I. Row 2:00
II. 15.2 Workout Review/Warm-up
III. Individual Mobility

“Workout 15.2”
Every 3 minutes for as long as possible complete:

From 0:00-3:00
2 rounds of:
10 x Overhead Squats (95/65)
10 x Chest-to-bar Pull-ups

From 3:00-6:00
2 rounds of:
12 x Overhead Squats (95/65)
12 x Chest-to-bar Pull-ups

From 6:00-9:00
2 rounds of:
14 x Overhead Squats (95/65)
14 x Chest-to-bar Pull-ups

Etc., following same pattern until you fail to complete both rounds

Notes: Each 3-minute section begins from the standing position with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. Using a ball, box or other object to check for proper depth is not allowed. Every rep counts in this workout. You will enter your score as the total number of reps. See the scorecard for assistance in calculating the rep total.

Time Bonus
This workout begins as a standard 3-minute couplet of 2 rounds of 10 overhead squats and 10 chest-to-bar pull-ups (6 of each for scaled versions). If you complete all the reps (2 complete rounds) before the time cap you will rest until the 3 minutes are up before beginning the next segment. In the second segment, minute 3 to minute 6, you will attempt 2 rounds of 12 overhead squats and 12 chest-to-bar pull-ups (8 of each for scaled versions). If you complete all the reps (2 complete rounds) before the time cap you will rest until the 6 minutes are up before beginning the next segment. In the third segment, minute 6 to minute 9, you will attempt 2 rounds of 14 overhead squats and 14 chest-to-bar pull-ups (10 of each for scaled versions). If you complete all the reps (2 complete rounds) before the time cap you will rest until the 9 minutes are up before beginning the next segment. You will continue in this pattern for as long as possible, adding 2 reps to each exercise each round for every 3-minute segment you complete.

Your workout is over whenever you do not complete 2 full rounds of the couplet within the time cap, and your score is the total number of reps you complete.

For example, if you complete the first 2 rounds of 10s (40 reps) in 2:30, you will rest until 3:00 before beginning the rounds of 12s. If you then complete 1 full round of 12s plus an additional 10 overhead squats (34 reps) by minute 6, your workout is over. Your score will be 74 (40 reps from the first segment plus 34 reps from the second segment).

FullSizeRender-2Announcements: March On-Ramp begins Tuesday March 3rd at 6:00pm!

Warm-up Drills
I. Row 2:00
II. 15.1 Workout Review/Warm-up
III. Individual Mobility

“Workout 15.1”
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 9 minutes of:
15 x Toes-to-bars
10 x Deadlifts (115/75lbs)
5 x Snatches (115/75lbs)

“Workout 15.1a”
1-rep-max Clean and Jerk
6-minute time cap

Notes: Perform both workouts on a 15-minute clock, start Workout 15.1a immediately after finishing 15.1. Masters, Scaled, and Scaled Masters variations of the workout will be provided on the whiteboard.

These workouts begin with the athlete standing under their pull-up bar with the barbell loaded to the appropriate weight. After 15 toes-to-bars (sit-ups or hanging knee raises for scaled divisions) are completed the athlete will move to the barbell to perform 10 deadlifts followed by 5 snatches. After the last snatch is completed the athlete will move back to the pull-up bar and start their next round.

Your score for Workout 15.1 will be the total number of repetitions completed.

As soon as the clock reaches 9 minutes and Workout 15.1 is complete, Workout 15.1a will begin with the same running clock. The athlete will have from 9:00 to 15:00 to complete Workout 15.1a.

The same barbell must be used for both 15.1 and 15.1a. The athlete must load their own barbell and may not receive assis- tance. Prior to each lift you must state what weight you are about to attempt. Plates smaller than 1⁄2 lb. may not be used. There is no limit to the number of attempts within the 6-minute time limit.

Your score for Workout 15.1a will be the weight (in pounds) that you successfully clean and jerk.

Special Tiebreak
Your score for Workout 15.1a will be the weight of your heaviest successful clean and jerk. Scores will be recorded in one pound increments. If there is a tie at the exact same weight, lighter athletes will rank above heavier athletes. The body weight posted on your profile will be the weight used to break your tie, divided into 10-lb. classes; e.g. 180-189, 190-199, 200-209, etc.
