5 rounds for time of:
135lb Power Clean & Jerk x 9
Knees to elbows x 9
200m run

Varied, if not randomized: I (and many others) have studied and used different periodization lifting plans based on the premise (validated by solid outcomes) that varied load and volume produces better strength gains. CrossFit takes that principle of variation one big step further by eliminating predictable “routine” workouts, replacing them with constantly varied exercise sessions. One session may focus on creating better form, and even a new personal record, in an Olympic lift. Other sessions may alternate high velocity jumping and pull-ups with running, or mix pushups with situps and body weight squats and yet another session may contain only 4 minutes of exhausting, high intensity exercise . Random physical challenge that creates breadth of physical adaptations is the constant variable in CrossFit.

hold on, I'm not done yet....

1. Great workout. Should have dropped to 115 to speed it up .28 minutes
