Joseph Burns knows how to throwdown!
What drives you? What keeps you going? And finally what gives you peace?
We all need to make sure we stay focused and head strong. 4 days in most people might think this isn’t so bad, but 30 days with out a normal routine can and will start to weigh on you if you’re not ready. So what drives you? Maybe that is the pursuit of health and wellness or being better than you where when this all started. What keeps you going? Is that making sure you there for your Parents, siblings, or your spouse and kids, niece or nephew. And finally what gives you peace? Your favorite movie, snuggle time with a spouse or pet, talking to a friend.
Me…. I’m driven by the fact that I will not let CFDNR and its athletes and community be torn apart during the next 30 day and at this point it could be possible a bit longer. Watching all of you move and communicating is keeping be going. Seeing my wife on the front line fighting the good fight. My peace is knowing all you will be back in the gym, kicking ass even harder than before when this is over. Knowing my Family, friends and dogs are doing well… and I would be lying if I didn’t say the occasional donut!

STIMULUS
GENERAL
“Task Priority Fight Gone Bad” is a twist on the classic benchmark workout “Fight Gone Bad”
Rather than completing 1 minute stations, we’ll work through 150/140 reps per round
Your score is the total time, including rest, it takes you to complete the 3 rounds
We expect this to be a longer piece that takes around 18-30 minutes to complete
BARBELL MOVEMENTS & WALLBALLS
Choose lighter weights that you could complete for 30+ unbroken reps when fresh
BOX JUMPS
Stand to full extension on top of the box
STRATEGY
There are a couple ways you could attack this workout:
Pick a break-up strategy that you want to hold on each movement across the board
Complete each movement “tabata style”, where you work for 20 seconds and rest for 10 until the 30 rep
are completed (all except the row)
Envision how you’ll be moving in rounds 2-3 and try to hold that pace or rep number from the beginning
Keep in mind that there is only 1 minute to recover between rounds
If you are going with the traditional break-up option, here are some ways to get to 30 reps:
1 Set: 30
2 Sets: 15-15 or 20-10
3 Sets: 10-10-10 or 12-10-8
4 Sets: 8-8-7-7
5 Sets: 6-6-6-6-6
