Rest as needed

C.
Complete as many reps possible in 4 minutes of:

10 Burpees Over Sandbag
Max Sandbag Cleans (150/100lbs over the shoulder) in the remaining time.

Rest 2 minutes and repeat for a total of FIVE sets.

*If you do not have a sled then perform a 15/12 Calorie Echo/Assault Bike Sprint.
**If you do not have sandbag then perform double kettlebell hang cleans.

D.
Four sets of:
Reverse Sled Drag x 60-90 seconds
Wall Sit x 45-60 Seconds
Rest as needed

Athlete Notes:
Push the row, sprint the sled or bike, then hang on to those sandbag cleans. Over the shoulder means no touch and go so you’re going to have to be diligent about turning around, hands on the bag, pull. The row pace should be about what you’d hit your Jackie pace at, so not a full sprint, but still fast enough to give you plenty of time to finish the rest of the work. The sled is light and fast, we want max effort sprint on that, so same goes for the bike if you’re subbing there. Burpees over the sandbag should be consistent, about 3 seconds per rep give or take, and then you’ll have anywhere from 50-75 seconds (again give or take) to put hands on the bag for those cleans. The 2 minute rest should be enough to catch your breath and then replicate the effort. Note where the dropoff occurs, if at all, or if you could have pushed any implement harder.
