A. C&J heavy single; 85% of that 3×1

B. Back Squat 3×3 or 3×5 (increase by 5#)
The idea here is to increase either your 3RM or your 5RM. If you, for example, last did 225 for 3 sets of 5, but you aren’t feeling ready to do 230 for 3 sets of 5, do 230 for 3 sets of 3.

C. Tabata Pushups

D. Accumulate 75 seconds in L-hang. Begin every set with a straight-leg lift to L.

SnatchSnatch – heavy single; 85% of that x 1 x 3
Clean & jerk – heavy single; 85% of that 1 x 3

Unlimited: Weighted sit-ups – 3 x 10
3/week: 3:00 row for meters OR Thruster challenge

You’re going to need to build up to your heavy singles at a moderate to fast pace to finish this workout within the hour.

7 days left to register a score for the thruster challenge. (yeah, I said that yesterday…. but this time for real!) Maybe we will do burpees throughout July in honour of all those who choose not to put up a thruster challenge score :)

Post the time you plan on training to comments.
