#8 Radical Assumptions



Today's challenge was interesting to say the least. I thought that it being our 8th one, it would be cool to play around with the number 8.

Isn't it the number of reps we used to do in our routines while following M&F or other magazines? Whatever may be said, it was indeed a hard one again. I almost hated myself for this one. Almost;-P!

The first amrap really got us warmed up. The second part proved to be a real punishment if it wasn't clear about what we were trying to do.

The Heaving Snatches Balances demanded to be done properly. After all the cleans, push presses, power snatches and overhead squats this was not an easy task. No spitting out reps here!

The double unders proved to be the one thing that really left my hip flexers with nothing left to bank on.

Thank's to Bou(Stefan), Reid and Jean for doing this one with me.

Our scores:
Jean.rx'd 3rds+8 clns/ 1rd +8 pwr snatch and 6ohs. DUs:1:33min
Reid.rx'd 3rds+7 clns/1rd . DUs: 38 seconds
Bou. rx'd 6rds/2rds + 6 pwr snatches. DUs: 48seconds.
rob. rx'd 5rds + 4clns/ 2 rounds. DUs:48seconds.

Brian have fun with this one!
