Options (volume). If you’re worried you might be tired/sore from this for the start of the quarter-finals:

1 – Down from 7 (7-5-3-1) on both/either part
2 – Down from 5 (5-4-3-2-1) on both/either part

Overview.
Part A – A classic combo of deadlifts and (burpee) box jump-overs. Go fast, don’t die.

Part B – A gymnastics challenge. While unbroken is cool, manage the sets to your capacity on both movements.

Strategy.

Part A – How you approach this depends largely on how heavy the deadlifts are for you. Taking a quick break (or two) in the sets can still give you a fast time IF you can push the burpees. When you see a piece like this, think about how long a rep of each movement takes (Burpee BxJO are way slower than deadlifts). This means there’s more time to be made on the burpees than on the bar (as long as you don’t get stuck). Long story short, IF the deadlifts are quite light for you THEN go unbroken and push the pace on the burpees, IF they’re somewhat heavy THEN break them up (short rests) and push the pace on the burpees.

Tips (Part A). First rep will always be the hardest in a deadlift set, don’t be alarmed if that one starts to feel heavy off the floor. On the burpees, it’s most likely faster to step up (then you can go straight into the jump) vs popping up. ALWAYS go straight back down on the burpees once you get to the other side of the box.

Part B – Similarly to part A, if you have good capacity on both movements, then unbroken will of course be the fastest BUT there is a risk to get stuck on the muscle ups or gas out on the DUs. If these are big sets for you on either movement, it’s best to start by breaking up the 1st two rounds, then rather push for unbroken for the last ones (vs start unbroken/too big and then get stuck).

Instructions. Set up equipment for part A the same way as it was in QF workout #3 in 2023.

Debrief.
– How was your pacing overall on the workout?
– How did the different movements play out for you?
– How were your rest and transition times?
– How would you change your approach and finish faster knowing what you know now?
– What two (2) things can you be proud of in this session? What one (1) thing must you improve?
