AMRAP 9
12 x front squat (135/95)
12 x burpee-pull-ups (jump to the middle bar or a bar approximately 8" - 12" beyond your reach)


NOTE:  The intent of this WOD is to go a bit heavy.  Scale as needed, but if you find yourself blowing through the front squats without much effort, then bump up the weight a bit.
NOTE2:  Weight starts from the ground - no racks. 
NOTE3:  Using the rack is a smart scaling option if you can't clean the weight.

Post number of rounds complete to comments.

I wish I could have been more efficient by turning that first clean straight into a squat, but I was too focused on getting the bar up first.
Painfully fun. Thanks for the push this morning guys.

I agree. Good one this morning.

that was miserable - I should have probably scaled to maintain some semblemence of intensity for the last round. Jumping to the middle bar was no joke.

2 rounds + 4 front squats as rx'd

Nice work to the young and spry cadets - you guys make it look too easy!

Forgot to mention..

Couldn't reach that middle bar so I had to move to a little lower one. So I retract my rx'd and say slightly lower bar for the bp's

Also, I apologize to the entire class of '62 for ditching my weight from the front rack during round 2. No disrespect intended!

3 rounds + 3 front squats

My initial take was "AMRAP 9? Why not 12??"

9 was fine...
