3 rounds for time of:
15 shoulder-to-overheads
30 burpee box jump-overs
♀ 95-lb barbell and a 20-inch box
♂ 135-lb barbell and a 24-inch box
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a grind with a bit of movement redundancy. Don’t expect this workout to be blazing fast; instead, think of this effort as smooth and steady. The loading of the barbell should be moderate. Some will be able to perform unbroken sets, while others should aim to break no more than once. For the shoulder-to-overheads, choose push presses or push jerks. The push press will have an increased cycle time, while the push jerk will help produce more reps. And the burpee box jump-overs are a marathon, not a sprint.
Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the reps of the burpee box jump-overs.
To reduce the complexity of the shoulder-to-overheads, consider using a pair of dumbbells or performing shoulder presses at a reduced load. For the burpee box jump-overs, reduce the height of the box or perform burpee box step-overs.
In case of injury or limitation, for the shoulder-to-overheads, consider single-dumbbell shoulder presses or push presses. For the burpee box jump-overs, perform up-downs, plus box step-overs. If necessary, eliminate the box and perform up-downs.

Coaching cues:
