Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThese Events are a lot more “game-y” and entertaining than Quarterfinals. The tradeoff is that they are more exciting to watch but there will also be less separation, making it partly a test of fitness and partly a spectator sport. Event 15 Rounds for Time800m Run10 Clean and Jerks @185/125Time Cap: 30 Minutes4k Run = 15+ Minutes50 C+J = 3+ MinutesThis is a running event. Assault Runner will favor larger athletes. Posterior chain hot from this. This will be about running paces.   Event 2 5 Rounds for Time100 DU20 T2B10 Front Squats @225/155Time Cap: 18 Minutes500 DU = 5+ Minutes100 T2B = 5+ Minutes50 Front Squats = 1:40-2+ MinutesVery similar to Open 19.2 and 16.2 only twice as many DU in sets twice as big.  Going to feel the grip and midline on this one.  We’re also going to see sets that are too big. Rich went down to 5s on 19.2 and won. Rich’s Times30s for 50 DU1 Minute for 20 T2B - 10/5/5/5 for 25 Event 37 Rounds for Time10 Cal Echo1 LLRC10 BJO to 24/30”1 LLRCTime Cap: 16 Minutes14 LLRC70 Cal Echo70 BJO14 LLRC at 4/minute = 3.5 Minutes70 Cal Echo at 20 cals/minute = 3.5 Minutes70 BJO at 20 reps/minute = 3.5 MinutesSet sizes are less dense, rate will be somewhat high here. Cap is pretty high to make sure that people who struggle with LLRC still have a similar work requirement. This will be a close race, separation is spread pretty evenly between all 3 movements. No distinct limiter here. A bit of a game seeing how fast other guys do the echo.  Event 4For Time400m Row100’ HSW600m Row125’ HSW800m Row75’ HSWTime Cap: 13 Minutes2013 Regionals6:30 2k 1.8k Row = 5:50200’ HSW = 2 MinutesAgain high time caps ensure everyone has the same work requirement. I think we’ll see more separation on the row than on the HSW.  Event 5 For Time10 Squat Snatches @1858 Squat Snatches @2056 Squat Snatches @2254 Squat Snatches @2452 Squat Snatches @265Had them load their own bars in 2016. Fraser's Split Times from 20161:00 = 1 rep every 5s @1852:30 = 1 rep every 7s @2054:00 = 1 rep every 9-10s @2255:05 = 1 rep every 12-13s @2456:05 = 1 rep every 15s @265 Event 6For Time30/22 Cal Echo15 Muscle Ups75’ DB Walking Lunge @70/100#/handTime Cap: 6 MinutesRacing at high paces on stationary bikes is dumb.
