Coaching Tips: Squat cleans count as front squat reps, so do them if you can. Try to finish the first 2-3 rounds of squats unbroken. Keep the push ups legit if you are shooting for ‘Performance’, and don’t let your thighs be the last thing that leaves the ground. Changing hand positions slightly on each push up can help with fatigue in some cases. Be conservative on the walll ball sets so you have more ‘juice’ to run hard.

Optional ‘Cash Out’: none
