"Bergeron Beep Test" & "Macho Man"

6am & 8am
EMOM for as long as possible:
7 Thrusters, 35/25kg
7 Pull ups
7 Burpees

This is my test for pure conditioning (not skill, not strength). This test makes it easy to compare athletes across a spectrum of sizes, locations, and irregardless of skill or equipment.  In other words, size, strength, or skill doesn't play a huge role (muscle ups and oly lifting would favor the skilled, heavier weights the strong, and rowing and airdyne favors those with mass).  Nor does the running route, height of the wall ball target, or the model of airdyne matter.  Some might argue that it favors lighter athletes, but the thruster weight equalizes this more than you might think.  Now no test is perfect, and if there is any bias it would be to shorter athletes.  
This is also an incredible test of mental toughness, as it is very easy to give up on this workout mentally before your body actually reaches failure.  Basically this is a test of "Whatcha-got?"  So... lets see whatcha-got. 

By the way...Spealler got 17 rounds + 16 reps.

This is the equal but opposite test of the "Bergeron Beep Test".  Compare scores (they should be similar) to determine your strengths and weaknesses.  "My contention is that an athlete who can get 16+ on BOTH tests has the work capacity to qualify for The Games.  These tests say very little about an athlete's maximal strength, endurance, speed, Olympic lifting, high skill gymnastics, game-day mental toughness or their capacity across modal domains.  In other words, a score of 16+ on both tests isn't enough to determine if an athlete has what it takes to compete at the Games, but it does speak to the fact they have the work capacity to compete at that level."

BTW, Rich Froning did 20+ rounds with 93kg
