Metcon (Time)
“Eighth Wonder”
8 Rounds for Time:
8 Push Jerks (135/95)
8 Barbell-Facing Burpees
*Moderate barbell. One that we could cycle for 21+ push jerks unbroken when fresh.
*Aim to hold onto the barbell for all 8 reps every round.
*Pace the bar facing burpees so that we can hold on for those bigger sets on the push jerks.
*Step-up burpees may be helpful in slowing things down and keeping the heart rate under control.
