Think of it as a mercy killing.

We have found that if the WOD is not finished in the ballpark of 10 minutes, then the athlete is stringing together an insufficient number of the "primary lift", after the "hurdle lift"(ie. not making significant forward progress in the WOD).

Scaling the number of reps on the hurdle lift dramatically changes recovery, and may be essential.

Evan, in addition to the primary and hurdle lifts where does the burpee fit into all this? Or is that supposed to be the mercy killing part of the WOD?! Should we pick an optimal load on the DBs, try and do the 100 but scale burpees if we have to??

Primary Lift = Sq Clean into Thruster

Hurdle = Burpee

It should be noted that Hanging Squat Clean is what we are doing (just like in the Kalipa Demo)

You are trying to pick a load with which you will complete the 100 reps.

Scale the burpees if you have to, it will dramatically help your "recovery".

Thanks for the explanation Evan!
