Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Complete both 800-meter runs in 5 minutes or less. However, don't crush yourself on the first run because you need to come back to the kettlebell and get right to work. The loading of the kettlebell should allow for 15-plus reps at a time. As for the lunges, keep moving and try to go unbroken. Get moving on your final run. Your legs will feel a little like Jell-O, but once you start moving, they’ll remember what to do.

Scaling:

Today's workout is a classic heavy day and an opportunity to move a little slower relative to the surrounding days. You should aim to lift a heavy load relative to your capacity. If you know your best deadlift single, start your first set of 5 at 70-75% or higher and try to add load to as many of the sets as possible.

3 rounds for time:

15 hang power snatches

15 pull-ups

♀ 65 lb

♂ 95 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today's workout is short, intense, and grippy. The load of the barbell should be relatively light and allow you to hang on to potentially go unbroken in the first set. Try not to break any set more than once if needed. The pull-ups should feel more challenging than normal because of the pull in the snatches. Aim to complete the pull-ups in no more than 2 sets each round. This workout should be fast. Choose options that allow you to do more moving and less hook-gripping your shorts.

Back squat

Post load to comments.

Scaling:

Build throughout the 8 sets, starting with something moderately heavy and finishing with a very heavy single. Remember that “heavy” is relative to each athlete. A heavy load requires all your focus and effort.

– A heavy set of 10 reps should be around 50-60%+.

– A heavy set of 7 reps should be around 60-70%.

– A heavy set of 4 reps should be around 70-80%.

– A heavy single for today should be 80%+.

Burpee box jump-overs

Post total rounds and reps to comments.

Scaling:

This simple workout is a physical and mental grind. Find a pace that feels challenging but still manageable for the duration of the workout. Use a step or jump to get up off the ground AND over the box; getting from one side to the next and on the ground counts as an Rx'd rep. As long as you can maintain an average of 5 reps per minute, keep the Rx'd box height.

Scaling:

Approach the first run a little differently than the second. Hit the first run hard, but leave enough in the tank to get right to work on the middle portion of the workout. Attack the second run with everything you have left. The loading of the barbell should allow you to perform all sets unbroken. Spend no more than :30 performing double-unders.
