3 rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
21 kettlebell swings
12 pullups

————————-

Today we worked on the overhead squat, a deceptively simple lift – you just lift a barbell overhead, and do a squat. HA!!

As with many things in CrossFit (as I’m finding out), the overhead squat looks easier than it really is. It’s a total body lift, [...]
