NOTES:
Ouch.
So first and foremost, pick a weight that you will at least attempt to do the cleans unbroken. This weight should not be a weight, however, that you know for sure you CAN do the squat cleans unbroken. Challenge yourself.
For the box jumps, if your height isn't EXACT - don't worry about it too much. We would actually LOVE to see everyone jumping on something or over something if jumping is a possibility. This is true even if you must jump on something significantly lower.
Jump from both feet and land with the full foot on the box. Stand completely at the top before jumping or stepping down. Watch for any caving of the knees on take off or landing and fight to avoid that. As always, we recommend a step down - especially with high reps - but it's ultimately up to you.
If you don't have something to jump ON, find something to jump OVER.
If you cannot jump - you may sub step ups!
For the squat cleans the bar will start on the ground. You will have your feet a little more narrow than your squat stance with the weight in the heels and arms on the outside of the legs. Hinge at the hips so the chest is over the bar and bend the knees slightly. Arms are straight. Keep the back flat and belly tight. Lift the bar by digging the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Pull the bar into the body as you stand. Once past the knees you will pick up speed and transition your torso to an upright position. Jump UP with the arms still straight, shrug the shoulders, and pull yourself down underneath the bar. Keep the bar close to the body by bringing the elbows high and outside is it travels up and you travel down. Rotate the elbows around QUICKLY to create a shelf on your shoulders for the bar to catch. Catch in a solid front squat position with the butt lower than the knees, heels down, knees out, chest up, elbows high and back flat. Stand by leading with the chest and elbows.
Lower the bar to the ground for the next rep.

NOTES:
You may pick heavy dball over the shoulder, sandbag power or full cleans, tire flips - whatever you want to throw in!
Depending on what you pick here you may need to lower the reps. It should be something you can move through well and not have to rest outside of the 30 seconds too much.

NOTES:
Pick the weight and jump that is right for each partner. Doesn't have to match up! You want to take similar time on each interval.
You go I go - rest when your partner is working.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS -
This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.
DB SQUAT CLEANS -
You could also try less weight or starting from the hang. The Goblet Squat is also a great all around modification for this! For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.
