QUICK START

• Start standing tall.
• At “go,” begin by completing 2 rounds of:
  • 12 burpees over the barbell
  • 12 cleans at the lightest weight
  • 12 burpees over the bar
  • 12 thrusters at the lightest weight
    • Athletes must change their own weights.
• Then, complete 2 rounds of:
  • 12 burpees over the barbell
  • 12 cleans at the middle weight
  • 12 burpees over the bar
  • 12 thrusters at the middle weight
    • Athletes must change their own weights.
• Then, complete 2 rounds of:
  • 12 burpees over the barbell
  • 12 cleans at the heaviest weight
  • 12 burpees over the bar
  • 12 thrusters at the heaviest weight
• Time stops at the completion (lockout) of the final thruster.

 

NOTES

• Time does not stop at any time during this workout.
• Athletes MUST:
  • Use exactly the prescribed weights during each round.
  • Use one barbell during the workout.
  • Change their own weights (no outside assistance is allowed).
  • Place collars on the outside of the plates.
• Athletes may change the weights at any time after completing their second and fourth rounds of thrusters.

 

TIEBREAK

• A tiebreak time will be taken after each set of thrusters is completed.
  • The LAST completed set of thrusters will be your tiebreak
• Athletes who complete the workout under the time cap will not enter a tiebreak score.
• In the event of a tie on reps completed, the athlete with the faster tiebreak time will win the tie.

 

This workout is all engine management under barbell fatigue. We are double-dipping the burpees each round, which elevates the heart rate while the cleans and thrusters demand efficiency as the bar gets heavier. Athletes must stay smooth early and controlled so they can handle the heavier barbell work later in the workout. Because athletes must change their own weights, preparation and organization will make a big difference. Efficient transitions can save significant time and prevent unnecessary fatigue. For advanced athletes, the goal is to move with controlled aggression early, keeping the barbell cycling smoothly while minimizing time during weight changes. The faster you reach the heavier bar, the more time you have to work there. For most athletes, this workout should be approached with controlled pacing through the first section. Avoid sprinting the burpees or rushing the early barbell work so you still have the capacity to handle the heavier weights later in the workout.

Everyone should treat the burpees as breathing management, using them to bring the heart rate down slightly before returning to the barbell.
