Background: Sgt. Thomas R. MacPherson, 26, was killed in action on October 12, 2012 by enemy forces during a heavy firefight while conducting combat operations in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. He was leading an assault against an enemy position when he was mortally wounded by small arms fire.
The barbell weight should be a medium-heavy, manageable load, allowing each set of 12 do be done either unbroken or in 2-3 quick sets. The Power Snatches are the exception here, if you’re not great at cycling these, then quick singles is appropriate. Aim to keep moving through the Burpees at a steady pace. |
