Skill
5 rounds, 3 minutes on, 1 minute off:
3 power cleans
6 push ups
9 air squats
Use a power clean weight that lets you finish 3 reps quickly and confidently every round, whether you’re doing a touch and go set or singles. Scale the push ups so that they don’t grind to a halt; it’s ok if they slow down and get tough, but it shouldn’t be such a significant drop in speed that you start losing the cardio element of the workout.
