• Burpees: For new athletes or less proficient athletes consider removing the round of 9-10

Coach Focus: This open retest gets nasty very quickly, due to the nature of the fast transitions and low rep scheme in the first few rounds. Coaches should push athletes to move fast, but to adhere to the full ROM needed for both movements, as we often see when athletes are racing they shorten their ROM to speed up. No shallow squats or incomplete hip/knee extensions during the squats. On the burpees, ensure athletes performing this workout RX are taking off on two feet, not one.
