Part Two: Max Continuous Pullups (1 attempt)
Part Three:
"Garen" (20 Min Cap)
10 Rounds for time of...
3 Clean and Jerks (135/95)
15 Wall Balls (20/14)

"Form and Intensity
I am not a total “form Nazi.” When it is game day, I have a huge appreciation for all-out effort at end ranges of strength, power and speed, where form not only breaks down but can also become an abomination. I am not denouncing a nearly exhausted marathon runner’s lack of midline as he struggles through the last mile of the race. I am cheering the effort.
But if you practice with this “get ’er done” sense of wild abandon and lack of form, you are limiting your own success. Never be afraid to take a step back and focus on the fundamentals. Build the base of your pyramid as wide as you can that one day you can build it higher."
