Spring Fever

The ‘complex’ does not need to be done unbroken. Break up the movements/reps however you like. Make sure you reach the standard for the High Pulls (above nipple line or to collar bone).

Rxd: The load for all 3 movements should feel pretty light and manageable every time you pick up the barbell. Ideally, you should be able to cycle straight from the High Pulls into the Thrusters and the Back Squats for an unbroken set of 15. This isn’t mandatory, but if people scale appropriately, it should be achievable. Scale as needed.

Each round should take roughly 30-45sec, plus a little bit of time to switch out partners. If you can hold this pace across the 15min, some teams will be able to perform 15+ rounds, which would be around 7 rounds each. Most athletes should aim for over 10-12 rounds. Remember that is total rounds between the partnership.

Fitness: This is a great workout for newer people to get some time doing these new movements. Keep the reps the same and switching out with your partner after each round the same, just scale the load down as needed. An empty Barbell will probably be appropriate, or a tech (15lbs) bar. No dropping the tech bar!
