* 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
WORKOUT
12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)
8 Dumbbell Hang Clean and Jerks
24 Double Unders / DB Hop Overs
RX Men: 40-50# DBs
RX Women: 25-35# DBs
RX+ Men/Women: Increase Reps to 10 / 36
Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps
Goal: 8-11 Rounds
The goal is to maintain a pace of about 1:00-1:30 per round. A lot of it will come down to double under proficiency but make sure you choose a load that you can complete the 8 hang clean & jerks in around :30-:45, or 1-2 sets the whole way.
For the hang clean and jerk you will first deadlift the DBs to the waist. Your hands should be outside of the legs and the feet under the hips with the heels down. Arms are long and straight. You will dip by hinging at the hip slightly and bending the knees. From here you will basically jump (stand up hard and fast) and SHRUG to make the DBs weightless. Guide the weight UP the body by pulling the elbows high almost back behind you to keep the dumbbells close to the body (it's not a bicep curl). Pull YOURSELF down into a partial squat. Heels down, butt back, knees out, elbows high with the DBs on the shoulders, belly tight.
From here you will do a jerk. If you are tired, or this starts to feel heavy, you can stand and reset. If you are feeling good - it's more efficient to go straight into the jerk from the catch position of the clean. Stand up hard and fast to pop the weight off of the shoulders. Punch the DBs up as you press yourself back down underneath them. Land with the heels down, knees out. belly tight and the DBs locked out over the middle of your body - biceps by the ears. Stand to complete. Lower back to the hips for the next rep.
For the double unders, your rope will pass two times under your feet for every one jump. Keep your chest up and your landing soft. It's just like a single under but you jump a little higher and spin the rope faster using your wrists, not your arms!
For this workout you will want to choose a type/number of double unders that will allow you to finish that part in 30-40 seconds each time. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

CLEAN - 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.
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.
DOUBLE/SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or Calf Raises. 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 try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.
