Metcon

Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
30 Double-Unders
10 Burpees Over the Barbell
3 Ground to Overhead (135/95 lbs)

I scaled this to 30 jumping jacks.  I jumped all portions of the burpees.  I used 115# for the ground to overhead (this still felt heavy, I could power clean it well, but had slow elbows)

I finished the first round in just over 2 minutes and then slowed from there.  I finished the 3rd round with a little over a minute to go and finished all of the jumping jacks and was mid air when time was called for 3 Rounds + 30 reps in 8 minutes.
