Graduation This Friday

Ab-mats provide a fuller range-of-motion and therefore work the entire abdominal muscle group. We believe the that full range-of-motion is healthy range-of-motion.

Tomorrow's WOD is...

Depending on what class you attend you might need different shoes, a decent top, and maybe pants?

• Being upside down?
• Wrist strength?
• Locking in the midline?
• Using only your shoulders?
