Pistols then Hang Clean, Push Press, Front Squats and Burpees

Take 15 minutes and work on any Gymnastics movement you like.  Work on form, flexibility, strength.  My choice: Pistol Squats plus L-Sits.

Then do 5 rounds of

Start with empty bar then increase weight each round up to the working weight for the next part.

Then against a 2 minute running clock for each round, do 5 rounds of the following for max number of Burpees, resting 2 minutes between rounds:
