Get A Grip

This workout is going to be at the Calvin High School track at 0830 hrs. Bring a friend.




For time w/a partner:

Teams of two must complete a total of 100 repetitions of the following complex:

* Deadlift
* Hang Power Clean
* Front Squat
* Push Press
* Push Jerk

The weight (95 lbs. for men, 65 lbs. for women) cannot touch the floor (other than touch-and-go on the deadlift) throughout the duration of the workout. One partner will start by running 400 meters before they are eligible to receive the weight from their partner. After passing off the weight to your partner, you are not allowed to touch the weight again until you have completed a 400 meter run.
If you cannot complete more repetitions of the complex while your partner is still running, you may rest with the bar in any position you find comfortable, but the weight cannot touch the floor. If the weight rests on the floor at any point during the workout, both teammates will be assessed a 25 burpee penalty that must be paid before any more repetitions will be counted.
