This one was tough. I felt pretty good though. I did 4, 4, 3, 3, 4 for a total of 18. I was hoping for 20 but dogged out a bit in the middle rounds. My cleans felt a little off. I was getting them up into the rack as well/cleanly has I have been lately. I think I need to really focus on whippng my elbows through and under the bar as quickly as possible.
This is the exact same number I got when we did it back in June...but i was sick that day...doh!

4.10.2025 3 Rounds, strength Workout
3 Rounds, each for time
30/22 (cal) SkiErg
21* Hang power cleans / Front squats / Push jerks @ 70/47.5kg
15m
12 DB box step overs, 24/20” @ 2 x 22.5/15kg
3 Rope climbs– Rest 1:00 between rounds –
Target time. < 21:00 (including rests)
Rnd 1: HPC, Rnd 2: FS, Rnd 3: PJ
TIMECAP 28:00
Overview. Three (3) rounds with 1:00 rest in-between. By adding that short rest, we’re asking you to push harder on each round. Each round brings a different challenge with the rotating barbell movement. 1st round will be more grippy, second one more legs/harder to breath and the final one will be shoulders. Of course there is the accumulating fatigue and increasing HR through the piece as well.
Pacing. You’re looking for a pretty hard ski pace to start on the 1st 2 rounds, on the final one you might need to back-off a bit so as to save the triceps for the jerks. The dream is to do all barbell movements unbroken but you might need to break them to 2-3 sets. If yes, don’t push the sets too close to failure and keep yourself accountable (clock or # of breaths) on the rests as they can easily stretch out to be unnecessarily long.
Aim to keep the HSW unbroken (or if in segments then each segment UB). Take a tactical break on the box step overs if needed for grip/breathing, so that you can get your 1st rope climb in right after.
Use the rest to recover: 1) Big exhales (to blow out some CO2 and regain control of your breath), 2) flush your mouth with a carb drink, 3) re-focus on the next round
Instructions. Set up equipment 2-3m apart to allow for easy transitions (this is your built-in rest). Set up the HSW to be a single 15m/50’ stretch but if not possible, just break it to 2 x 7.62m/25’ segments.
Debrief.
– How was your pacing overall across the rounds?
– Were you able to stay consistent? Was there a barbell movement that was harder/easier than others?
– How were your rest and transition times? Could you get straight to work each time?
– 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?Movement options.
SkiErg → Row/BikeErg/Run same calories
Barbell → 61/43kg (135/95lbs), 52.5/35kg (115/75lbs), 43/30kg (95/65lbs) or 30/20kg (65/45lbs), you should be able to finish each movement with no more than 3 sets, ideally 1-2
Handstand walk → Wall walks (5 reps/round)
DB box over → Lower box or lighter DBs
Rope climbs → Reduce reps (1 or 2/round) -

CrossFit Endurance - "300" Workout
Perform 300 total reps of the following 8 exercises. You must perform at least ONE of each exercise.
After every 25 reps, run 100m.Exercises:
ring push ups
dips
pull-ups
wall balls @ 20#
KB Snatches - 1.5 pood
Knee to Elbows
GHD Situps
Box jumps @ 24"
All in all... this sucked really badly. I ate something bad for lunch and it was wreaking havoc on me. I almost met pukie the clown a bajillion times during this WOD, slowed me down immensely. How much? I did the first 100 reps in a little under 10 mins. Then did the next 200 in almost 33 minutes...
Who cares though, I finished.
Yay me. -

Only got 205, back felt off for some reason on the FS.
I PR'd this one by 7+ rounds, pretty happy about the vast improvement. Not dropping the bar and ripping off the PU made all the difference. Makes me believe in the work.
24+3 Power Clean
