Good Morning
The barbell complex should be performed with the same load for all 5 rounds. Use your notebook and the warmup to gauge an appropriate weight. This rep scheme is extremely challenging. Each round is one unbroken set. If you can’t finish all 40 reps, your score is 0 for that round. There are to be NO broken sets–once you put the bar down, it is your partner’s turn. If you change the weight on the bar between rounds, your load score is 0. Post total completed rounds and the load on the whiteboard (e.g. 5/135).
