A slight change of pace today, as we mixed things up a little.
Gone was the usual CrossFit warm-up of endless squats, push-up and burpees, and in came “Dodgeball”. And I tell you: these guys and gals meant business today. Sure there were smiles and laughter (and squats, push-ups and burpees), but these were a thin mask over the face of pure competitiveness!
Don't let the smiles fool you...

We followed this up with some work on the snatch balance, aiming to catch the bar in as a deep an overhead squat as possible.
We finished things up with partner WOD called the Big (Friendly) Chipper:
- 25 Burpees*
- 100 Squat cleans
- 40 Push-ups*
- 100 Bar hops
- 40 Sit-ups
- 100 Push-press
- 2x Alleyway run*
In each case only one partner was working at a time while the other provided “encouragement”. Exercises marked with a * were performed with partners tethered together with a rubber band in order to foster team spirit (and not just ‘cos I was in the mood for messing with folk…)
