9-27-19 FINAL CHALLENGE WORKOUT #12

For some of you online, these challenge workouts were just a breeze .. for the local tribe, it challenged us to move faster. I loved seeing everyone's posts and I hope you were able to connect with someone new through this challenge. We are all in this together and need to keep motivating each other... even if we never meet in person.

Strength is a medicine, our salvation, a release and for many has "saved" us from the pressures we face within ourselves. We need this.. and staying motivated is the key. That motivation can be as simple as watching someone you can relate to accomplish a goal or it can be a comment you give to another Sister of Iron. Continue to give your motivation freely to others. I promise it will come back to you in when you need it the most!

training notes:
scale this workout as needed for your body and equipment available. Ideally you will want to shoot for 3-4 rounds on each 5 min workout.

toe to bar: use ab straps if your hands can't tolerate the holding the bar.. hands can be sensitive if you've done deadlifts in the last few days. Substitute with another ab movement if needed.

push press: if the technique throws you off, switch this to a regular strict press and lower the weight on the bar

hang power cleans: if you don't have access to a bar, use dumbbells
