    Strength

    E2MOM for 14 Minutes
    Max Set of Strict Pull-ups followed by a sustainable set of Double Unders.

    Perform as many pull-ups as you can during every round  immediately followed by a  set of double unders.   Rest during the remaining portion of each round.  If you’ve recently set a pull-up milestone like getting your first strict pull-up, stick with the least assistance possible even if it means only getting one pull-up per round and possibly hitting failure.

    WOD

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes

    Squat Clean Thrusters 115/75lbs
    EMOM 5 Burpees Over The Bar

    The workout STARTS with 5 burpees at the top of EACH minute including the first minute, you will then perform squat clean thrusters for the remainder of the minute.  Your score is your total number of squat clean thrusters completed by the end of the 10 minutes.

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes

    Hang Power Clean

    Work up to a daily max for your hang power clean.  Start light and be sure to catch the bar deeper into a partial squat as the weight increases.  When the weight goes up your response should be to drop lower to receive the bar.  If you fail a rep it should be by landing below parallel and catching the bar in a squat clean.  Trying to yank the bar higher and higher is inefficient!
