Hunter and myself have a few workouts we want to do before he leaves back for the U.S of A and 'Amanda' was one of them. Fair to say that this wod is hard! a mixture of upper body strength and heavy technical movements ensures for a taxing workout. It is also fair to say that i never had a chance beating Hunter on this one.. not only did he have full range of motion on the muscle ups (i didn't lock out at the bottom) and heavier weight on the snatches (rx 60kg) than myself, he finished Amanda in almost half the time with 8:40. You better believe I'm gonna work my ass off on these two movements!

Unfortunately, Amanda passed away last year from melanoma. Not only was she a phenominal athlete but an extremely inspiring individual. I have started reading her blog, both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time, i hope it may give you some perspective when you think times are tough and inspire you to reach great heights in your own life because life is too short to take for granted.
