4 Rounds for Time:
50 Double-Unders
Rest 1:00
12 Push Jerks 135/95
Rest 1:00

Modify the Dubs to Alternating Foot Steps or 2x Singles as needed. The bar comes off the floor and should be medium heavy-for you, unbroken on the fast end. The built in rest is there to allow you to complete the work without red-lining. To this end, breathe with focus during the rest minutes, aiming to relax your heart rate as best as you can.

Iron Maidens Stay Strong Scholarship

For the 4th year, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with Grace Outreach, a Bronx based nonprofit that works with women to further their education and gain financial independence.
