Percentages for sets and reps are derived from this number.
The final set is a “+” set which means each athlete will attempt to execute as many additional repetitions as possible beyond the initial rep load prescribed.

5 x 40%

“Co-Habitchuate”
5 Rounds for time
Run 200m (outside only, dress warm)
7 x Burpee Squat Clean Thrusters (DB/BB*)
15 x GHD/Abmat Sit-ups

Notes: Athletes may choose between Dumbbells or Barbells for Burpee Squat Clean Thrusters, taking into consideration the Push-up should be executed with hands on the bar/DB’s so that the Burpee is a continuous complex that doesn’t require letting go of the external weight. Weights suggesed would be 115/75lbs for Barbells and 50/35lbs for DB’s. Get some.
