Today’s Quarterfinal-inspired WOD finds us keeping a steady state on 5 Burpee Box Jump Overs and increasing our Clean & Jerks over 5 rounds.  Try to keep moving the whole time on the burpee box jump overs.  On the Clean & Jerks, make sure you are stable prior to hitting the Jerk, but if you can safely catch the bar and use the stretch reflex to go right into the jerk, have at it.  Feel like going for the height and weight the Quarterfinal calls for?  See the above video or the notes under Scaling. Get after it!
