WOD – Mon, May 11

Intent

Today is the day. We’ve benched and pressed, we’ve done it under fatigue and when fresh. Let’s see how it has improved over the last 6 weeks! Note your previous best bench press and aim to bury it today! While the emphasis of this block wasn’t specifically on pulling, there is a balance about the shoulder girdle that hopefully shows itself in “Lynne-ish” today and highlights your gains in both planes of movement.
