You’re Always Asking What It’s All About Don’t Listen To My Replies

This week: We are going to be easing back into our Monday Squat, Wednesday Press, Friday Pull routine.  We are going to try a couple of different wrinkles this week with the strength movements and some extra choices–this is an exploratory week to see if multiple types of a parent movement can work in the same class.  Conditioning wise, we are going to expand upon our power clean/kb swing emom workout and play with the bell size a bit; I’m also going to keep putting the off-day running/squat/pushup workout until someone comes in and does it!  I nominate Tim.
