**We’re putting a little spin on CrossFit Open WOD 18.2, which had you build to a max weight clean in the time remaining. Today we’re building in some ‘pre-wod strength’ for you to build up to your heavy clean. You can power clean or squat clean, or mix and match! When it’s time for the workout to start, you’ll have your barbell set up with the weight you intend to clean already loaded. That will be what you jump over for the bar facing burpees. I really liked this workout with the strategy of where to place my dumbbells so I could be as efficient as possible getting to the squats after each set of burpees.

This is a doozy! So no slacking as you climb up the couplet ladder. And if you do get timed out, that’s okay. Take the time to get in some reps of the barbell cleans.

And who knows! This might show up again this year! 😀
