Spartan Lunge, Pushups, KTE, DownUnder: 10.12.02

Not for time, but your total reps will be 300 - hence, "Spartan."

Warmup is 1/2 mile on the treadmill & PVC pipe warmup. (Sub 500K on rower or 3/4 mile on bike for treadmill if you like)

WOD: In any combination, finish a total of 75 reps of each exercise. You can break them into any combination of sets and reps as long as you complete 75 reps of each exercise:
1. Knees to elbows
2. Lunge steps in place (a step with each leg counts as a single count - so 200 steps = 100 lunges).
3. Pushups - move through the full range of motion - chest touches the ground & elbows are straight at the top of the pushup.
4. DownUnders - Single count: dip under the hurdle in good squat form and stand on the other side, lifting your inside foot off the ground.

Last time we did this was Sept 22. DownUnders are added to previous workout format.

S&M: As rx'd above.
CrossFit : Chipper style, same number of reps of Toes to Bars, Plate held overhead, Clapping Pushups & Jump instead of just lifting the foot with every DownUnder rep.

Goal today is completion of the 300 reps without a ticking clock. Post whether you chose S&M or CrossFit approach.
