Today's workout is meant to be heavy. You are lifting for only 10 seconds at a time. You should aim for at least 3 reps in each interval. With the low rep scheme and low sets (8) you want to lift close to your 3 rep max weight. We are building strength, power and muscular stamina with this workout.

WOD Notes
If the benchmark weights are not within the athlete's ability, scale weight to 3RM. The shoulder press is a strict press, no leg drive. Shoulder press and front squat come from the rack. Your score is the total reps performed in all of the intervals.
