COACHES NOTES
Happy Belated Birthday Callie Wolf!!!
The way this one works is you will cycle through 6 squats, 6 presses, 6 burpees, and 6 rows as many times as you can for 15 minutes!
The reps for the weighted movements are so low that you really shouldn't have to break those up for at least the first 10 minutes of the workout. Be sure to keep that in mind when choosing your weight(s)! Go with a burpee variation that allows you to get those 6 reps done in 30 seconds or less!GOBLET SQUAT
You will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally, you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!
You can also turn these into DB Squats by holding a dumbbell in each hand at your shoulders!
If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep a good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this depth, you may squat to a slightly higher target!
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Air Squat
Squat to Target
SHOULDER PRESS (Formerly known as OVERHEAD PRESS)
You can use two DBs on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it's completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single DB/KB Overhead Press
BURPEE
Start standing. Place your hands on the ground. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in. Jump up and clap with arms overhead!
You can also sub to "no-push-up" burpees or even do them with your hands elevated on a bench or box if you need to.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Step In/Out Burpee
No Push Up Burpee
Elevated Burpee
TRX/RING ROW
Grab the handles or rings and lie back until your elbows lock out completely. Just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. You can step forward to make them more challenging or backward to make them more accessible. Keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top. Keep your elbows close to your sides and lock them all the way out at the bottom each time.
If you don't have access to TRX or rings, swap these out for bent over rows or even single arm bent over rows!
- OR -
BENT OVER ROW
Start standing with the dumbbells at your sides. Set up by lowering the dumbbells to just below the knee - make sure you're keeping your back flat, chest proud, and belly tight. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - pull the elbows back and bring the dumbbells to just below the chest. Keep the belly tight. Bring the dumbbells back to just below the knee with the arms straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single DB Bent Over Row
Single Arm Bent Over Row
Wolf Complex
You could try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with the dumbbells between your feet. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns. If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or lunge or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly. For the lunges, you can always modify to shoulder or front rack or farmer carry hold and if you need to sub a lateral step up that's ok too! If you end up needing to make a lot of modifications to this movement you might want to consider the Shift verion to simplify things a bit more!
Pull Ups
For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Barbell Pull Ups Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.
Burpee
Pay attention to how you're able to manage the pressure along your abdominal wall and on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. In addition to the extra impact from jumping, the plank position can create a lot of demand for your core and pelvic floor. Feel free to sub: No push up burpee, Elevated burpee, Step back/forward burpee, Air Squat + Elevated Push Up, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull
