Scaling:
Today we have a longer chipper-style workout. Expect the kettlebell swings and knees-to-elbows to play off of each other in an interesting way. Use a kettlebell that allows you to perform each section in 2 sets or less. You should always be able to complete at least 5 knees-to-elbows throughout the workout. Aim to complete each run in 5 minutes or less. Work hard and have fun today.

5 sets for max reps:

8 burpees over rower

Rest 3 minutes between sets.

♂ 50 lb

Post total reps to comments.

Scaling:
This interval workout is about pushing hard for 3 minutes, then maximizing your recovery to maintain your output across all sets. The goal is to finish the row around 2 minutes, with some pushing closer to 1:45 or under. Once the 8 burpees are complete, you should have 45 seconds to 1 minute to accumulate dumbbell snatches.

There are a couple of goals for this workout:

Find the maximum pace on the rower that allows you to get off and get straight to work on the burpees.

Practice fast transitions between movements.

Build capacity toward bigger sets of alternating dumbbell snatches.

Focus on recovery each round. With the 1:1 work-to-rest ratio, aim to maintain your output across all the rounds.

With the forced rest, push hard today and dare to hold on to the dumbbell until you hear the clock!
