Workout 8743

Created: April 1, 2025

Description:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
30 double unders
3 push jerks

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a weightlifting and monostructural couplet. The reps are relatively low to keep round cycle time faster for those who are proficient in both movements. Performing a single round in less than 1 minute is certainly possible, but today could also be a good day to work on double unders, or on the push jerk under some fatigue. The loading on the barbell should feel challenging, but still allow you to perform unbroken reps in each round.
To reduce the complexity of the jump rope, choose one of two options, either performing double under attempts for 30 seconds or single unders. For the push jerks, perform push presses.
In case of an injury or limitation, consider riding a bike for 5/7 calories. For the push jerks, consider using dumbbells if there is a rack position limitation.
Intermediate option:

Coaching cues:
Instead of thinking about pressing up on the barbell, think about pushing yourself down into the receiving position.
