10 Rounds
7 Dumbbell Thrusters
7 Toes to Bar / V - Ups
RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs
RX+ Men: 50# DBs
RX+ Women: 35# DBs
Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 15 Min
Choose a load on the thrusters that will allow you to go unbroken the whole way! If doing toes to bar, you might try breaking the reps into a couple smaller sets with super short breaks to give your grip a break.
For the thrusters the DBs will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the DBs on the shoulders and elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the DBs off of the body. Press the DBs straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead - biceps by the ears.
Toes to bar starts with you hanging from the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulders, shoulders drawn down away from your ears and arms straight. Think about pushing the bar out in front of you so your shoulders travel back behind the bar as you raise your toes up to touch bar between your hands.
The other option is V-Ups, from a hollow position on the floor, raise your torso and legs up in the air at the same time so your hands touch your feet directly above your hips. Keep your legs straight and squeezed together tight!
For subs for the T2B you can use Knee-Ups, supine toe touches, or regular sit-ups.
For our mamas, try deadbugs or ball slams!

You can also do side to side thrusters, where you start with the bag on one shoulder.
Reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the sandbag on the biceps and keeping the elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the sandbag off of the body. Move the face out of the way and press the sandbag straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

TOES TO BAR - This movement and it's scaled version of Knee Raises puts A LOT of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. Please consider risk vs.reward when deciding if this movement is right for you. If you feel confident with your core and pelvic floor health you can always try fewer reps to notice and manage any symptoms. You can also SUB: BIRTHFIT Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, BIRTHFIT Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks.
SIT UPS - This movement puts A LOT of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. Please consider risk vs.reward when deciding if this movement is right for you. If you feel confident with your core and pelvic floor health you can always try fewer reps to notice and manage any symptoms.
