Saturday - Heavy Singles and some Gymnastic Skills

Today was a bit of a mix. This morning was a gymnastics skills session at BizFit. The focus today was handstands. Some nice efforts, with Jason showing a huge improvement in shoulder strength from last month. Thanks to James from CrossFit Boston for assisting with coaching and spotting. Next weeks skills session is Kettlebells so get ready to get your swing on.

Then it was off to Martins cafe for an amusing brunch of paleo and non paleo meals. Good times and good company, thanks guys.

Donna then headed to Simons Rock to instruct a strength class.

We met back at the gym to complete our heavy single day of our PM program. Neither of us was feeling that great after a busy week.

Snatch - Matt: 130# Donna: 60#
Clean & jerk - Matt: 185# Donna: 80#
Back squat - Matt: 295# Donna: 155#
