Workout of the Day:
Team Workout (Courtesy of Tony)
2 Person Team
10 rounds for time of
1 power clean
3 hang squat cleans
2 push press/jerks
40m sprint

1 team member does the WOD while one rests, when the working member sprints past his bar the other member starts and he rests. A round is when both members have completed a round, so each member ends up doing 10 rounds each.
