Scaling:
Today’s workout is a pyramid-style chipper. Pace yourself on the way up with smooth double-unders, focused on breathing and relaxing your shoulders. Go for 3 to 4 sets on the wall-ball shots — a good game plan could be 12-10-10-8 or 16-14-10. On the box jump-overs, stepping down off the box is a great way to moderate your heart rate to get you ready for the ground-to-overheads. The ground-to-overhead weight should be touch-and-go for at least 6 to 8 reps, though singles are OK for today. For this movement, you can choose how you get it from the ground to over your head — snatch or clean and jerk. On the burpee pull-ups, step in and out to keep moving, rather than doing a few fast reps, followed by a break. Be mentally prepared to get right back into the ground-to-overheads. The goal is sub-20 minutes for most and sub-17 minutes for the elite.

Coaching cues:
In the burpee pull-up, draw a line on the ground directly underneath the pull-up bar. For every rep, aim to get your feet on that line before jumping up to the pull-up bar. As you get good at this, you can begin jumping without looking for the bar because you know exactly where it’s going to be. Simply jump, grab, and pull.
