BUTTS & GUTS | WEEK 34 | 08/16/2020

Part 1:

5 Rounds (Not for Time)
20 Pause Goblet Squats
15 Lunge + Lunge + Box Jump
10 Half Get Ups Right
10 Half Get Ups Left

Suggested weight for squats and get ups:
Men: 35-55# KB/DB
Women: 20-40# KB/DB

Score: the weight you used

Do the squats and get ups with the same weight, if you can! If not, no biggie. Just enter your score as the goblet squat weight and put the half get up weight in the comments.

For the pause goblet squats you will hold the weight at the chest and move to a SOLID (not relaxed) bottom of the squat position with the hips lower than the knees and chest up. Hold for 2 seconds. Then come up!

The lunge lunge jump is a reverse lunge right, reverse lunge left, two foot jump onto a box or something similar (all of that together is one rep). Make sure you are kissing the ground with the back knee for each lunge and driving off of the heel to stand. Jump height should be between 18-24 inches!

The half get up will be performed with a kb or dumbbell in your hand. You will lay flat on your back and extend the arm with the weight in front of you (like the top of a single arm bench press). Then you will keep your eyes on the weight and roll to your opposite elbow, lifting the weighted shoulder off of the ground. Then you will come up to the opposite hand. Roll back down slowly.

Part 2:

6 Minutes
30 Second Hollow Hold
30 Second Plank Hold
30 Second rest

(This will equal 4 total rounds)

For the hollow hold, lie with your back on the ground, arms overhead and legs straight. Squeeze your belly to press your lower back into the floor as you lift your feet and upper back. Keep your legs engaged by pointing your toes. If you find your lower back will not stay in contact with the floor, try bending one or both knees and/or lowering your arms to your sides.

Plank should be on the toes and the elbows. Do not allow yourself to sag. If you find that you are, modify by going to your hands or even to an elevated plank.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

REVERSE LUNGE STEP UP - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat, goblet squat, single leg deadlift, or hip thrust for the lunges.

LOVE TAPS AND WEIGHTED SIT UPS - Both of these movements put a lot of pressure on the core and the pelvic floor. If you are pregnant or in the rehab or rebuilding stages of postpartum you may want to sub Functional Progressions (See Mama Warm Ups for demos), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (See Mama Mods Movement Library)
