This workout is no joke.
32:58 Rx. Protect your hands.

Mike H is correct. I put forth a pretty un-heroic effort at 4 rounds to get to a non-existant meeting and I still ripped my hands. 31:57 (4 rds) 185 and 115.

Thanks for the tip on the power clean and jerk, Andrea. Awesome workout that kicked my butt.

Omg. 42:05 rx. I feel catatonic.

Great bunch at 4:30 to suffer through together.
Thanks for the encouragement and push when I tried to give up (after only 4 rounds- mind you). Awesome job guys!
And I know I’m not supposed to say it but- OUCH my hands are killing me.
