Posted: April 15, 2013 by totactfit01 in Uncategorized

The sign up sheet for the one-day competition to determine the TOTF reps for the Military Games goes down this Sunday at 1500!  Only Military (active duty, guard, or reserve) are eligible, but we would like all the rest of you to come out and cheer, and we would also like some help with judging.  If you are not competing and would like tohelp with judging, email our Gmail account or talk to a coach during class this week.  First person to sign up on the guy’s side was Kyle Gundrum.  I do believe that is an open challenge to the rest of you military guys! 🙂

Last time we did these was 20Feb2013 (click here for a refresher) if you were here, add 5 pounds to weight used back then.

WOD:

“Krieger”

4 Rounds For Time:
-20 Alternating Single Arm Dumbell Hang Clean and Push Press (70/45)

Video courtesy of UVAC Swim.  Hold dumbell to your side, bend at the hip to get in the hang position, pop hips open and finish the clean, then push press the dumbell overhead to finish.  This one is about keeping balancing out power in the body.  One side weaker than the other?  Guess who needs to do more dumbell work on their free time?
