The husband-and-wife dynamic duo of Mike and Stephanie! Mike hits up intensity day on the squat while Stephanie keeps adding pounds to the bar on her linear progression. As a bonus, their daughter, Abby, took 2nd yesterday at the NE High School State Powerlifting Meet and continues to prepare for a third consecutive year at USA Weightlifting Youth Nationals this summer. Keeping it all in the family! (To emphasize that point, Mike and Stephanie's eldest daughter, Maddie, took 1st place at the state meet back in 2013!) #strongfamily #startingstrength #welookdown @startingstrength

Conditioning
"Nancy"
5 rounds for time of:
400m run
15 OHS, 95#/65#

There is a 20 min cap for this workout. For scaling, choose an OHS weight at which you could get 20-30 reps without setting the bar down (when fresh). We want to keep the intensity level high during this metcon, so that means our OHS reps should be mostly - or better yet, completely - unbroken.


Finale
10 minutes practicing your static handstand
