As Rx'ed

Could have went heavier on the snatch but I wanted to be sure and catch it in a full squat to get the tech work as rx'ed. Back squats didnt have a % so I starteed at 85% of my last 40X0 high bar, it felt pretty light so went up 5# each set after the first 2... even the last set of 350x3 was pretty easy, should have started there and/or ended around 365#. Omni toes to bar got tough the last 2 sets, glad I skipped the GHD this am

All 3 consecutive lifts must be completed in 40 seconds or less.- The first 3 minutes of Phase 1 can be used only to load the barbell and warm-up.- The remaining 7 minutes of Phase 1 can be used to score as many points as possible.- Points will be given for amount (in lbs.) of 3-RM Snatch achieved, and one point will be given for every Burpee performed during the 7 minutes.
Example – Athlete A successfully achieves a 3-RM Snatch of 175 lbs. and utilizes the remaining time to complete a total of 35 Burpees. Athlete A will earn a total score of 210 points (175 +35) for Phase 1 of the Challenge.*** Competitors will rest exactly 3 minutes before beginning Phase 2 of the Challenge.

Athlete A will earn a total score of 228 points (86+82+41+19) for Phase 2 of the Challenge.The athletes’ scores from Phases 1 and 2 will be added together to create their final challenge score. The athlete with the highest total score will be the winner.Example – Athlete A scored 210 points in Phase 1 and 228 points in Phase 2.

Probably should have started a little higher on the front squats... 325 was just about right though for 1. I remember when 15 C2B PU were hard to finish, much easier now and we havent been doing many... still getting plenty of pulls I guess. Glad we did the BB thrustrers to sub for the rows, it was probably longer than 15 seconds but it seemed like a good sub
