♂ 135-lb barbell and a 30-inch box
Post time to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a spicy, fast-paced couplet. It might look easy on paper, but expect this combination to be challenging. Maintain a fast but sustainable pace on the box jumps to allow a bit of recovery for the next set of bench presses. Plan to complete the bench presses in 1-2 sets for the first 2 rounds and no more than 3 sets for the remaining rounds. Scale load as needed to make this happen. Aim to complete each round in 3 minutes or less.

Rx as a partner WOD with my son. Any time waiting for a station was spent in a plank. He dropped the bar in his last round so I picked up his last 3 reps as well as a few minutes of planks.

Great job, bro! I echo that sentiment.
Two fun days in a row! I’m sure hq will make us pay tomorrow.
It is SO much easier to breathe when traveling to (basically) sea level. In fact, I sometimes take a break where I would need one at home, then realize I’m not very tired!

135# BP wasn't going to happen and be able to keep to the 2-3 set per round as listed in the notes, but I wanted to push the boundary a little more than 95 would provide. Scaled the box height to 24" so I could step down for the BJs. I also don't trust the stability of my soft box at 30".
Excellent. The Lincpress is moving on out.

Shout out to Chris S for the challenge from a couple of days ago---about what frustrates us or challenges us....I said "intensity"
I chose intensity and it was the correct scale for me.
And speed! Way to fly thru it.
