There are a couple of weightlifting competitions coming up over the next few months. If anyone is interested in competing, let me know so we can start tailoring your programming accordingly! The competitions are: 

- May 16-17: Indiana State Championships in Indianapolis, IN

- June 13-14: CANUSA JekyllHYDE Summer Open in Ypsilanti, MI

- June 20: Sayre Park Chicago Summer Open in Chicago, IL


Warmup: (watch this video of a super strong woman pushing some serious weight. Pay especially close attention to her jerk form, how much she pushes that weight off of her shoulders, popping her head through, the lack of flex in her elbows/shoulders after she has the weight overhead, etc.)

3x5 each leg - split/lunge/lunge/recover

3x5 each leg - jerk + 3 press in split

3x5 each leg - dip/dip/jerk


A) Jerk - 15min to work to pretty heavy single

B) OHS - 5RM (try to beat weight from 3/4)

C) (Modified) Death by American KB swings (75/55) - the modification is that we will be going every :30 instead of every minute on the minute

WADES UNIFORM

30 Days For Wade

Wade's Army is excited to announce a Spring campaign, 30 Days For Wade! This campaign is focused 100% on the financial support of families in the fight against neuroblastoma. While exciting breakthroughs are being made on the neuroblastoma research front, most families begin the fight with the current standard treatment. Treatment is costly, and combining this burden with the emotional toll of a child's fight with cancer is often too much for a family to fathom.

For this campaign a limited edition t-shirt design is now available in our new online store! Orders can be placed on this site and the shirts will be shipped to your door step! With the hopes to KAPOW this pediatric cancer, we have also expanded to offering youth size t-shirts so the entire family may represent Wade and the fight against neuroblastoma.
