Then for time, do this modified version of the Team Series 2014 Event 4 Workout:

  • 30 x Calorie Row
  • 30 x Wall Balls (Rx is Burpees)
  • 30 x Hanging Cleans @4.25kg (Rx is 61kg / Scaled is 48kg)

Results:  130kg is a new 1RM for Deadlifts (only 6kg away from 2x body weight!!).  Metcon in 6:04.  The top teams were completing this in around 14-22 minutes which means around 4-5 minutes per person, so not too bad.
