12/10 Calorie Row
8 Toes to Bar
4 Squat Clean (155/105)

Workout Brief

Feel: Triple Threat / Pace: Grind

The objective today is to hold onto uncomfortable sets for the entirety of the workout. It doesn’t matter how you split it up, just be consistent across all eight rounds. As you get close to the end, increase your intensity and finish hard. You’ll be able to sustain your effort on the Barbell and rig the steadier and more efficiently you move on the Rower.

Workout: For Time – 12 Minute Cap

20-15-10-5

Workout Brief

Feel: Reach / Pace: Full Send

Today’s strength is about going heavy. Go slow on each dip and drive hard for every push press – go for a PR! In the workout, move as quickly as you can. Step downs on the jump overs are recommended for safety, but push yourself to maintain an uncomfortable pace.

Workout: 

4 Rounds – 5 Minutes Each
400m Run
40 American Kettlebell Swing (1.5/1)
Max Rep Chest to Bar Pull Ups
Rest 1:00 between rounds

Workout Brief

Feel: Triple Threat / Pace: Grind

This partner workout will require your team to move quickly because it’s on a clock. Give yourself as much time for the Chest to Bar Pull Ups as you can, but slow down your tempo once you get there so you can maintain a similar number every round.

-Into-

2 Rounds
5-10 Strict Handstand Push Up
Max Rep Strict Push Up

Workout Brief

Feel: Reach/Muscle / Pace: Grind

The goal is to build up to a heavy single for the day on your Snatch. The Burpees and building weight should be completed with that in mind. Every round should take about :45-1:00 to complete, with time to change your plates and get a couple of breaths in. Move slow and steady on the Burpees and reset between each Snatch rep so you can prepare for the heavy. It is better to go regular burpees or bar facing up downs if that will set you up for better success on the Snatches.

Workout Brief

Feel: Muscle / Pace: Gas

With the Lunge Cashout at the end, we need to be moving around a 75-80% intensity the entire time so we have gas left in the tank to push the Lunges. Give yourself 3-4 attempts at the Double Unders and pick a handstand push up option that doesn’t take more than 2-3 sets to complete.
