>St. Lou’s, as a father would give his children advice, so will I to you…
Remember two things always:
1) Stepping onto a high object will always be more functional than jumping on one (especially if you’re getting attacked by a bearcat, or exercising for points).
>I remember back in 1942 when I Snatched my BW for the first time. The city of Alexandria made me king for the day, and Whitey Ford let me throw the first nine pitches at a Washington Senators game (they wanted to keep my pitch count down). Nowadays BW is what these whipper-snappers are warming up with, and apparently one-and-a-half times BW is the new standard.
Luckily, my Australian adopted son, Brandon Swan, may be the first to get there (yes, he’s wearing PINK nanos).

2 Clean & Jerks (full) @ 75%
Then, when the clock hits 5:00-
2 minute AMRAP of:
Clean & Jerks (full) @ 75%
*Score is total reps completed in 7 minutes. There are only 2 attempts allowed during the EMOM portion. The goal is to test consistency of technique and repeatability under load.
Strength
HBBS (based off 130129): 1X5 @ 85%, 2X3 @ 90%, 3X1 @ 95% – rest 2-3 minutes.
Conditioning
4 rounds for total working time of:
Row 500m
14 Lateral Burpees (over bar)
7 Power Snatches 135/95#
Rest 1:1
*Notes: Choose a pace on the Row that is roughly 90% of your best 500m. All 4 rounds should be at that pace, with the Burpees and Snatches being all out efforts.
Hey everyone!
I have a spot available for the Murfreesboro, TN training camp April 3-5.
I injured my knee and am unable to attend. I just had surgery on Friday morning- total ACL reconstruction, torn medial and lateral meniscus, torn MCL, and I took a 5mm x 15mm chunk out of my joint, so they microfractured my femur. SO, there is absolutely NO way I can go…
If anyone is interested, email me- kjkadrmas@gmail.com
I am trying to sell my spot for the Outlaw North training camp in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, 29-31 March. $299 OBO.
Hey KRA,
I’ll give you $200 for the spot if you are still looking to sell it.

Which is wiser???
My max PS is 135#
Should I attempt the wod as rx regardless of how long it will take me?
Or lower the weight & aim for 3-4 min rounds?
1) 8/10 then 3/3 at 215lbs. This ended up being much harder than I thought it would be.
2) I got completely stapled by 85%, dropped to 315 for 3×5. (off 425)
Cond) 1 round in 5min, then I quit. Just gassed. Hopefully this was my last morning session, ever.

Noob here, just started 3 weeks ago – what does the rest ratio (Rest 1:1)mean? Say you finish first round in 3mins, does that mean you rest 3mins before starting the next round?
Yes. It’s a work/rest ratio.
