Squat Clean to O.H. weight/standards

The workout that includes a squat clean to overhead is one of two workouts that might have to be scaled.

Mens weight: 135
Womens weight: 95

There will be 4 reps/round, and the rounds will be fast. Therefore, you won't have much time away from the bar, nor much time for you to catch your breath or lower your heart rate. That being said, you will need to determine ahead of time whether you feel comfortable doing these weights in a scenario such as the one stated above. The bar can be dropped from overhead, and it be be take overhead anyhow, via thruster, push press, push jerk, or split jerk.

If you decide to do this Rx'd, you must be able to complete 2 rds of this weight within a short period of time. The time/ and other reps will be released later.

If you choose to do this Rx'd, and fail to complete the second round of the squat clean + O.H. then you will automatically drop to the bottom of the rank along with anyone else who did the same.

Should you choose to scale this workout, the weights will be 95/65. Remember, scaling it is better than a DNF.

Also in this workout are knees to elbows. Rx'd is knee to the elbow, scaled is knee to the "tricep/armpit area." So if you're one of those who sometimes touches their elbow, sometimes touches their tricep, you're going to have to choose wisely. Doing this Rx'd would be getting through at least 2rds of the Knees to Elbows. They will be for 6 reps/round.

Should you choose to scale this workout, you will be allowed to do knees to "armpit/tricep" area.

There will be 4 scoring divisions on this workout:
Rx'd
1 movement Scaled
2 movements Scaled
DNF
