    PFL Weekly Challenge “6 Whack” core and heavy Challenge #18 is not a high volume piece this week, 2 rounds should be attacked with intent to get in and then out! Obviously know your weakness going into this piece, but this workout should let you go after your strengths with a speed mentality. 21 GHD Sit ups will tax the midline here so don’t be surprised if the toes to bar don’t feel normal out the gate.

    PFL Challenge #17 “Two Pulls” is going to get grippy! Strength and power will be tested in this weeks challenge. Both will test the grip in two different ways. Most have tested themselves in a 1 rep max but have you challenge that grip to hold on for 3? Follow that up with 1000 meters on the rower and you have “Two Pulls”! Utilize the 7 min clock not only to establish your lift but also your rest time before testing the 1000m row, once the 7 minutes is up make sure you have s

So most don’t have the Ski Erg but if you do you can sub back the ski in for the row. Rope climbs for most here will be to a 15ft line, I could imagine the games athletes reaching for something a bit higher!?! Event 5 in the games calls for a sandbag carry and again if you have one use it here, for larger groups, that may not be

    Barbell weight 135lb for men and 95lb women At this weight big sets should be possible if not unbroken. Knowing that you get to but the bar down during the run, you should go big. Shoulder to overhead can be a press, push press, or any jerk. Top times for this one- 11:00 and under Cardio Badge- Obviously the run will dictate the pace and gain you time or lose you time. If your cardio is trained up you should be able to shoot for that 11 or better time. That would gain you 75

    “Grettel” 10 rounds for time of 3 clean and jerks and 3 burpees facing the bar. If you have paid attention to the CrossFit semifinals you saw this workout performed at a pace un-imaginable to most regular fitness enthusiasts! The fastest times in this workout were in the low two minute range! This is “Grace” with 30 burpees, so if you have done that workout you know what you need to do here. I still believe a pace is warranted but no breaks if possible. Even if you have to go
