-Classic CrossFit Triplet today.
-The primary objective is to complete this workout under the time cap. With that in mind, you should be aiming for sub 3:00 minute rounds.
-On the Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, make sure you can complete each round within two sets maximum. The reps must be kipping today, no butterfly. If you need to scale to achieve this, consider reducing the volume of adjusting to regular Kipping Pull-Ups, Band-Assisted Pull-Ups, or Ring Rows.
-On the Dumbbell Snatches, select a load that allows you to complete each round unbroken.

-The flow is to complete 20 Wall Balls then 10 Deadlifts, then 18 Wall Balls then 9 Deadlifts, so on and so forth until you complete 2 and 1.
-For the majority of sets you should be able to complete the desired reps unbroken. Both movements aren't overly heavy however, the volume is quite high.
-Be mindful that the workout doesn't really start until after the set of 14 & 7 reps. So be patient working through those sets and then pick-up the intensity from 12 & 6 onwards.

Athlete Notes:
-The primary objective for this workout today is to complete it under the time cap. This will be an average of 4:30 minutes a round which is very achievable.
-This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself with both the loading of the Snatch and also your Handstand Push-Up scaling. Ideally you should be aiming to select a load that will be tough, but you can maintain consistent single reps on. (Reminder, if you’re dropping today, please grab pads.)
-For The Handstand Push-Ups, look to select a scaling option that will allow you to complete the 14 reps within no more than 3 sets maximum.

-When tackling this workout, consider breaking the Kettlebell Swings at 13 and then continue on until 21.

Athlete Notes:
-Given the higher volume, this workout will test your capacity. It is 150 calories on the Rower, and 75  reps of each movement which is quite significant volume.
-Try to take a bit more conservative on your stronger movement(s) so that you have more energy for your weaker movement(s).
-With the Toes To Bar, try to complete the reps within 3-4 sets. If you need to scale today, start by scaling the rep count down first. If you need to scale further, switch to Straight Legged Raises, Hanging Knee Raises or Alternating V-Ups.

-The overall volume of reps on each movement isn't super large which should allow you to keep sets unbroken or at least close to it. But with that in mind, be cautious about your starting pace as 14 minutes will feel like a lot longer if you start off too hot.
