Ten sets of:
30 seconds of Assault Bike*
30 seconds of Max Rep Push-Ups

*Base the assault bike on feel. If you hit 14.3 hard and got deep into the workout go at 70-75% effort. If you feel good push the pace and record your calories for the bike and reps for push-ups.

Athlete Notes:
If you have never done this one, buckle up. 14.3 is going to challenge your lower back more than just about any other workout, so make sure that you are using proper positioning and control through the entire workout. Do not sacrifice form in training! We understand that in competition, not all reps may be perfect, but this is training, and we are not training to get hurt.

Your pace is largely dependent on your pulling strength and how far you anticipate getting in this workout. No matter how strong you are, remember that small sets are your friends. The crux of this workout is whether you can perform 30 deadlifts at a relatively heavy load after performing 70 lighter deadlifts. Your mindset has to contemplate that this event will not be won or lost in the rounds of 10, 15 and 20. You almost want to be a bit conservative on those rounds. Many athletes get caught up in the idea of big sets, but that may turn into a bad idea quick around the 3rd or 4th barbell. Approach your set of 10 and 15 with almost a calming pace. The set of 20 is where most of you will be intentionally breaking the deadlifts not because of the weight but because of the volume. Drop the barbell, get your shins back on and start your set right away. The set of 25 will require a little more rest between sets of deadlifts, like taking 1-3 calming breaths before picking up the barbell and the set of 30 reps is the meat of the workout. Short, quick sets here. We’d rather see you have short, quick rests versus a big set but then a lot of down time before you can pick up the barbell again. If/when you get to the set of 35 RESPECT THE WEIGHT. Get yourself nice and tight, treating this weight as like it is a much heavier load. Once you pull this weight you’ll be able to assess whether you are going for another rep right away or if you are going to drop and re-organize.

Even though the weights are the main event here, do not forget about the box jumps. Do not rush them, but make sure that you are holding a steady pace and trying to recover your breath. Finally, transition times do matter here so keep a tight set up with your barbell right next to your box.

C.
Two sets for max reps:
60 seconds of Barbell Biceps Curls (20/15 kg)
Rest 2 minutes

D.
Three sets of:
15 Straight Leg Sit Ups
2 Minute Knee Plank
30 Second Side Plank (right side)
30 Second Side Plank (left side)
Rest 2 minutes

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

A.) 175/205/235/255/275
B.) This was before my crossfit time so I’ve never done this workout. But I am happy with how it went.

164 reps, so I got 11 box jumps after the 205# bar. Game time I could definitely get a few reps at the last bar. I did 5s on the first two bars then mixed up 5s and 3s for the last three bars.

10 sets:
87 calories and 120 push ups total
C.) done
