PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Dumbbell Clean Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 Rounds

Each Round is:

20 Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans
Run 200 Meters
20 Dumbbell Step Up Overs
Run 200 Meters

Rest 1 Min Between Rounds

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

RX+ Men: 50# DBs
RX+ Women: 35# DBs

**Can also use your sandbag with this version.

Score: Slowest Round ONLY

Goal: 4-6 Min

Choose a load on the hang cleans that allows for minimal breaks. At most 3 sets each time. Try to keep your breaks short. Step up overs should take about a minute.

For the DB hang power clean, deadlift the DBs to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms and hands just outside of the legs. Feet are under the hips. Bend the knees, keep the heels down, and slightly hinge at the hips.

Keep the arms straight. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high as you pull yourself down. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulders with the elbows high.

Catch in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep, then lower the weight back to the hips for the next rep.

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 these step up and overs you can hold the dumbbells at your waist or on your shoulders. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box. Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in. You may step off of the front if you are comfortable or turn around on top of the box and step off that way.

For the box height roughly 24" for fellas and 20" for ladies. If you don't have a box, use a bench, if you don't have a bench, you can step up on to a stair as you would a normal step up or use a stack of plates.

Nothing to step on at all? Sub lunges!

Feel free to lower the weight all of the way down to nothing if you need to!

PROGRAM B

WARM UP
Full Body Dynamic Warm Up
Barbell Clean Warm Up

WORKOUT

Each Round is:

20 Barbell Hang Power Cleans

Run 200 Meters

Rest 1 Min Between Rounds

RX Men: 75#-95#
RX Women: 55-65#

RX+ Men: 115#+
RX+ Women: 75#+

Score: Slowest Round ONLY

Goal: 4-6 Min

Choose a load on the hang cleans that allows for minimal breaks. At most 3 sets each time. Try to keep your breaks short. Step ups/overs should take about a minute.

Remember you can mix and match equipment with this one. Barbell is step up only, not over!

For the hang power clean, deadlift the bar to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms. Hands just outside of the legs and feet are under the hips. Bend the knees and keep your heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips. Keep the arms straight and the bar close to the body. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close as you pull yourself down under it.

Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the bar to land on the shoulders with the elbows high. Land in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep, then lower the bar back to the hips for the next rep.

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 step ups you will have the barbell on your back. Height for step up should be 22-24" for Men and 18-20" for women. If you can make that happen and it is a safe and challenging but comfortable height for you - go for it! Otherwise, lower the height of the box or switch to lunges.

Place your WHOLE foot on the box when stepping up. Make sure you drive through the heel and stand all of the way up - don't allow your knee to cave in as you stand. Alternate feet at the BOTTOM of each step. Each time you step up counts as 1 rep. So for a set of 20 you end up doing 10 per side.

Note that you could also use your sandbag for these or do DB Step Up OVERS like in Program A.

Modify to back rack lunges if those feel better.

POWER CLEAN - You could try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with 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.

KB SWING - If you notice any 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 an Outside KB Swing or a Single Arm Swing.

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, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock. 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.

STEP UPS/DB STEP UP OVERS - 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 or shorter step/less range of motion. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping forward and up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to sub: Single Leg Glute Bridge, Hip Thrusts, Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat
