Coach’s Tip: The strength work here will put a great demand on your shoulders and triceps. Rest as needed, but be sure you take enough! They should feel recovered before approaching the next heavy set of 3. On the sets of 3 the weight can change, but the goal would be to find something heavy and stick with it. The Metcon will be capped at 14 minutes. That is 7-8 reps a minute, so be sure to find a load where that is attainable.
