Coaching Tips: The goal here is to go with as few sets as possible, and to run fast before each rest. 10 rounds will get challenging at round 4 to 7, but hang in there. Keep the elbows up on the rack part of the thrusters and remember that a squat clean counts as the beginning of a ‘rep’. Butterfly pull ups are acceptable (as usual when it says ‘kipping’). If you do not ‘sprint’ the 100m runs, your time will suffer.

Optional ‘Cash Out’: none
