WOD
As many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
8lb Sledgehamer Strikes, 21 left

Sledgehammer strikes must be hard and fast! Love taps don’t count as reps, so harden up and smash that tyre!

“Sometimes killing a fly with a sledge hammer is entirely appropriate. It doesn’t make the fly any more dead, but the rest of the flies sure sit up and take notice.” – Major I. L. Holdridge, USMC, by way of Sgt. Frank C. Ollis, USMC

Good energy from everyone this morning, it was a MINT session.

7 rounds & 35 girl smacks. My little hammer was sort of pink coloured – very impressed with it!
Been feeling a bit lethargic all week, not the best effort today.

The more back squats I did, I found the lower the bar sat as my shoulders got more flexible. This in turn made the height of the rack no longer suitable and didn’t pickup on it until Stef mentioned it towards the end.
WOD: as Rx’d, 6 rnds + 42 strikes + 1 pushup
I was slogging along around the 4th round with the 8lb sledge, a staple had come out of the neck and pricked me, so ditched that and grabbed the first sledge I could find. It was 12lb, so I did about 42 strikes with that, which slowed me down somewhat.
Never sure where to post the Cott work outs?
Thanks for a good morning Steve and Elle! My first beach work out in almost a month – felt good to be back.
