Wednesday, 13 NOV: Test 2: Clean and Jerk 15 Reps; follow it up with 5 x 200 meter sprints, rest 1 min between (basically do these as one lap of the gym track)Performance:There is no time limit, but the weight cannot be rested on the ground. Resting at the hang, rack, or overhead is O.K. At the ground, the athlete must touch and go. Technique is otherwise not critical.
Scoring: The score is exactly the load lifted.
Modifications:There are no modifications needed for this test.
Character: This classic movement is traditionally an excellent test of overall strength, but when performed at 15 reps becomes an extraordinary metabolic challenge as evidenced by max heart and respiratory rate.
Workout: This test can be practiced as a workout by completing the test and then repeating at twelve and nine reps with the same load, resting between efforts as needed.

Great Job everyone, this was a lot harder than we thought.
