Congratulations, you former Noobs, you! Our newest On-ramp graduates are pictured to the left striking a slick pose after making it through their final training WOD.

“Self Deprecation Liberates”
Complete 7 Rounds as quickly as possible, each against a 2:00 running clock:
10 x Pull-ups
10 x Box Jumps (24/20”)
10 x Bumper Ground-2-Overhead (45/25lbs)
10 steps x Walking Overhead Lunges (45/25lbs)*
Notes: Rx’d athletes should be attempting the 7 rounds versus a 2:00 running clock. Scaled athletes, or those unable to survive for 2+ rounds, will be performing the same 10 rep x four movement workload for five rounds (instead of seven), where each round is against a 3:00 running clock (instead the 2:00 version). If athletes decide to scale, the emphasis remains on the most expeditious execution of the 40 rep workload, the extra rest interval is intended to permit a repeated, high intensity effort.
Those looking to work recently exposed movement weaknesses are encouraged to upgrade their Overhead Walking Lunges to a 95/65lb barbell respectively. Get some, freaks.
