WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

If you’re a CrossFit athlete that’s looking to hit the bigger competitions, you’ll see this style of workout repeatedly coming up in qualifiers. If you’re finding yourself getting chewed up and spat out, then this will be perfect for you. Nothing in CrossFit comes easy. It literally requires blood, sweat and tears.

Don’t let the low rep range deceive you. If you go out hot in this workout, round 10 will take your lunch money. The key to this workout is to go unbroken and find a smooth pace for all 100 burpees. If you mess up the pacing on this one, you’re going to crash and burn HARD.
