Workout:

- 17 Bar Facing Burpees
Strategy:
- Choose a steady pace that you can maintain for the duration of the AMRAP.
- Break up the Power Cleans into manageable sets to prevent burnout. For example, you might start with sets of 5 or 6 reps, followed by short rests.
- Focus on efficient barbell cycling during the Power Cleans. Minimize the time the bar spends on the ground and use a hook grip if possible.
- During the bar facing burpees, maintain a consistent rhythm. Jump or step over the bar, and ensure you’re standing tall with hips fully extended at the top of each rep.
- Be mindful of your breathing throughout the workout. Take deep breaths during rest periods and controlled breaths during the movements.
- Keep track of your rounds and repetitions to measure your progress.
