IMG_0032”And it’s the chance — to find out what I could [really] do… No, I don’t like work. I’d much rather laze about and think of all the fine things that could be done.
I don’t like work, no man truly does. But I like what is in the work… The chance to find yourself.
Your own reality. For yourself, not for others. What no other man can ever know.”

NOTES
Prior to starting this workout, each athlete will need to mark a box on the ground and a foot line on the wall for the handstand push-ups (details in Movement Standards section). They will also need to mark the required height on the wall or wall-ball target. This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 55 deadlifts, then move to the designated target to complete 55 wall-ball shots, then to the rower to pull 55 calories, then to the wall for handstand push-ups. If 55 handstand push-ups are completed, the athlete will move back to the barbell to begin another round.

The athlete’s score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 13-minute time cap.

TIEBREAK
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. Upon completion of 55 reps of each exercise, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in which you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last full set on any of the exercises. In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. If you are using a countdown timer, you must convert to elapsed time before reporting your score. For this reason, it is recommended you set your clock to count up.
