Coaching Tips: Consider using a challenging weight for the front squats because of the minute rest, but be ready to drop the load during one of the rests if needed. Keep the back flat on the kb swings, and do not push off the leg with the other hand. Alternate hands as desired. Move fast on the bear crawls, but rest often if needed. It is better to move fast than stay in the crawl position moving slowly. Start the wall balls with conservative sets so you don’t blow your legs up for the later rounds!
Optional ‘Cash Out’: none
