Today is a hybrid effort from several training modalities and tough!!
After a warm-up:
Move through the following with a 60 second break between exercises.
Row 500 meters for a record time.
Squat 20 RM weight 20 reps (20 RM is a weight you can squat 20 reps but not 21.)
Pull-up for PR (shoot for personal best)
Deadlift 10 RM weight 10 reps
Dips for PR (shoot for personal best)
Rest 10 minutes
Move through the following with a 2-minute break between exercises.
Row 500 meters match first effort
Squat same weight for twenty reps
Pull-ups for same count as first set
Deadlift same weight for 10 reps
Dips for same count as first set
Rest 10 minutes
Move through the following with a 3-minute break between exercises.
Row 500 meters match first effort
Squat same weight for twenty reps
Pull-ups for same count as first set
Deadlift same weight for 10 reps

The idea today is to strive to match the performance of the first pass on the second and third.
