Scaling:
This workout should be performed with a partner. If you’re unable to share the work with a friend or family member, cut the reps in half and rest for about the same amount of time you spend working. Newer athletes can stick to regular burpees and reduce the load on the cleans. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed.
