Deadlifts & Kettlebell Swings...

10 rounds of:
5 deadlifts (165)
5 Russian Kettlebell Swings (53)

NOT for time. First DLs in a while. Taking it slow as I build up strength. 

Front Lever...

If you want strong lats and phenomenal core strength, then the front lever is an exercise for you. It’s not just about holding your body out parallel to the ground, but also about using your lats to lock yourself into place. In the front lever the lats are at a much more disadvantageous position than in the back lever, making it significantly harder". - Breaking Muscle

"Scooter"...

First Lieutenant Scott Francis Milley was killed in the line of duty in the Baraki Barak district of Afghanistan on November 30th, 2010 at the age of 23. "Scooter” grew up in Sudbury excelling in both academics and athletics at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. Every bit as excellent a person as he was a soldier and athlete, the memory of his unrelenting positivity and charisma continues to impact those who knew him. He is survived by his loving parents, Steven and Janice, and by his brother Steve and sister Ashley.
