WORKOUT

Min 2: 10 Weighted Step Up Overs
RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25#DBs
RX+ Men: 50# DBs - 12 Step Up Overs
RX+ Women: 35# DBs - 12 Step Up Overs
Score: Total Rounds Completed within the minute window (up to 16)
Goal: Complete all 16 min but make it a challenge
NOTES:
Ok guys - for this one we wanted to MAKE you try to hit that 200 in a minute or less which is why we wrote it as EMOM and not Every 2 Min on the min 200 + the step up overs. Try and see how it goes! If you are unable to keep that run pace you can treat the whole thing as an Every 2 Min - Run 200 + however many step up overs you are going to do.
With that said choose a weight and a number of step up overs that allows you to get at least 10-15 seconds rest at the end of the minute.
Your score is however many rounds you complete the prescribed work. If you alter the weight or the numbers that is TOTALLY fine. Just put what you did in comments!
For the run, you're looking to be able to knock out 200m in 1min or so, but most likely right around that 1min mark. If running isn't an option today, you can sub in :60 of double or single unders. Taps to a plate or low target, or even hop overs.
For the step-ups you will hold the DBs at your side, step up to the top of the box, and over to the other side. Put your whole foot on the box and don't allow the working knee to cave in!
Suggestion: once on top of the box, turn and step down backwards to the other side, being aware of keeping your chest up as you step down. This will allow you to avoid catching your toe or doing the awkward dead leg swing as your step down wit the DBs.
If you need to sub out the weighted step-ups, you can switch to one weight holding it in the goblet position. You can also lower the height at which you step up, or change to just a step up, no over, to a stair or bench or stack of plates as well. If weight is the issue you can lower or remove the weight completely as well. If step-ups are not an option switch to a forward stepping lunge, weighted or body-weight only depending on your situation.

For the row, 250m should take no more than :60, if it is as mentioned above make the adjustment to every 2min. For the bike, anywhere from :30-:60 for the cals, you can game this so that you are finishing around :45 or :50 enough time to take a couple breaths and go. You shouldn't be struggling off the bike into the step-ups, if you are again change to every 2min worth of work between bike and step-ups. If you choose to bike, this will have a different feeling on the legs. As we have said in the past J-E-L-L-OOOOO!
For the sandbag step-ups, you can hold the weight in the front rack, back rack or on either shoulder. To get the sandbag from ground to front rack, simply clean from the ground with good form, if you want to go to the back, pop the bag over the head and rest in the back rack. If going to put the weight on the shoulder, it would be a good idea to switch shoulders each round. Suggestion: once on top of the box, turn and step down backwards to the other side, being aware of keeping your chest up as you step down. This will allow you to avoid catching your toe or doing the awkward dead leg swing as your step down.
Subs for the step-ups, think about lowering the height at which you step up, you can also switch to just a step up or switch to forward stepping lunges w/sandbag.
