Oly Lessons at the Kibbutz


We've spent the last two nights at a really lovely hotel at a Kibbutz. To my surprise, they had a gym AND an oly bar with a few plates! It looked like the kit hadn’t been used since the British Mandate, so I took it upon myself to change that. After warming up with some bench, I attracted an interesting crowd of a few men from the kibbutz. They asked me in a mix of hebrew and english what the hell I was doing. So I answered them by teaching them how to hang clean. Highly successful. They all think now that they’ll be watching me on TV in the olympics. I didn’t try that hard to correct them.
Hotel WOD:
Bench practice
Clean practice
5 rds: 
5 hang cleans at 40kg
