TGIF, that is Thank Goodness It's Friday. For technique today work on your ring dips. Work on increasing your range of motion. Also try some different timing, for example, take 4 seconds in your descent and then immediately press out. Or if you are feeling really brave you can try the Bulgarian dips shown in this video. Notice the turn out at the top and the width of the dip.



Time for our weekly partner workout. We are going to do another couplet ladder workout. So, here are the rules. One partner is working while the other is resting, the first partner must complete both movements (dependent on the set) before their partner can begin.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Power cleans (ladies 85 lbs/gentlemen 135 lbs)
Ring dips

Scale the weight as necessary and if you do not have your own ring dips use either the static dip bars or a band. Don't be fooled by this workout, it is a bit of a doozie.

2. Hi Gang,
   
   Last night after the 8 pm class, several people were having fun goofing around with hand stands.
   
   Found this cool video for some fun inspiration.

3. All,
   
   I've started an experiment today, and I invite you all to join. The experiment: a Tabata-a-day.
   
   I think many of us suspect that tabatas would be an excellent exercise to do daily, but nobody I've ever heard of actually does them daily. And we all know why. They suck, hard. I want to find out if they really are as effective as we suspect, for real. So for the rest of this month, I'm going to suck it up and do a dfferent tabata movement every weekday, in addition to my regular WODs. I'll post my numbers in the daily comment threads, unless anyopne objects to the spam. As I mentioned above, please feel free to join in, and post your tabatas in the threads too.
   
   I kicked it off today with classic Tabata squats. Scored 15.
   
   cheers, doubleA
