Every 2 minutes for 12 minutes

  • 3 x Front Squats @ 75%
  • 1 x Front Squats @ 85%
  • 5 x Front Squats @ 75%

  • 1 x Front Squats @ 95%

AMRAP in 20 minutes

  • 5 x Power Clean @ 95lbs
  • 5 x Push Press
  • 5 x Burpees

Results: Fronts Squats 155-175-195-175-195-210lbs. Metcon – 14 rounds plus 8 reps. Now I know why I don’t do this workout often… really brutal.

Compare to past results here. Last time got in exactly 15 rounds with no strength component so only dropped 7 reps which isn’t bad. Also notice that the first time I did this wod in 2014, I did 5 rounds of 5 x Front Squats @ 40kg, now am up to 80kg. Not bad.
