The "Wild Thing" Greg Graves desperately tries to avoid setting the bar down mid set and suffering a burpee penalty. Yesterday's WOD was programed with the idea of forcing you to lower the barbell and scaring you into doing more consecutive heavy reps than you normally would. It seemed to have worked wonderfully. Many of us have learned to drop every rep from overhead in order to save energy. The problem is that dumping the bar, chasing it, and setting up all over is slower than just keeping those hands on the bar and ripping off one rep after another. We loaded you all up with weights we were sure you would not be able to hang on to for 5 reps in a row, and for the most part you surprised us and yourselves. When you would have normally dropped the bar, you had to keep going to avoid burpees. Everyone who went a little heavier realized a new level of strength, mentally and physically. Next time we go floor to overhead, you all will be able do so at a faster rate with more weight.
