I'm going to try make this one - sounds like fun!
Steve is in 4th place going into last WOD of the competition and will need to beat 3rd place holder by 10 places to steal a podium girth.
I had him (Steve) tipped for a top 10 finish, but top 5 going into the final WOD!! What a bloody champion!
Offical results Steve can 4th. Excellent work
That's an awesome photo of an awesome Aussie, I don't know the guy but I'm very proud of him.
Gave tonights WOD a hit @ 12:30 today, lets just say you guys are lucky to be doing it in the cooler afternoon. Much Fun, except for the grip which is still fried after saturday.
Top effort by Steve!!!
Have fun with this one guys. This is a "sometime in the future" work out for me.
This was a very challenging workout but I reckon it's a keeper!
The Squat Snatch's thoroughly destroyed me though...
I think your right Nathan, this one will come back again. MOre snatch work to come in the coming weeks
