The Socks made the difference!

At the Gym - Crossfit Nordic at 09:30 on Friday - 15th February.

Started with agility that are staring to get much better -We ran through the set quicker today due to loss of some time but overall felt good for strength and tempo.

Warmup - Shoulders and agility

Lounge Step with Bar over head  - attention to detail and did them much better today as I say du due different and better socks (white tub-socsk instead of the more "slippery" deadlift long socks :-) )

2x10 20 kg
3x10 30 kg

5 Front Squat "w. jump - down position"
10 Front Squats 30 kg for practice and position

Series of 10-8-6-4-2
Pullups strict
