*please work out your numbers prior to coming in to save time.

What does “heavy but not maximal” mean? This means that the lift will require significant effort to succeed but is not so heavy that you know before you even lift the bar that you are going to have to sacrifice form to get the lift. Remember, only good lifts contribute positively to your training and the bad ones are teaching you the wrong movement pattern, to be slow, are more likely to cause injury etc. Considering you need to do thousands of good lifts to make progress as a lifter, can you really afford to be doing bad ones?

AMRAP in 30 minutes of:
Run 400m

42 KB swings 24/16kg

Men will use a 40kg barbell. Women will use 30kg. Each athlete must do four burpees at the beginning of every minute before moving on to the barbell work. The athlete is allowed to move to the next barbell skill once an he/she has completed all 20 reps. If the minute clock beeps during a repetition the athlete will complete their rep and then start their four burpees. There is a 15 min cap.

DB Shoulder Press 8-10 reps

Superman Raises 10 reps (1 sec. pause at top)

*partner up with a spotter to achieve at least 5 reps/round if you have less than 5 chin-ups.
*accumulate a minimum of 20 seconds in the L position per round if your max effort is less than 20 sec.

Best of luck to Garr who has headed off to Europe for five weeks. Have fun.
