New Equipment!

We can thank HEL athlete Rob Straughn for the construction of some beautiful new 24" box jumps for the Lab today. We took them for a test during this morning's WOD and they make an awesome addition to our arsenal of torture devices.
Never high enough for Craig B and Kevin - these two monkeys had to stack the new boxes on top of a gym mat, and then balance a weight bench on top of the whole junkshow to create a 40" behemoth...

Friday the 15th saw the return of an old HEL favorite: the painstorm. These intense, multi-tasking met-cons(metabolic conditioners) move us beyond the realm of short power-intensity bursts into much longer workouts lasting up to an hour or more. Testing our physical and mental fortitude, stamina and ability to pace ourselves for the long haul, nothing separates the wheat from the chaff like a painstorm!
