Heavy weights or general conditioning?

Today everybody chose a weight that allowed them to go unbroken all 6 rounds. So if it wasn’t the weight that slowed everybody down what was it? Was it the lateral burpees or the double unders? Did you take your time during the deadlifts and kill the burpees and jump rope? Or did you do it the other way around?

Anthony C. was putting on a clinic this morning doing lateral burpees. He stayed low to the ground and barely cleared the bar on every rep.

One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
