Post reps and weight for the 3+ set to comments.

“18.2 & 18.2a”
Time cap: 12 minutes to complete 18.2 & 18.2a
Part 1:
“18.2”
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 reps for time of:
Dumbbell squats (50/35)
Bar-facing burpees
Part 2:
“18.2a”
Find a 1-rep-max Clean
Notes:
Scaling
- Scaled athletes should complete 18.2 against a 9:00 clock.
- This will ensure they are able to make attempts at a clean & jerk in the remaining time.
- Should there not be enough dumbbells for the class we will implement double reps at a single 32/24kg Kettlebell Goblet Squat OR 2 x 24kg Kettlebells for the same rep load as dumbbells (Plus a bonus 6lbs of tie breaking-bragging rights… allegedly).
Additional Details;
- If the athlete completes all the squats and burpees before the 12-minute cap, he or she will use the remaining time to complete Workout 18.2a, a 1-rep-max clean.
- The clean must be performed with a barbell, and the plates must be secured with collars.
- The athlete may complete as many attempts as he or she likes until the time cap is up but will only receive credit for the heaviest successful lift.
- Plates smaller than 1⁄2 lb. may not be used, and the minimum weight increase will be 1 pound.
Post time (18.2) and weight (18.2a) to comments.
