  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Push Jerk/Press

3 rounds for time of

  • 3 sets of the complex above @ 65% of weight reached above
  • Row 250m

Results: For the Heavy Complex – 145lbs. (same as last time). For the Metcon used 95lbs – 10:02 ( 9:56 last time running ). Keep each set of the complex unbroken to avoid the extra clean that you’ll need after putting the bar down.
