Workout notes

Today’s workout is a six round couplet with a moderately heavily barbell movement and a short run.  Use a load that is somewhere in the 60-70% range of your 1RM but a bit higher than what you might use in a metcon where you saw 135/95 as the benchmark.  For most of us the best strategy will be to perform single repetitions in quick succession  so you can push the pace on the run. A split jerk or push jerk would be totally appropriate. The benchmark load is on the heavier side so use this as an opportunity to bump up the weight from what you might normally use in a clean & jerk workout. The workout may look simple but we’re pushing the volume and load with this workout! If you are new to CrossFit consider scaling the workout by cutting the total volume to three or four rounds.
