Snatch grip deadlift 2-2-2-2-2-2

4×20 banded good mornings NFT
WOD Notes: The deadlifts should be touch and go meaning the bar just barely touches the ground. A re-grip is not allowed between reps.
Today is a day to celebrate the foundation of the gym! Because of you, ICA is in its 2nd year and going strong. I love the days when you suddenly realize the impact you have had on a member’s life without knowing it. You will likely never fully understand the impact you have had on so many and what seems to you an average day helps others feel better both inside and out. You are an inspiration to the nearly 100 people who come in to the gym you built on a regular basis and we appreciate your dedication to all of us. Your strength helps me work harder in the gym and keeps me going in our hectic (but wonderful) life. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect wife and mother of our child. I love you so much.
Happy Birthday Nikki!!!
You are a perfect combination of power and beauty.
