Cadets getting after it at Wednesday's strength workout in the 3rd Floor Weight Room of Arvin.  Great job everyone!  Make sure you record your 1 Rep Maxes that you achieved during this workout so you can track your progress over the next several months.

Announcement:  The On-Ramp Beginner's class will meet in the 62 Room at 0530.  The regular class will meet in front of Arvin at 0530.

Recommended Warm-Up:  5-10 minutes of mobility drills and dynamic stretching in front of Arvin.

WOD:  Run to Lee Gate and back with alternating 5 push-ups and 10 air squats every 2 minutes.  Run until the clock hits 2:00, then stop in place and do 5 push-ups as fast as you can without compromising proper form, continue running until the clock hits 4:00, then stop in place and do 10 air squats (full-depth and full extension at the top), continue running until the clock hits 6:00, then 5 push-ups, etc...  The clock will run continuously, so the longer it takes you to do the push-ups and squats, the more rounds you will have to do to get through the run/workout.

Once you return from the run, spend at least 10 minutes doing static stretching to work on flexibility and recover from the intense workouts this week.  If you have a foam roller, spend some of this time rolling out your hamstrings, quads, gastrocnemius, and any other muscle groups that are sore.

29:06, which means 35 push ups and 70 squats - in full disclosure, my last set of squats was terrible.

That was fun. I was trying to catch Louis the whole time, but he was moving. 21:08, which translates to 25 pushups and 25 squats.
