Partner tire flips!

Partner tire flips!

Lots of people ask us why we front squat.  Well, for one, it is an amazing midline stabilizer but, two, it is integral to the Olympic clean.  I have seen athletes get underneath big clean pr’s and not be able to stand it up.  Today as you are hitting those heavy sets of 3, picture yourself nailing that pr clean and then standing it up.

You get to choose your metcon today.  The first one many of you will remember from Foundations class.  Give it a shot.  I am sure that you will crush your previous rep total.  There is no scaling the second AMRAP.  So if you can’t clean the weight, stick with the first.  They are both awesome wods!
