Went on the 4/8/12 min marks as I was loading my own bar.
Made it through 2nd round of burpees in the 225 stage. Waited a minute tried snatching 245. ALMOST hit it.
Than jumped in to part B) at 15 min mark. 14:29

If I was smart I would have scaled this to 135/185/205/225. This week was tough!

Ideally this should be done with multiple bars. We had those who switched weights go at 4/8/12/16. Our bad, we should have specified!

First round was all I got through, then I got 1 round of all the rest, when the clock hit the time cap i changed my plates and moved on. Burpees were a game changer for me. Would rather see pullups
Then 13:40 on the next

Of course you preferred pull-ups! They’re no where near as bad on your breathing! 🙂

Session 1: 3 x 1200m Runs *i need to retest my mile time and should have done it when it was programmed in. Going “by feel: and an estimate of around 6 min. 4:49/4:39/4:38- effort felt sustainable for another lap for sure Tried jumping into the conditioning, but i am dealing with some undiagnosed fatigue especially in the morning. This is so frustrating when you want to train and be productive the rest of the day. Fortunately its Saturday, so i went home to eat and take a 15-20 min power nap. I came back in feeling much better. Session… Read more »

Awesome! We are excited to guide you along the way.

In terms of your fatigue. It may be an idea to get some blood panels done then a supplement protocol to help. We use wellnessfx for blood panels and Thorne for supplement protocol.

A. Got 5 snatches @ 225 exactly at 10:00 mark. (3 reps short of finishing that round) Rested for about a minute then continued until 15:00 mark and got 2 snatches at 245. Wanted to hit that weight under fatigue and felt damn good. No misses. Burpees took a lot more out of my that I thought

B. 13:03

Wasn’t feeling too hot or motivated but I need this kind of work.
So I just did it.
Finished the 225# bar at around 17:00 and then stopped. And came back and did the 245# bar w/ Burpees. No misses.
Just kinda messing around today. Trying to mentally feel good leading into next week
Also changed my own plates

A) wanted to see if I could get any at 225 during a workout, so treated this more like a 14 minute amrap. Finished the 185 bar around the 8 minute mark (changed my own weights), and ended up with 3 reps at 225 at the 14:00 mark. Came in with a 220 PR, so pretty good day overall.
B) 11:38
Did the running endurance on the air runner – 4:59/4:56/4:53
