Workout: For Time – 16 Minute Cap

7 Rounds
3 Clean and Jerk (185/135)
25 Double Under
3 Bar Facing Burpee
25 Double Under

Workout Brief

Feel: Triple Threat / Pace: Grind

In the strength, if you struggle with consitency, find the weight that challenges your technique but still allows you to move well, then accumulate volume at that weight to practice the movement. The weight in the workout should be something that you can maintain moderate to quick singles for the entire time. Go steady on the Burpees so you can keep moving. This workout is about mastering the transitions and keeping things moving until all seven rounds are complete.

Workout: For Time – 15 Minute Cap

30 Front Squat (115/75)

Decrease Front Squats by 10 Reps each round.

Workout Brief

Feel: Triple Threat / Pace: Gas

In the strength, complete one set at each number of reps. Plan your weight jumps accordingly. This workout is on the line between a Gas and Full Send. Save some energy by dialing it back on the round of 30, then push yourself to go hard in the final two rounds of the workout.

Workout Brief

Feel: Muscle / Pace: Gas

Pacing in the workout today is very important. Move slow and steady on the Sit Ups and Ball Slams so you can keep the Deadlifts unbroken. Utilize all the time you need in the rest and the beginning of the final 10:00 clock to go HEAVY in the second part. If you’re feeling good, go for a PR.
