PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Pull Up Warm Up
Dumbbell Clean Warm Up

WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: Dumbbell "OCHO"

4 Rounds

Each Round is a 3 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible)

6 Pull Ups
6 Dumbbell Hang Squat Cleans

Rest 1 Min Between Each 3 Min AMRAP

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+ Men: 50# DBs  / Take Reps up to 8 + 8
RX+ Women: 35# DBs / Take Reps up to 8 + 8

Strict Pull Up Option: Lower reps to 3 - 6 Strict Pull Ups every round.

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds (6-6) + Any Additional Reps From all 4 AMRAPS combined.
Goal: 16 Total Rounds

So just to clarify the scoring, let's say in the first round you get 3 rounds plus 11 additional reps. Then in the other rounds you get 4 rounds plus 3 reps, 4 rounds plus 7 reps, and 3 rounds plus 10 reps. Your score would be total rounds: 3 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 14 plus any additional reps: 11 + 3 + 7 + 10 = 31.

Moral of the story is you have to average at least 4 rounds per 3 min AMRAP in order to hit the goal of 16 total rounds! Choose your load and pull up variation to allow for this!

For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly 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.

Banded isn't the BEST option for this workout because it takes time getting in and out and we want quick transitions today.

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 hang squat clean you will deadlift the DBs to the hips with hands just outside the legs. Your feet are between hip and shoulder width, heels down. Stand tall. Tighten the belly. Arms straight. Reach the hips back slightly and bend the knees to dip. Keep the DBs back and arms straight. Stand up hard and fast! Shrug the shoulders. Pull the DBs up the body with the elbows high and back and pull YOURSELF DOWN at the same time. You will rotate the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat.

In this squat position heels are down, knees out, chest up, belly tight, butt lower than knees, no plopping or rounding, elbows high! Drive through the heels and drive knees out to stand. Lead with chest and elbows, stand fully to complete each rep. For the next rep you will lower the DBs back to the hips.

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. 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.

SQUAT CLEAN - You could try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with a wider stance and the dumbbells between your feet. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

GOBLET SQUATS - If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or if you find yourself bearing down to get out of the bottom, try subbing a target or assisted squat to shorten the range of motion. A box squat is always a great idea especially during pregnancy to strengthen the posterior chain and balance out the growing belly.
