Using a broomstick or pvc pipe, practice form on each. If you have access to a barbell and weights, increase weight slowly. If you hit a weight where you cannot complete the Rx reps, go back down to the last doable weight, redo the failed set and complete the remaining sets and reps at that same weight. Post what you did to comments, even if it is just practice.

You are looking for your one rep max effort (1RM). If you feel your back rounding do not increase the weight. Take as long as needed to recover between sets.

Benchmarks are named the way hurricanes are named. They are also referred to as the “girls.” These girls leave you wrecked! The purpose of the benchmark WODs is to gauge your progress. They usually come up weeks to months apart. When they do you want to see how you did against your last time. Hopefully, you crushed it. (This is also why I say to post your times to the comments. It makes it easier to track.)
Sunday 20091115
