Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 5 minutes of:

5 Power Cleans (135/95 lb)
10 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lb)
20 Double-Unders
(Practice your transitions – how would you lay out the rope, where would you set up your barbell in relation to the ball and rope, etc…. This is light and fast, so your success will be determined in part based on how quickly you can keep yourself moving in transition.)

4 rounds + 10 Wall balls
