Quick warmup and then we got right to the lifting. Susan wanted to know everytime if she was only doing one rep. Bless her heart. No. Pick it up 5 times. All three new guys jumped in on the WOD and Rocked it. They looked like they knew how to jump some weight up there. It seemed like all the women were struggling. It has been a pretty rough cycle. Alex had some trouble pushing the weight on the first set. After a couple of quick modifications to the set up he rocked on the last 4 sets. I'm pretty sure he was putting about half his body weight overhead.

But the big news of the night is Camilo and Mark. Camilo set a PR by 20# and Mark did by 30#. That is freaking outstanding. Way to go guys.
