CFL Short MetCon Challenge

I have thrown down a challenge for you guys for the coming month:

5 rounds:
10 HPC 135/95 or 77%+ BW
10 Lateral Jumps 24"/20"

You need to beat my previous time of 4:40. This challenge is prescription only. Don't worry, future challenges won't be so exclusive - but sometimes that's CrossFit. So that is to say that either you do the 135/95 # weight or you may do at least 77% of your body weight for the Hang Power Cleans and post your weight used and body weight. The lateral jump height is fixed. Also, your elbows must pass in front of the bar for every rep.

Fixed prescriptions, which we have gotten away from for a while in the programming, really convey the value of linear strength training (a focus of the programming for the last 6 months) and skill development in this CrossFit world of ours. This is where the rubber meets the road. Either you can do it or you can't. If you can't, it shouldn't get you down it should fire you up and get you working towards your goals.

Each man and woman that bests my time gets your CFL t-shirt order for free (only 1 shirt per person, sorry). Challenge last day for the challenge is July 19th. You must have someone witness your manliness/womanliness. Preferably a trainer but doesn't have to be.
