Scaling:
Today’s workout is a classic CrossFit benchmark. Be sure to look back at your previous score to help you better understand your strategy for today’s effort. Choose a load that allows you to complete most of the overhead squats unbroken. The challenge of this workout is to keep an aggressive pace on each element knowing that neither the lifting nor the running are so demanding on their own that you’ll need extended rests. Advanced athletes should resist the temptation to add load and instead commit to a run pace that’s just a little too hot.
Intermediate option:

Coaching cues:
Press up into the barbell and rotate your arms so your elbows face the ground. Do not relent on this technique throughout the workout.
