It’s called a painstorm for a reason. The reason is because it’s a storm of pain. One could even go so far as to say that painstorm is a portmentau of the words pain and storm, and one would not be incorrect. You’ve got the morning to get loose people – show up ready to breather fire. For newbies, we will have you team up and do 10 rounds of the “Painstorm”

This one might get a little dicey because two barbells are needed. We need to make sure everyone picks a weight and hits it quick. The OHS will have to be a weight that can be cleaned and jerked overhead for as many sets as it takes you to complete. Those of you doing this AS R’XD have the option to rack, which will make it less taxing. My personal feeling is everyone should go rack-less. Lets see if the other Coaches agree. Your comments are welcome!
Welcome Tamarah! Nice work on your first WOD.
Congrats to Dollie and Billie who hit PR’s tonight on the press. Dollie maxed out at 65lb during her total 2 weeks ago, and tonight she got 70lb x 2 reps. Billie maxed out on 70lb during her total and hit 80lb x 3 reps. Awesome job ladies.
Those of you hitting the WOD in the evening may have another WOD to chose from depending on if our celebrity coach has anything up his sleeve. We are very excited to have Jon Gilson help coach all of you. Come ready to soak up the knowledge!
