Notes: ME = Max Effort. UB = Unbroken. Take no more than 15 sec. after the run to pick up the barbell. Once the barbell is in the front rack the set begins. The goal is do do as many reps as possible, each round, without dropping the bar. Once the BB drop below the front rack the set is over. Resting in the front rack or overhead is acceptable, anything or anywhere else is not.

2) 4 rounds for total working time (not including C2B) and total reps of C2B:

50 Double-Unders

Took this from Outlaw Crossfit. Should be a good workout using the resources we currently have in the room.

1X20 Back Squat

Notes: This should be a maximal UNBROKEN set. If you completed all 20 reps last week, add approximately 5% this week. If you were close to completing all 20 reps (15-19), use the same weight. If you weren’t close (10-14), take off 5%.
