6 knee push-ups

9 squats

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 20 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

Deadlift 5-5-3-3-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.

Similar to 130419 and 221217.



Scaling:

Go as heavy as possible on the dumbbell clean and jerks. For the deadlifts, pick loads that allow you to attempt a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing heavy deadlifts, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.

Beginner Option:

Dumbbell clean and jerk 5-5-5-5-5

Deadlift 5-5-3-3-3
