Foundations 3: AMRAP in 12 minutes

Skills:
Front Squat - did a bunch with the 33lb bar, and tried a set of 5 with 10lb on. Felt okay on these, but I always start to struggle when the volume of reps gets high.
Overhead Squat - got out 1 with the 33lb bar (and a half, before dumping the bar), then worked with the pvc pipe for form.
Skipping - tried a few double unders, didn't get more than one in a row, but a few times I kept going into singles without tripping myself up.

WOD:
50 skips
10 front squats
50m Farmer's carry

I managed 5 squats with the 33lb bar, then did the rest with PVC pipe, and carried 2x8kg KB for the Farmer's carry.

Managed 4&2/3 rounds, was about 7 seconds too slow to make the full 5 rounds!
