*We want you to get in at least 2 rounds. If you’re choosing Life today, you might not need the full rest. If Sport, we’d highly recommend using all of it. Pairing up on this WOD is a great idea, because while the WOD is for time, it’s definitely more important to focus on quality here. Start at a modest weight and work up to a heavy single by the end. You might want to guesstimate your heaviest single and then calculate *down* for your prior sets.
