Scaling:
Today’s workout is a short rep scheme, but a high volume of rounds. Even though the sets are small, it is still a fairly high volume of each movement: 40 power cleans, 60 box jumps, and 80 chest-to-bar pull-ups.
Focus on smooth (not fast) movement and quick transitions. Check the clock after your first round — the goal is to set one pace you can keep consistent over all 20 rounds. This is a great mental and physical test! We suggest all singles on the cleans, and to step down off the box to help manage your heart rate. Aim to keep rounds under 1:10 or less. The elite will be able to keep rounds under 50 seconds.
Intermediate option:
20 rounds for time of:
2 power cleans

4 pull-ups
♀ 95 lb and 20-inch box
♂ 135 lb and 24-inch box
Beginner option:
12 rounds for time of:
2 power cleans

Coaching cues:
Widen your grip slightly on the chest-to-bar pull-ups and try to extend your upper body toward the bar. This will reduce the range of motion a little and make it easier for you to get your chest to the bar.
