Kettlebell swings have to clear your forehead.  Attempt all the Swings and Pull-Ups unbroken.  The run can be scaled up by carrying a sandbag.

Thanks for all the great feedback yesterday! It's easy to get into a rhythm of doing things a certain way, hearing ideas from the community is a great way to try and keep programming fresh.

CFSBK wishes a speedy recovery to Matt U who sustained a pectoral injury last night Bench Pressing.  Get well soon, Matt!!

Good luck to Steph P, Joe W and Sameer P at the Tough Mudder this weekend!

Please do not throw the brown paper towels into the toilet!!

Training-wise, what is something you'd like to see more of at CFSBK?

Perform 3 sets of the following complex for a maximal weight.
6 Deadlifts
3 Mid Hang Power Cleans
1 Push Jerk

You have 5 attempts to find a best complex. The bar may be dropped from overhead after the jerk but must be regripped and pulled shortly after it settles.

Post 5 attempts to comments.

If you're feeling beat up, consider scaling the volume back to three attempts and using lighter loads.
