    Back Squat 3×5 ~ 70-75%

    Work up to around 70-75% of your max and perform 3 sets of 5 at that weight. Attempt to increase by a few pounds from that last time you did this.

    Strength

    E2MOM for 14 Minutes

    3 Hang Power Cleans ~ 70-75% of 1RM

    Work up to around 70-75% of your 1RM Clean and perform 3 reps at that weight for  7 sets.   New lifters should start with a moderate weight and work on  catching the bar with elbows up and in a partial squat.  You should be dropping lower with each rep as you get fatigued.   Add weight if the progression is going well.

    5 Rounds For Time
    21 Kettlebell Swings
    10 Push-Ups, Pike Push-Ups or Dumbbell Push-Press

    HSPU can be very challenging! First you’ll need a baseline level of strength. If knocking out a set of  push-ups is tough you should start there for this workout. Alternatively do Dumbbell Push-Press or Pike Push-Ups if you are ready to work on your overhead strength.

    3 Rounds For Time

    15 Overhead Squats 135/95lbs
    21 Box Jumps 30/24″
    400M Run

    Off Ramp WOD

    Scale this workout about  by load and box height!  Challenge yourself with the overhead squat but use a weight you can move through the squat with the bar pressed out and over your feet. Your feet should be flat and you should be able to draw a line from the bar to your feet through the entire range of motion.  The overhead squat takes a lot of joint mobility!
