The run stays the same, but double the reps every round, i.e.: Round 1: 1 clean & 4 burpees & run 200m Round 2: 2 cleans & 8 burpees & run 200m Round 3: 4 cleans & 16 burpees & run 200m Round 4: 8 cleans & 32 burpees & run 200m etc.
Track total reps for the workout

Those deadlifts were hard!  3 rep maxes are harder than 1 rep max.  Now I know why I come prepared for lifts.  The bladder does not like deadlifts and that's actually my favorite lift - LOL!

I knew those burpees were going to get me.  I was trying to focus on not letting my knees hit the ground.  I started off good but then got back to crawling.  I really need to work on this a lot more. 

I worked on squats by holding onto one of the bar poles.  My knees were hurting badly.  I really don't know when I quit bending my knees or if I've just always been like that but need to learn to start bending them.  I was surprised I even could do it.  But I'm going to keep trying and fighting to get it and other movements right!
