Every third Saturday will be "PainStorm" Saturday at 8:00am. What is it? Well, it will be different each month, but be assured that the workout will be extremely challenging, both mentally and physically. It's a proceed at your own risk, yes it's probably too extreme workout that's not for the faint of heart, but for those that want to push their own limits in a somewhat controlled setting.
TODAY - Get 3/4 of your bodyweight on a barbell and get it from the floor to locked out overhead 100 times. There is no time limit. Scale to less than 3/4 bodyweight only if truly necessary (and it will be for some).
I'd like to congratulate the eight brave souls who COMPLETED the Painstorm today. All did so in less than 50 minutes with only one sprained finger!
