Today, it’s a tale of two AMRAPs. Both are the same length, but strategy could be different for each. In the first AMRAP, the weight will be a bit heavier on the bar, but your cycle time should still be relatively fast. Look to keep a fast, yet steady pace on the dubs to allow you to get right back to the bar. In AMRAP number 2, with reps growing by 3 per round, don’t sprint the early rounds. Rather, keep a steady pace that will allow you to transition from one movement to the next in as short a rest as possible

Run 400m
Video courtesy of Team CrossFit USA. Quick demo of the Burpee Broad Jump. For today’s WOD, set up a 30’ section on the gym floor for the burpee broad jumps, lunges, and bear crawls, you use that 30’ mark as your turn-around point. For efficiency in the burpee broad jump, try to cover as much ground as possible in the jump. Sure you could do smaller jumps and have less impact on the shins, BUT that will mean doing more burpees to get through the full 60’. Who wants to do more burpees? If the impact on your shins is a concern, as you land, bend the knees to absorb the shock through the legs rather than have the shins take the brunt of it.

Run -> 500M Row
Burpee Broad Jump -> Burpee + 2 walking lunges
