Scaling:
Reduce the weight at each interval, beginning with a load you can move for the full minute without dropping the barbell. Newer athletes should focus less on a max set and more on squat clean mechanics.

Scaling:
Expect today’s workout to fall in a moderate time domain. We are performing a lower volume of squat clean thrusters, but the challenge lies in hanging on to the barbell. A single repetition is a squat clean from the floor directly into a thruster. The bar must then be returned to the ground to begin the next rep. This workout is intended to be used with a moderately light barbell to allow for large, unbroken sets.

The runs should take no longer than 2:30. Push to complete the first 12 squat clean thrusters unbroken, or as close to it as possible. The intent of this workout is to cycle a lighter load across a large range of motion and push the pace on the runs.

Scaling:
Today, we have two sprint-style chippers with rest in between. For the first chipper, the load of the barbell should feel light to moderate, allowing you to do touch-and-go reps. On the second chipper, the load should be considerably heavier with most athletes doing singles on the barbell. Don’t be surprised if the pull-ups and bar muscle-ups feel more challenging coming off the squat cleans. Modify the pull-ups to jumping or assisted pull-ups, and the bar muscle-ups to jumping bar muscle-ups or pull-ups. We want to ride the line of keeping the foot on the gas, but not blowing up on the gymnastics movements. Trust yourself and let’s see what you’ve got!
