FLOW: At the call of 3, 2, 1, go, athletes will start working on the bike. Once the bike cals are completed, athletes will advance to the barbell and start working on their 30 power cleans.

Athletes will continue on in this fashion over the course of 8 intervals or until all of the work is complete.
