Scaling:
Today we have an ascending ladder of ring dips and burpees paired with a consistent number of hang power cleans. The load of the barbell is moderately heavy and should allow you to complete 5 reps in 2 sets or less. Advanced athletes may be able to maintain unbroken reps throughout the workout. Athletes performing the ring dips as prescribed should be able to maintain consistent sets of 3-5 unbroken reps. Expect the ring dips and burpees to cause localized muscle fatigue and the hang power cleans to be a welcomed “break.” Work hard and have fun today!
Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 12 minutes of:

Post time to comments.
Goal: 20 minutes of work.
Run Swim Run was a 2017 CrossFit Games event where athletes ran a course around the venue and swam in Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin. In today’s workout, we’re replacing the swim with the ski erg.
This workout is about aerobic capacity and technical endurance. The ski erg will feel like a nice break but be careful not to become complacent.
To improve your run pace, focus on posture. Imagine a string holding you up from the top of your head pulling your neck up and lifting your chin. In contrast, your shoulders should feel lower and your hands relaxed.
If you did the running intervals two weeks ago, you’ll have a good idea of your speed. A trick for this one could be to average your times on the 400-meter runs and add 10 seconds to your pace in order to sustain the effort for the next mile.
Scaling:
Intermediate option:
For time:
Run 1,000 meters
Ski 500 meters
Run 1,000 meters
Beginner option:
For time:
Run 800 meters
Ski 350 meters
Run 800 meters
To build cardiovascular endurance, adjust the distances to allow jogging, running, or walking within the time domain. The running should take no more than 16 minutes in total. Move continuously on the ski erg. Aim for no more than 4 minutes on the ski erg.

Post heaviest loads for each EMOM to comments.
Scaling:
Today’s effort is meant to challenge your barbell cycling with a heavier load. Increase the load across as many sets as possible, building to your heaviest sets of 5, 3, and 1. The sets of 5 and 3 are meant to be unbroken (touch and go). You will be limited in load based on your technical competence with the clean and jerk. Start light, dial in technique, and increase load as you develop quality movement patterns. Use the remaining time in each minute to rest and/or add load to the barbell.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d
