One set on the :90, the 5 and 4 should be at a moderately challenging weight, focusing on ROM and establishing that bounce in the bottom if you have it. The 3s through singles should all be working sets at a 7-8 RPE or more. :90 windows are for athletes to stay engaged, especially if they are sharing a rack/bar with others. Focus and move through your sets! We are looking for a heavy single not a true max.

16 Min Cap
The ascending rep scheme makes this quite tricky.

If you get baited to go for UB sets longer than your

fitness can support, the 12s and 15s could turn into

a disaster. Having said that, if you can’t hit a

smooth set of 6 FS or SH to OH at the metcon

weight fresh, it’s far too heavy for the workout –

choose your weight wisely. The Chest to Bar

should be able to be completed in 1-3 sets,

otherwise scale back the volume so you don’t

spend too much of your time there
