Coaches Notes

For this one, you'll cycle through 7 hang power cleans, 14 lunges, 7 presses, and 30 single unders or taps as many times as you can until 12 minutes are up!

Choose a weight for the hang cleans and the presses that will allow you to get those 7 reps done without needing to take a break for the entire workout. The lunges should take between 45-60 seconds. If holding a weight at your chest for those is proving too difficult, go with unweighted or even assisted lunges! The single unders or toe taps should be a quick part of the workout so don't get stuck on that for more than 30 seconds or so!

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 version to simplify things a bit more!

Double/Single Unders

If you're trying to manage the pressure on your pelvic floor, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout the movement. Check out the SP Mamas Resources blog post on Urinary Leakage with Exercise Troubleshooting for more strategies. Some other options for customizing are Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or Calf Raises.

Lunge/Weighted Lunge

If you're managing pubic symphysis or SI joint pain try focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. Adjusting how your breathe, your posture, and where you're holding tension in your body throughout the movement may help as well. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps, less range of motion, or stepping laterally onto something. Some other options for customizing are goblet squat, glute bridge, or split squats. Please visit the Mama Modifications Movement Library for more options and demonstrations.

Shoulder Press

If you’re trying to manage the pressure on your core and pelvic floor during this movement, you can start by simply doing something different with the way you’re breathing or how you’re holding tension in your body throughout this movement. If you feel like you need or want to customize further but still want to practice, you can try less reps or less weight. Some other options for customizing are Seated Shoulder Press or Front Raises..
