Ok so some seriously EPIC efforts have gone down today and we still have a few hours to go - so I'll post a full wrap up later tonight.
In the meantime, let's check the menu for tomorrow.
'Elizabeth'
21-15-9
Squat Cleans (62.5kg/42.5kg)
Ring Dips
Why these workouts? Is it just because they know how to lay on the hurt..big time?
Yes and no - the beauty is in the movements. Take 'Elizabeth' - we are combining a weightlifting movement with a calisthenic one. For some people squat cleans at 62.5kg/42.5kg may not be that horrendous - but these people tend to be larger powerful folks - enter the ring dips where the light weights come back with avengence and power oly lifters have the joy of moving their entire bodyweight through a gymnastic movement.
So is this a WOD for the middleweights? - probably not, they tend to get crushed at both ends....this is a WOD for finding your weakness, putting a huge spotlight on it and smacking you in the face with it.
This is a WOD for the generalist with solid technique and efficient movement. Work your weaknesses - they are waiting for you :)
