Scap Push-Ups x 5-8 reps

and then …

Three sets of:
Single-Unders x 50 reps
KB Goat Baggers x 10 reps

A.
Take 5 minutes to build to 70% of your deadlift, and then …

Every 45 seconds, for 9 minutes, complete:
Deadlift x 1 rep @ 75% of 1-RM Deadlift

*This needs to be as explosive as possible during the concentric phase

3 Power Cleans (185/125 lbs)
6 Front Squats
9 Burpees over the Barbell

Every 4 minutes, for 24 minutes, complete (6 sets):
2 Power Cleans (135/85 lbs)

12/8 Assault Bike Calories

Decide if you’d like to cycle your power cleans or drop them from the top and quickly pick the bar up for your next rep. You can check out this article that goes into more depth for barbell cycling cleans.
The Front Squats would be ideally done unbroken.
Practice different burpee styles to see which version is fastest for you and then keep your RPM at or above 65/60. You should have around 60 seconds of rest each set. Please reduce the volume if you are worried about finishing in the time domaine.

Additional Session (Optional – only add this in if your schedule allows and your body feels good)

55+:
Five sets of:
Row x 15 calories
Double-Unders x 40 reps
Kipping Handstand Push-Ups x 3-5 reps

Please practice your kipping handstand push-up technique. Figure out what your best hand placement is, how far away from the wall you like to be, and what style of kip you like. I definitely recommend practicing a BIG kip
