Post Deadlift Loads and Time For Each Metcon Round to Comments
For the strength segment, follow the warmup sequence to determine your 1RM Bench Press. Use common sense and good judgement. When in doubt, live to lift again another day. New 1RM’s may only be recorded if the lift is done with full ROM.  Use a spotter for ALL sets.          

For the Metcon, use the heaviest Sledgehammer you can handle.  The swings are to be done with both hands, but one set from the left side and the second from the right each round.  Carry ONE kettlebell in ONE hand for the Farmer’s Walk.
