* 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
WARM UP
Total Body Dumbbell Warm Up
Pull Up Warm Up
WORKOUT
75 KB/DB Swings
30 Strict Pull Ups - OR - 50 Supine Rows
75 KB/DB Swings
Every Minute on the Minute - 7 Push Ups
(No push ups in the first minute)
RX+: 10 push ups per minute /
50 Strict Pull Ups - OR - 70 Supine Rows
Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-18 Min
The 75 Swings should take 5 minutes or less. Pull ups no longer than 6-8 min. Fast singles are okay but you should be able to do at least 4-5 per minute.
Supine rows should be feet elevated if possible, using rings or a racked bar. Make them hard!
Do NOT do bent over rows as a sub with KB swings. Instead, go to 150 swings - 10 push ups per minute and ditch the pull.
For the swings, hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST, keep the belly tight and guide the weight overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
If you are newer to this movement, or if it feels more comfortable, just swing to about eye level.
For strict pull ups, you'll need to keep your whole body engaged and avoid using any momentum or swing. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and draw your shoulders down away from your ears. Arms should be completely straight. Squeeze your belly, your butt and your legs to create a tight position. Pull your body up until your chin is above the bar. Lower with control until arms are straight.
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.
To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

75 KB/DB Swings
Every Minute on the Minute - 7 Push Ups

The 75 Swings should take 5 minutes or less. Muscle ups, no longer than 6-8 min. Fast singles are okay but you should be able to do at least 4-5 per minute.
Muscle Up scales are suggested below but consider the strict pull up option if you would be scaling heavily and want to get more out of this workout.
For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the dumbbell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
If you are newer to this movement, or if it feels more comfortable, just swing to about eye level.
A muscle up is a combination of a big pull up, a transition, and a dip. Make sure you are proficient with pull ups and dips before attempting a muscle up in a workout. You may modify with jumping, banded, foot assisted etc. versions to practice the transition from the pull up into the dip.
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.
To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

KB SWING - If you notice and coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub a single arm swing!
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, or a more upright bar in rack pull up. To manage 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 or once you're more confident with managing the pressure in your core.
