Start with a dynamic warm-up including shoulder mobility exercises and light power cleans to prepare your muscles.

Move to 21 Shoulder to Overheads, ensuring a controlled press and stable lockout. If new to this movement, consider reducing weight. Transition to 21 Burpees, aiming for a steady pace and efficient ground contact. Continue with sets of 15 and then 9 reps for each exercise, maintaining intensity and form. After completing the workout, cool down with light cardio and stretching, particularly focusing on your shoulders, back, and legs. The goal is to balance strength and endurance, executing each rep with proper technique throughout the workout.
