3 in a Row!

More fun at the movies-Oly style! This video is a compilation of the past week or two. I just want to say that all of you worked your butts off in these lifts. Olympic Lifting can be complicated especially when you’ve never done them before and most of you haven’t. The trainers at ARCFit strive to make sure you’re dialed in on these movements and that safety comes first. It’s never about who can lift the most weight starting off. Form and technique is paramount!

Rest Day… I’m fairly certain yours truly will be nursing a hangover today after attending yesterday’s Causeway Classic (Go Ags!)

Cheers!

Great turnout last night for Josh’s birthday bash.  Guess who’s not going to be hitting the 9:00 am WOD today (hint:  he’s the guy in the middle).

Our Cougars were out in full force last night as well, leaving men gasping in their wake…
