AMRAP 10

20 Double Unders

5 Hollow Rocks

10 Air Squats

5 Handstand Push Ups

*Record 2 different AMRAP scores

_________________________________________

Hollow rocks in a workout? You bet! That is the ONE movement we want everyone to get more and more comfortable with…keep them slow ad controlled! The reduce in per-round-volume in the second AMRAP should help you maintain a nice, even pace. Try to beat that first score!

Part 1:

2 x 6

2 x 4

3 x 1

Bench Press

Part 2:

9-15-21

Box Jump Overs

Hang Clean and Jerk (95/65)

Pull Ups

*12 Minute Cap

_____________________________________

Final day on the bench for awhile. Let’s try to hit that new 1 rep max! Part 2 will tax your grip and the reverse rep scheme will force you to cautiously approach the early sets. Keep it light and fast on the barbell.

Part 1:

AMRAP 8

12 Alternating DB Snatch

6 Walking DB Overhead Lunges (R)

6 Walking DB Overhead Lunges (L)

Part 2:

3-2-1-1 (75-85%)

3-2-1-1 (85-95%)

______________________________________________

Don’t hesitate to go lighter on the DB or KB for the 1 Arm Lunges. We will continue to build up our strength in this movement but you need to be confident in the lock out first with the right weight. Plus, you want to be able to attack the back squats with enough juice in the legs!

Barbell Class: 8 AM – 9 AM

Open Gym: 9 AM – 11 AM

In Teams of 2:

10 Rounds

200 M Run + 7 Thrusters (95/65)

250/200 M Row + 10 Toes to Bar

10 Synchro Bar Facing Burpees

1 Minute Rest

*33 Minute Cap

*Partners will rotate back and forth between run + thrusters and row + toes to bar and they will be done simultaneously. Each athlete will do both couplets 5 times over the course of the workout. Burpees will be completed together once each athlete is done with their respective round.

_______________________________________________

*Equal work today and a little bit of extra teamwork required for the synchronized burpees.  You will be doing five rounds at each station, so don’t come out of the gates too hot; don’t worry, there will be plenty of sweat on your shirt when you’re done.  

Part 1:

6 x 2

3 x 8

Bench Press

*Record heaviest sets of 2 and 8

*Rest less than 2 minutes between sets

Part 2:

AMRAP 10

20 Double Unders

5 Deadlifts (225/155)

5 Strict Pull Ups

*Add 10 Double Unders every round

______________________________________________

*Focus on your set up today with the bench press – there is so much more that should be working than just your chest!  Today’s AMRAP is NOT a good day to work on double unders – keep the focus on high quality deadlifts and strict pull-ups.  

“Fight Gone Bad”

1 Minute Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (75/55)

4 x 2 @ 85-95%

Back Squat

___________________________________________

*Hopefully you are seeing the pre-squat theme with our “primer” workouts.  Prioritize moving well first, then completing it quickly – the main focus of the day is back squatting.

24 Minute Alternating EMOM

1: 2 Hang Cleans + 1 Jerk

2: 6 Burpees + Max Pull Ups in 40 seconds (No butterfly)

3: Max Double Unders in 30 seconds

*Record heaviest lift / total pull ups / total double unders

__________________________________________________

A healthy mix of lifting, engine, and skill. Continue to work on a strength focus with your pull ups, pick strict or kipping, but no butterfly. Go in with a % plan on the barbell, as you should have enough time to add weights.
