3 rounds

  • 5 x Bench Press @ Bodyweight
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 5 x Weighted Pullups @ 30lbs
  • Rest 90 seconds

Then 5 rounds for time

  • Run 400m
  • 7 x Sandbag Clean Burpee Box Over @ 70lbs/30kg

For the Clean, Burpee, Box Over, start with a Sandbag Clean, throw the Sandbag over the Box, do a Burpee then step/climb Box over the Box, repeat from the other side. This was the “Madison Triple” 2017 Games Event.

Results: Metcon 17:22. I knew it seemed too easy… I forgot the Burpee. I also used a normal 24inch/60cm box (not some hay bales) so the box step over was easier than in the games. Hmmm, maybe I should read my own instructions next time.
