The aim is perform 10 reps of the barbell clean and press, plyometric press-ups and double legged squat thrusts and to complete 5 sets in your fastest time.

 

Tips:

: Make sure you fully warm up before starting this challenge.

 

: Start with a lightweight on the clean and press and then work up until you are using your normal weight for 10 reps.

 

: For the plyometric press-up use a low step or Powerbag to jump your hands onto.

 

: If you can’t complete plyometric press-ups with a good technique then begin with the basic version and work up to this.
