Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions, and determine to pay the price for a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures, something worthy of your potential. -Epictetus

The Call Out

Do ONLY with a partner of VERY similar fitness level.

For 30 minutes, one person rows 500 m while the other person does 5 x pull-ups, 7 x KB swings (1.5 pood), 9 x air squats, 21 x sit-ups, 5 x pull-ups, 7 x KB swings, & 9 x air squats. Then, that person does as many power snatch (95 lbs) for reps as they can until the other person completes the 500 m row. The only reps that count against each other are the snatches. Each player needs to yell out their reps as they go. Once the person is done with the 500 m row they call out "done" and only the complete snatches to that point are counted. Immediately, players switch positions and continue for 30 minutes. The player with the most snatch reps at the end is call out winner.
