WOD – Tue, May 21

Intent

Heavy, Hard, new PR?! For some, today may be a good day to go after a new Deadlift PR! For others, a heavy single will do, and then let’s keep as much weight on the barbell as possible as we test and develop our strength endurance. Our conditioning today is a staple benchmark that almost tests your mind more than your body. Are you willing to hold onto the kettlebell even when you would rather take a break? If you can hold on and swing it over your head you can be successful. Sometimes you’ve simply got to tell your brain to shut up and let your body do the work.
