- To Technical Failure means that we get to a point where our form is starting to break down or our last rep is a slow grind and we end our set there.
- Sets must be unbroken to be considered Rx.

5 Rounds For Time:
12 Push Presses 135 / 95 lb
20 Box Jumps (24"/20")
Time Cap: 15 Minutes
Stimulus
- Overview: Today athletes will be challenged to hold onto the barbell for unbroken sets each round. That being said, the box jumps should be a fast but sustainable pace, allowing us to catch our breath a little bit but too slow to where we are losing time. Finding a balance between these two movements will help us crush this piece.
- Push Presses: The barbell should be taken from the floor. Loading should not exceed 65% of your 1RM push press. Reps should take 1:00 or less to complete each round.
- Box Jumps: Athletes should fully open hip and extend knees on the box before coming down each rep. Rebounding is not permitted. Reps should take 1:00 or less to complete each round.
- Score: Total time to complete work. If capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep.
Strategy
- Athletes should aim for unbroken sets of push presses, pausing with the bar overhead or at the shoulder during sets are ideal places to take a beat and catch your breath.
- Box jumps are a great option to use as your pacer. Move at a pace that allows you to recover your breathing a bit and maintain unbroken sets on the barbell.
- Focus on fast transitions throughout all rounds.
