WOD- Max Effort 2

Saturday, 12/14/13

Work up to a max weight for each movement, using the given repetition maximum assigned.  Do so over the course of 3-5 sets for each exercise.  Once you have used the most amount of weight possible for the prescribed repetitions, you are done that exercise.  Therefore, continue on to the next movement and repeat the process of progressive resistance, ending in a max effort attempt for each one.  The max weight used in each one is what gets logged in the "comments" section below.  FYI, the weight logged needs to be the same for your right and left arm!

1) Turkish Getup - 1RM (1 repetition maximum = max weight moved for 1 repetition)
2) Front Squat - 5RM ( 5 repetition maximum = max weight moved for 5 repetition)
3) Overhead Press - 5RM ( 5 repetition maximum = max weight moved for 5 repetition)

Compare to 7/13/13

Gift Certificates Available

Let's pose an important question:

What better gift is there than the gift of fitness?
If you are having trouble coming up with anything more valuable, that is a good sign you value your own health and well being.  We all can lead much happier lives if we are fit and healthy.  The same is true for your friends and family.
Maybe someone you know is afraid to commit to their health, and perhaps, you can nudge them in the healthy direction.  Consider buying them a gift certificate at Maryland Kettlebells!
Maybe someone you know is already a student at Maryland Kettlebells, but you want to lessen the financial investment for them so that they can take their wife/husband out for a night on the town this month.  Consider buying them a gift certificate at Maryland Kettlebells!
Maybe your son or daughter is finishing their fall sport season, and now is the time to focus on their strength and conditioning.  Maybe you're not sure kettlebell training is right for them, so you want to test the program out for a month before you fully commit to a whole off season of training.  Consider buying them a gift certificate at Maryland Kettlebells!
No matter what the reason, it's always a good time to invest in kettlebell training.  Gift certificates are a meaningful and influential way to show someone you love how valuable our services have been for you.  Share the gift of kettlebell training through the following payment methods at Maryland Kettlebells:
Paypal (quick, easy, with the click of a button)
CC (Visa or MC)
Check (payable to "Maryland Kettlebells")
Cash

Once payment is rendered, you will receive an email with an attachment for you to physically print off for the recipient.
