Coaching Tips: Hustle between the movements in the first rounds.  After the first few rounds, start breaking up the reps so you can rest in the middle of the sets (versus resting between movements). Use a ton of hip drive to get the bar overhead to save the shoulders. Consider small sets on the pull ups so you don’t shred your hands, and so you can be more consistent in the later rounds.

Optional ‘Cash Out’: 100m farmer carry, 15 wall ball, 4 minutes.
