Get A Grip

Teams of two must complete 100 repetitions of the following complex:
1 Deadlift (95/65 lbs)
1 Squat Clean (95/65 lbs)
1 Front Squat (95/65 lbs)
1 Push Press (95/65 lbs)
1 Push Jerk (95/65 lbs)

The weight cannot rest on the floor at any point during the workout - the only contact must be the quick tap of the plates on the deadlift. The partner who hands the bar off must immediately run 100 meters before he or she may receive the weight back from his or her partner. If you drop the bar, instead of handing it off, you must run 200 meters instead of 100 meters.
