Barbell comes from the ground – no racks. Recommended weights are 205/145 lbs, but athletes are encouraged to scale up such that the load is between 75-80% of your 1-RM Front Squat.


I scaled this to 125# (67% of 1RM).  

R1 - Run 2:08, round 3:15
R2 - Run 3:55, round 7:15
R3 - Run 10:15, round 11:15

I went unbroken on the squats every round.  Last time I did this workout at 60kg and was going 3/3/2 on the squats.  My runs were a little faster and not having to reset the barbell saved me a lot of time.  4/9/2019 was 12:58.

Chest felt really good during the WOD.  A little phlegm on the walk back to work.
