EVANS AVENUE PARKING REMINDER During Construction on Connecticut Street (click for details).

Open workout "18.4" was released on Thursday evening, and the deadlift and handstand push-up predictions were right... but I'm not sure many saw the handstand walking coming! It will be a very small percentage of folks who can get to the handstand walk, but it is a great way to create separation at the top level (along with the heavier deadlift weights). For the rest of us this will be a classic test of pull/push (lower body/upper body), and folks at Arena Ready are fairly familiar with our old friend "Diane." You're also familiar with the fact that we don't allow crappy deadlifts or HSPU attempts that look like you're a dying fish - so I'll preface tomorrow's "strategy & thoughts" post with that sentiment. Your lumbar and cervical spines are important to us (and obviously to you too).

If you're going to be completing the workout this weekend at Arena Ready (either during the fun craziness of our Open Heats during all Saturday classes, or during Sunday Open Gym) then please start by reviewing the workout details here and watching the standards video below (which covers only the Rx workout, and not the scaled version) - thanks!

Jenny's amazing images from 18.3 are also ready for your viewing - so check them out here and be sure to thank her for her continued awesome work in documenting our people and our community. Thank you, Jenny!
