 unbroken push-ups from their toes will perform 3 attempts at max push-ups at an appropriate scale.

or:

Weighted Dip
1-1-1-1-1

Attempt the weighted dips if you've accumulated 25+ total body weight dips during a previous exposure. For example, if you did 15-11-7 reps during each respective work set last week, your total would be 33 and you could go for the weighted dip
