Hey Old Cityzens!
Y’know.. I was gonna start this week off with another joke.. this one about perforated paper.. but I changed my mind, because it’s terrible.
*crickets… *
I jumped the gun last week with my post about ‘sweater weather’, and it looks like that’s over, and we’re back to 2nd summer. Hopefully if I include pictures of leaves and gourds in the next few weeks of posts we’ll finally be able to experience PSL and everything apple season. *fingers crossed!*

Tuesday – Tempo bench press – no sternum bouncing! Workout includes some more unilateral work (DB step overs) and a twist on the Devil’s Press.
Wednesday – Long workout with all the challenges – carries, wall walks, and pistols! Oh my!!
Thursday – Double it up with some 3 position cleans and pause push jerks. Let’s work on that hip extension!
Friday – Start it off with some toes to bar skill work and end it with “Annie”
Saturday – Long workout with lots of hip extension from SDLHP, BJ, and WB. Know you acronyms yet? Take a guess!
Sunday – Rest Day! Relax, and we’ll see you back in the gym tomorrow!
Let’s have another great week!
