Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 25 Min
Okay guys so you want to finish this one in under 25 minutes so shoot for 4:30 rounds just to be safe.
The run should be 2:00 to 2:30 at the most. Pull ups and push ups combined, about a minute to 1:15. Same with the wall balls. So make sure you modify this one accordingly!
If you can't run due to weather, space etc, 2 minutes of jump rope, hop overs, toe taps or mountain climbers.
For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly, banded or ring/trx row. You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row if none of those other options are available. Avoid the bounce if using bands!
Choose a version you can do unbroken or in 2 sets with a short break.
Whatever you choose make sure that you start all the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all the way up at the top!
For the push up we want to see a rigid body position with shoulders above or beyond the wrists and hands just wider than shoulder width. Squeeze your butt, your thighs and your belly. No sagging hips or snaking.
Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you lower your chest and thighs to make contact with the floor. Stay engaged. Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.
Go from the knees elevate or hands if you need to.
For the wall balls hold the ball at your chest with the elbows tucked in. Feet under the shoulders with heels down. Chest up and belly tight! Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down. Drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No plopping or rounding! Use the power from your legs to help throw the ball!
When you catch it. Catch first and then squat.
For the wall balls the ideal target height is roughly 9-10', but whatever you can make work is fine! If you have low ceilings or no ball you can sub lightweight thrusters.
Since there is no program B, feel free to bust out the barbell. Or use a single heavy DB like the video!

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.
PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully with your breath, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. Or feel free to sub a floor press or bench press.
