Team MRI 20 Core Blast

In teams of 4 complete max reps in 20 min of.

-Row-25o M

-"Rest"-In a plank

-Sit-ups

-Italian Toss- CF 10% BW SM 5% BW

Note: Your row will be your pace man and the rest man is just that "rest" in a plank. Once the rower is done they will go to the "rest" and the "rest" will go to situps and situps to tosses and tosses to row and repeat. You will score this in a collective effort over your sit-ups and Italian tosses. So you will have two scores as a team to add up at the end for a total score. Example: (300 sit ups + 500 tosses would = a score of 800). Everyone will work until the rower is done with the 250 M row and will not start working until the rower starts. If the rest man drops from the plank only the rower stops and the other exercises can keep on working until the row is done.

Post team score and any scale/mod.
