Athlete Notes:
For today’s workout we’ve got two parts headed your way. The first part is going to test your pull and your grit. We want this weight to be a weight that you can move for 5 reps in a row multiple times. When you get to the burpee box jumps find a strategy that works best for you. Bounding is faster but may blow you up sooner than you’d like. Stepping down is slower and safer, but may keep you moving more consistently. Let us know which one work for you!

The second part is just the icing on top. You’re already going to be gassed from the first 5 minute section but we want to see how well you can push after just a short turnaround. Hit the run at a strong pace, then see if you can hang on to the barbell for the snatches. Chip away at the burpees as quickly as you can by not allowing yourself to stare at the floor. Pop over the box and get right back down on the ground. On the way back through it’s time to empty the tank. Hang on to that barbell and then see if you can hit your second run even faster than the first!
