3 rounds of:
10 Overhead Squat (95/65)
15 Burpees
20 Hang Power Cleans (95/65)
Some considerations - lower the weight on the OHS and practice your snatch. This is a much faster way to get the weight overhead and start squatting.

The '62 Room will still be closed tomorrow, so we'll meet in Hayes Gym for some good 'ole fashioned asbestos.
Five rounds for time of:
25 Knees to elbows
25 Inverted Burpees
25 Air Squats
The Inverted Burpee: starting supine, kip (or sit-up and roll) to standing, kick-up to handstand. This burpee derivative involves similar amounts of work and greater skill than the traditional burpee.

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:
Pull-Ups
Overhead Squat (45#)
Check out the links to give you somethings to work on for this workout. This is a simple couplet with low weight for the overhead squat. In concept - you should be working very fast. I would offer up that if you have difficulty with kipping pull-ups or completing a "good" overhead squat, that you use THIS workout to work on and improve those skills.
Let me know if anyone is having problems with the links. One is wmv and the other is mov.

Friday's workout will be a chipper to finish off the week and make you look forward to a rest.
50 Deadlift (225/185)
50 Pull ups
50 Dumbbell Push Press (35/25)
50 Ring Push Ups
50 Box Jumps (24"/20")
50 Hang Power Snatch (45#)
Do all exercises sequentially - complete one exercise before moving to the next.
Scale as necessary to maintain speed and intensity. You can only grow if you're willing to go to that dark place where pain lives. Your arms will be tired when you get to the Power Snatch so be mindful of form, tight midsection, and using your shoulders.

Meet at Shea Stadium if you're so inclined.
Four rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
50 Squats
An alternate location if you don't want to use the track is to run from Ike Statue down diagonal walk and back (don't make the turn - just stay on the straight away).
Do not do this workout on a treadmill -- it's not the same no matter what people say.
Remember, this is what good squat form looks like.
