Event 2: Captain Intensity

4 minutes of rowing for total distance 6 minutes to get off the rower, head to the rack and register a 1-rep-max front squat Notes: The score will be totaled by adding meters + pounds. 1,000 meters + 225 lb. = 1,225 points.

Event 3: Franklin

As many reps as possible in 7 minutes of: Strict handstand push-ups with legs locked out Back squats (IGM/IMM 135, IGW/IMW 95, JR 115) Notes: You can break up the reps any way you want. The barbell for squats must be taken from the floor. The handstand push-ups with take place with two Rogue 25 bumpers separated by an AbMat. You whole hand must be on the bumpers, and your head must touch the AbMat. Scoring in the Intergalactic and Intermediate divisions will be 2 points for every handstand push-up + 1 point for every squat.
