Here is what you may want to do for each event, but cannot do. 😉Â
Please remember that you cannot “quit” and AMRAP during the middle of it to move on to another event. Once you start the AMRAP, the time must finish for that workout before you start another one. You can get credit for reps completed for the AMRAP if you get time capped but will get no credit for not finishing a “For Time” event.
STRENGTH EVENT 1: 3 Rep Touch and Go Clean and Jerk
You will want to rest the barbell on the ground longer than a “tap” even though you can pause while holding it in between reps. You will not use collars because you are too good for them.
STRENGTH EVENT 2: 3 Rep Touch and Go Snatch
You will want to rest the barbell on the ground longer than a “tap” even though you can pause while holding it in between reps. You will not use collars because you are too good for them.
STRENGTH EVENT 3: Max Backsquats in 90 seconds
You will want get your teammates to pick up the weight and give it to you even though you have to. You will also try to move on to the next event before the 90 seconds is up.
STRENGTH EVENT 4: Max Thrusters Until Broken
You will want to use a box or weights to rest the barbell or have your teammates hold your barbell so you can rest.
AMRAP 1
You will want to do step ups instead of jumping off 2 feet. You will want to not lock out your knees during the shoulder to overhead because the weight is light.
AMRAP 2
You will try to not extend fully on the deadlifts and you may forget which KB weights you need to use. OOPS. You and your partner won’t both reach the bottom of the squat at the same time.
AMRAP 3
You will want to let the barbell/plates hit the ground or another piece of equipment during the workout (and forget to do the burpee box jump penalties). You will ask the team member who is not working out to help out in any way. You will forget to use collars
AMRAP 4
You will forget to reset the rower after each athlete finishes their calories. You will not jump off 2 feet for the burpees and you will not have both athletes’ chests touching on the ground at the same time at the bottom. You will not follow the Bar Muscle Up pairing.
FOR TIME 1
You will want to get off the rower before you finish your distance in meters. You will forget to put collars on your barbell.
FOR TIME 2
You will forget to put collars or try to load 2 bars when you know you can only use 1 barbell that is gender specific.
FOR TIME 3
You will forget to put collars or try to load 2 bars when you know you can only use 1 barbell that is gender specific. You will not clearly jump over the back of the rower but will jump a little behind it so you don’t have to jump so high 😉 You will try to have the teammate who is not participating help during the workout.
FOR TIME 4
You will forget to load the weight correctly and forget to put collars back on. You will not have 2 athletes hanging from the pullup bar or one of them will be using the rig to help themselves stay hanging. The two athletes holding the bumper plates over their head will try to rest the plate on their head.
