Time cap : 35 minutes

Coaches Notes:
We recommend splitting up the movements into smaller increments than you first think with quick transition as this will get pretty grippy if you have to hold on for too long. On the clean, keep that bar close on the way up and down, staying over the bar and driving up through mid foot.

Thrusters (S – 135/95, F – 115/75, L – 95/65)
Burpess Over Bar, lateral

Coaches Notes:
When choosing a level, aim for a weight you can go unbroken with on the Thrusters, objective of this is to be a workout you’re moving the whole time trying to keep at a constant pace. With the burpees try setting a moderate pace. If that slows to a stop, recoup and go again rather than doing them slowly. This will get you used to going at speed rather than settling into a slow paces, thus improving you ability to move fast under fatigue.
