Stonger

If the definition of functional strength is "moving a large load, a long distance, quickly." Then why wouldn't you want to get damn strong? Why would a gym program conditioning after conditioning then occasionally sprinkle in a strength day? Usually they do this because they do not understand that strength improves all other aspects of fitness. The stronger a person gets, the more load they can move and they will do so quicker. The strength portion of the workouts I program are more important than the following conditioning part. Strength takes longer to develop, however it is lasting, conditioning though can be built much quicker especially after a solid base of strength is built.

Training:
At the top of every minute perform 5 burpees, then during the remaining time in that minute do as many thrusters as possible. The goal is to reach 50 thrusters as fast as possible.
95lbs for the men and 65lbs for the women.
