“Hateful Eight”

As Many Reps as Possible in 8 minutes:

Max Unbroken Thrusters

Same Rep Chest to Bar Pull-ups

—2 minutes rest—

As Many Reps as Possible in 8 minutes:

Max Unbroken Wall Balls

Same Rep Pull-ups

—2 minutes rest—

As Many Reps as Possible in 8 minutes:

Max Unbroken KB Taters

Same Rep Ring Rows

*Thruster weight should be something you can at least do 10 unbroken in the first couple sets, but 15 is very challenging, wall balls and KB taters should be 15-20 in the first couple sets

*do max set of thrusters, if you get 12 then you have 12 chest to bar pull-ups that do not have to be unbroken, back to max set of thrusters, if you get 10 then you have 10 chest to bar pull-ups that do not have to be unbroken…etc. for the 8 minutes. Same set-up for wall balls/pull-ups and tater/ring rows

*this is not a situation where you strategize…for example, making the plan that you are just going to do 10 thrusters and pull-ups every time. Push mentally to hit a big unbroken set each time.

*Pace: this is very hard to predict with this format and sometimes it can be good to just have them push for max sets and see what happens
