Athlete Notes:
The conditioning is fast and furious today! If you want some motivation prior to Grettel then rewatch Event 3 of the Mid Atlantic Qualifier. Stay unbroken on your clean and jerks and stay low as you complete your bar facing burpees. Follow the barbell down after your 3rd rep so you can settle it on the floor and go right into your burpees – I don’t want to see people chasing their barbell all over the garage gym floor! This is a gut check workout and one that has you starting at 90% effort. Trust your training and lay it all out on the table with this one!
