Scaling:
Experienced athletes should choose a load on the barbell that is a moderately heavy weight, yet allows them to touch-and-go or perform fast singles on the snatch and clean and jerk. Similarly, the pull-up variant should be fast and unbroken for the early rounds. Newer athletes should use a dowel or empty barbell and focus on mechanics for the lifting portion, and modify the gymnastics movements. Aim for at least 3 rounds in 12 minutes.
