Weekly homework

I know most of you were out late celebrating Jason's and Garret's amazing performance at this years CrossFit Games, so I took it easy on everyone today...So tomorrow you get a double dose! 

Tuesday
Max unbroken kettlebell Turkish get ups (24/16)
Rules are you must switch hands each time, can't rest the kettlebell on your body. Session ends when you can't continue!
PLUS
(after a 10 minute break)
Tabata KB swings (24/16)
Go American style (overhead), but don't over arch your back to do so! If you don't have the shoulder flexibility to go directly overhead, go Russian style (eye level). C.J. Martin of Invictus had a great article on this - http://www.crossfitinvictus.com/must-read-posts/the-great-kettlebell-swing-debate/
Wednesday
MANDATORY CLASS
We will then do two tests:
max vertical jump (a good test of hip explosive power)
max strict press
Thursday
Mobility day!
Spend 2 minutes on each of the following stretches (that's 2 minutes each side!):
-straight leg calf
-bent knee calf
-"couch stretch"
-good morning (make sure you have a slight bend in your knee!)
- mountain climber
Then spend 10 minutes rolling out your IT band and quads
Saturday
Surprise day!
