Linda

Also known as the "3 bars of death"
deadlift,
bench press,
squat clean.

The reps are 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
thus you do ten of the first movement, moving to the second for ten then the third for ten, then onto nine etc.
Coach advises to "storm through for time", easier said than done certainly. HQ advises to do this as Rx'd with one and a half times bodyweight on the deadlift, three quarters of bodyweight for the cleans and bodyweight for the bench.
As with everything we do it's scalable workout, the boys (18 and 23) scaled as they needed to, especially on the bench press. (possibly they are weaker on the bench press because benching isn't the ultimate test of strength and fitness that so many consider it to be, Jason has a muscle up and James is pretty close-I do think benching has a purpose-it's useful it you're laying under a vehicle and you need to fix the axle-is it the ultmate test of strength and fitness?-I think not:)
