___ Notes on this workout___

How ‘A’ works: You do the clean+lunge complex, then your partner does the clean+lunge complex, then you do the push press, then your partner does the push press. Repeat

Lunges: If you are unable to hold form on the lunges you must reduce the weight. Form means: correct spinal position (chest up/elbows up, no rounding forwards of upper back), front knee tracks over toes (not collapsing in), back knee and toes face forwards (not outwards), back knee positions behind hip (not under/in front of), hips remain directly under torso (not sticking out to the side or pushing the butt up and back)

KB single arm OH squat: If there is any twisting in your spine or sticking out of your hips please switch to a thruster instead

Crawl: On hands and balls of feet, knees to chest, keep your butt down, small and fast steps
