1 x 5 @ 50-60% of 1RM
5 x 2 @ as heavy as possible in each set
Rest as needed between sets. If a set requires interruption make as minor an adjustment as needed and re-do it uninterrupted. Today, each lift features a full 2/1000 count in the top position. When scheme is listed as “5 x 2″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”.

Benchmark
“The Saddest Day” – 7:05 (Converge – Petitioning The Empty Sky)
10 Kettlebell snatch (35lb. W, 55lb. M)
20 Double-under*
Count rounds and half-rounds completed in 7:05.
Kettlebell snatch: Switch arms as desired. If designated weight creates/ forces a compromised position, adjust one interval down and continue safely.
If rest is needed, keep it short and specific. Push hard for at least 1/2 round improvement from last time.
*If the double-under is not yet in your tool box, perform 30 high-knee jumprope + 3 burpees in each round, and add 1 minute to total time.
