* Indicates the original version of the workout. This means when the workout was programmed, this is the version the coach had in mind. We adapt this workout to fit the other equipment variations. As always, pick a version of the workout that works for you, your schedule, and equipment available.
PROGRAM A

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs
RX+ Men/Women: Go every 4 Min.

Score: Slowest Round ONLY!
Goal: Under 4 Min
So at 0:00 start the first round. Once you finish the push presses, rest until the 5:00 mark at which time you start the second round. The faster you complete each round, the more time you get to rest BUT your score is your slowest round so the goal is to be consistent across all 5 rounds. Choose a load on the push presses you think you can go unbroken or close to it the whole way.
For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.
For the air squats - set up with feet shoulder width apart. Reach your butt back and down, with heels down, drive your knees out and keep your chest up. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom and stand all the way up at the top of each rep.
For the push press hold a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart. Chest up. Belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip. Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast. As the DBs pop up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.
Finish with biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.
JERK/PRESS - Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over-extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.
