The goal is as many reps you can get in each minute.  That said, be smart on when to transition from one movement to the next so you can maximize that next minute as well.  I would aim to stop a give movement at roughly the :50 mark each minute (except for the dual DB Power Cleans) so I am in position to start the next movement right at the start of the next minute.

Time Cap: 36 Min

This one is a bit of a grinder, for sure!  Keep that slight bend in your arms during the KB swings and extend them fully only at the tops and bottom of the movement to make the rep rate a bit faster.  On the Box Jump overs, since you do not have to stand all the way up when on the box, stay low so you can step off the box almost in a partial squat. On the Hand-Release Push-ups, as long as there is air under your hands when you are at the bottom, we’re good.  And maintain a good pace on the run. Try to pick that pace up on the last 400M.

Scaling Options:

KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed (ELITE: 70/55)

Box height -> 20/16 -> as needed (ELITE: 30/24)
