– Squat jumps x10
– (Cost accumulates — by round 5 legs and arms are worn through, just like cheap boots)

Interest Payments — mosey 200yd between each Cheap Boots round, representing the ongoing cost of never upgrading

Good Boots Investment — done ONCE, heavy and long, upfront cost:

– Coupon overhead carry, mosey 300yd continuous, no drops
– “Rest” is a different carry: dirty diaper, bear hug, etc
– Suitcase carry back to goal line
– (One big investment — no repeats needed, it “lasts” for the rest of the workout)

MARY:

– LBCs x25
– Coupon sit-up press x15

COT:

The Boots theory was developed by Sir Terry Pratchett, OBE:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

And it’s reflecting the Biblical proverb:

The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. Proverbs 21:5 ESV
