Women use 45-75-95-115-135-155 lb.

NOTES
This workout begins with the athlete standing under the pull-up bar. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will have 8 minutes to perform 3 rounds of 6 chest-to-bar pull-ups and 6 squat snatches, AND 3 rounds of 7 chest-to-bar pull-ups and 5 squat snatches. If all 72 repetitions are not completed within 8 minutes, the athlete’s workout is over, and they will stop and record their score.

If all 72 repetitions are completed within the 8-minute window, the athlete will earn an additional 4 minutes to continue with the couplet. If all 108 reps (36 from rounds 1-3, 36 from rounds 4-6 and 36 from rounds 7-9) are completed by the 12-minute mark, the time will once again be extended by 4 minutes. Throughout the workout, after every 3 complete rounds, the reps of the pull-up will increase, the reps of the snatch will decrease, and the barbell will get heavier. Once a 3-round section is completed, the athlete may immediately begin their next section. They do not need to wait for the 4-minute window to expire before moving on to the next section. This pattern will continue for up to 24 minutes, as long as 3 rounds of the couplet are completed before each cutoff.

This workout is over when the athlete completes all the required work prior to 24 minutes or fails to complete all the repetitions within the cutoff time for a section. The athlete’s score is their time if they complete the workout or the number of repetitions completed up to their cutoff time.

In this workout, another person may assist the athlete in changing the plates on the barbell during the workout, or multiple barbells may be used.

TIEBREAK
If all 216 reps are completed prior to the 24-minute time cap, your score will be your total time and there will be no tiebreaker. However, if you are not able to complete the entire workout in the allotted time, a tiebreaker will be factored into your final score. During the workout, be sure to note your time at the end of each 3-round section. When you submit your score, there will be a space for your final rep count and an additional field for you to enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last full 3-round section. 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.

Then, 2 rounds of:
50-ft. x Weighted Walking Lunge

Etc., alternating between Toes-to-bars and Bar Muscle-ups every 2 rounds.

VARIATIONS
Rx’d: (Ages 16-54)
Men use 50-lb. dumbbells, Women use 35-lb. dumbbells
Scaled: (Ages 16-54)
Men use 35-lb. dumbbells, perform hanging knee-raises / chin-over-bar pull-ups, Women use 20-lb. dumbbells, perform hanging knee-raises / chin-over-bar pull-ups

Men use 20-lb. dumbbells, perform sit-ups / jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups Women use 10-lb. dumbbells, perform sit-ups / jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups

NOTES
Prior to starting this workout, each athlete will need to mark a starting point on the floor, measure out 25 feet and make another mark on the floor at the turnaround point. Additionally, intermediate marks must be made at every 5-foot interval, each of which represents 1 rep of the lunge. This workout begins with the dumbbells resting on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will lift the dumbbells to the shoulders and lunge forward with them for 25 feet, turn around and lunge back 25 feet. They then will perform 16 toes-to-bars and will finish the round with 8 dumbbell power cleans. Round 2 will be performed in the same fashion. For rounds 3 and 4, 16 bar muscle-ups will be performed in place of the toes-to-bars. Rounds 5 and 6 will go back to toes-to-bars, rounds 7 and 8 to bar muscle-ups, etc.

The athlete’s score will be the total number of repetitions completed before the 12-minute time cap.

TIEBREAK
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each round (after the eighth power clean), 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 round. 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.
