  • Sets must be unbroken to be considered Rx.
  • If you don't have a spotter, do not use collars on the bar for safety incase you miss a rep and need to dump the bar.

"Betty"15 min

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.
