WHITE BOARD BRIEF
Target time and load | Less than 10:00 and as close to athletes’ 1RM cleans as possible.
This Open retest first appears in February 2018. If you have completed it before, try to beat your previous scores.
If you have not completed this workout, scale to complete the squats and burpees in less than 10:00.
You should be able to make 2-3 attempts at a heavy clean. A good starting weight is around 80% of an established 1-rep-max.
If you don’t know your percentages, start at a load that feels heavy, but manageable.
The warm-up will involve a lot of burpee and squat practice to emphasize moving faster than usual. Be prepared for those extra reps.
To ensure you can move fast and have an appropriate load, there’ll be an aggressive mini-round that requires speed AND a heavy lift at workout weights.
