The STRENGTH workout is not for time since
there are too many complex movements.

    forgot to do the 500m row

    looked like 45-50 minutes for everyone else on the first option

  2. That workout effectively worked the body and the mind. Every round all I could think about was "at some point I will have to do more Mr Spectaculars". I think next time a workout has those in it, I will try to focus on how fast I can get those done instead of dreading them. The deadlift was a perfect weight, the hang squat clean thruster could have probably been 115 and just thrusters, we modified the box jumps to just a weighted box jump, and it I believe that a regular box jump x 2 would be better. Burpee pullups are good, but I will be ready to try some variance after Friday.

  3. That was a great workout to come back too. Really missed it! Thanks Scott. My time was 60mins. and have two pretty bruises from the kettle bell hitting my arms from Mr. Spectaculars. Oh and almost threw up several times. Very good, seriously.
