Workout

For time:
5x
12 - Thrusters*
12 - Pull-ups

*Gents use 135 lbs, 115 lbs or 95 lbs. Ladies use 75 lbs, 65 lbs, 45 lbs or 15 lbs. Pick a weight that is a challenge (e.g. if you normally do Fran with 95 lbs or 45 lbs, add some weight so your next Fran will be easier).

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) suggests that friends have an even more important effect on a person's risk of obesity than genes do! Link to the article below:

An excerpt from the articles reads:
The authors observed that when two persons perceived each other as friends, if one friend became obese during a given time interval, the other friend's chances of following suit increased by 171%. Among pairs of adult siblings, if one sibling became obese, the chance that the other would become obese increased by 40%. The results of this study also indicate that obesity is clustered in communities. For example, the risk that the friend of a friend of an obese person would be obese was about 20% higher in the observed network than in a random network; this effect vanished only by the fourth degree of separation.
