We will be doing some testing this week. 1-rep max clean and jerk is on Tuesday and a re-test on Friday of the clean and jerk / burpee WOD we did back in the first week of April. Use the same weight on that one even if you feel like you can go heavier so you can have an good comparison.
Also, you will start seeing some bonus or accessory work planned. You are not required to do these (not that you are “required” to do any of this), it is just some extra programming for those looking to do some accessory work. Please note that where it says “non-coached”, it is meant to be done on your own time (before or after class). The Hall of Gains is open for business so lets make use of it!
