Scaling:
Today’s workout pairs a weightlifting element with a monostructural element. The row distances are short enough that they deserve to be pushed and not paced. The loading of the overhead squat sits on the light-to-moderate side. The barbell should be taken from the floor and the weight you choose should allow you to complete your reps in 2 sets or less. The goal is less looking at the bar and more moving it. The final row should be an all-out sprint!

Coaching cues:
To increase your stroke rate, perform a big, strong drive and pull. On the return, get the hands away from the body, lean in toward your toes, and use your legs to pull your body back into the catch position.
