Monday 10/28/13 and Sign-up for the Barbell Group!

Announcement!
As you know, the Testify Barbell Group (BBG) starts next week on Monday, 11/04/13. Each session runs for 8 weeks and requires a commitment to 2 lifting days per week for that 8-week session - these 2 days may be any combination of classes except for lifting back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday. Thus, the possible training combinations for any given week are as follows:
  • Option 1 - 1st lifting day on Monday
    • A:  Monday and Wednesday
    • B:  Monday and Thursday
    • C:  Monday and Saturday
  • Option 2 - 1st lifting day on Wednesday
    • Wednesday and Saturday
  • Option 3 - 1st lifting day on Thursday
    • Thursday and Saturday
Some other notes:
  • Remember that lifting on Saturday starts at 7:30 a.m. and is by appointment only.  If you wish to lift on Saturday, simply post to any of the corresponding week's posts by 5:00 p.m. on that Friday and you are good to go.
  • The new Wednesday class is BBG training only and starts at 6:45 p.m. like our other weekday classes.  We strongly encourage you to make this class as often as possible if you are joining the BBG - you will receive more individual coaching and attention at this class than at any other.
Sign-up: If you wish to sign up for the BBG (and we hope you do!), please do so by indicating this in the comments section of today's post.  We hope to see a lot of names and a lot of people getting stronger!


Snatch
1st: Build to a heavy double (15 min)

7 Slapping/Clapping Push-ups
14 Box Jumps, 24"/18"
