For strength, warm up to a heavy weight for front squats and use that same weight for all sets.  For perfect push-ups, find a progression where you can maintain a perfectly plank body – to scale this you may need to use a box or bench to elevate your upper body.  For the metcon, you’ll row 1k then do 3 rounds of 10 push presses and 10 front rack lunges.  The goal is to row at an intensity so that you can come off and start your push presses right away. Strength Alternating EMOM for 5 rounds: 1) 5 heavy front squats 2) 10 perfect push-ups Conditioning For time: 1k row, then 3 rounds of: 10 push presses (115/75) 10 front rack lunges (5L/5R 115/75)

The metcon is for time – you’ll do 10 KB swings, then 10 knees-to-elbows, 9 KB swings and 9 knees-to-elbows, etc. down to 1 KB swing and 1 knees-to-elbow. Strength Bench Press 10,10,10 Conditioning For time: 10-1 KB swings, 53/35# Knees-to-elbows

Your score is total reps across all movements. You may scale rope climbs to 3 rope pulls, but 3 rope pulls will equal 1 rep. In teams of 2, ME at each station (3 rounds, :45 work, :15 transition): Tire flips Rope climbs Thrusters, 135/95# Burpees over bar

CrossFit is founded upon couplets and triplets, usually for time. Why? Keeping it to only a few movements at simple rep schemes allows for high intensity and doing it for time will push you to finish as quickly as possible. Try to keep that hook grip on the hang power cleans as it will allow you to maintain fast cycling through. 4 rounds for time: 10 hang power cleans, 135/95# 15 push ups 20 wall balls, 20/14#
