COACHES NOTES
This one is designed just to be a grunt-work mover workout. You're looking at each round taking 3:45-4:45 to finish in the goal time. Choose a weight for both of the carries that allows you to do 50m unbroken. For the floor press and bent over rows, choose a weight that will be challenging. You should have to break once or twice to complete each set of 20.

ALTERNATING FLOOR PRESS
This movement is basically a bench press from the floor. You may want to start seated with your dumbbells in your lap before lying back since it's tough to get them into position once you're lying down. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet planted. Pull your shoulder blades together and engage your abs. Lower one dumbbell so that your elbow tracks close to your side. Don't slam your elbow down! Be gentle! Pause for a half second then explode up to lock out. That's one rep. Switch arms each rep keeping the non-working arm locked out.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single DB Floor Press

SUITCASE CARRY
Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in one hand. Keep your chest up, shoulders back and belly tight. Switch hands at the halfway point. Take rest rather than allowing yourself to fall into a bad position.

For 100m, it should take about 1 minute. If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, just go 30 seconds out, switch hands and head back.

Do not allow your shoulders to shrug. Keep them drawn down and away from the ears with shoulder blades slightly retracted at all times. Keep the belly tight.

Score: Total Time

Goal: 18-24 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
This one is designed just to be a grunt-work mover workout. You're looking at each round taking 3:45-4:45 to finish in the goal time. If you're struggling to finish either of the 100m carries in a minute, consider reducing the distance or switch to a bear hug carry for one or both. Since it's difficult to change the weight of a sandbag, go ahead and reduce the reps of the floor presses if you're unable to get those 16 reps done in 1:30 or less. Same goes for the bent over slams if those are taking you a minute or less!

SANDBAG FLOOR PRESS
This movement is basically a bench press from the floor. You may want to start seated with your sandbag in your lap before lying back since it's tough to get it into position once you're lying down. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet planted. Pull your shoulder blades together and engage your abs. Lower the sandbag so that your elbows track close to your sides. Don't slam your elbows down! Be gentle! Pause for a half second then explode up to lock out.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

Push Ups

SANDBAG SUITCASE CARRY
Hold the sandbag in one hand. Keep your chest up, shoulders back and belly tight. Switch hands at the halfway point. Take rest rather than allowing yourself to fall into a bad position.

For 100m, it should take about 1 minute. If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, just go 30 seconds out, switch hands and head back.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Suitcase Carry March
Low Suitcase Carry Step Ups

BENT OVER SLAM
Set up with your feet shoulder with apart. Push your hips back, chest up slightly, belly tight and back is flat. Take a neutral grip or no-handle grip on the bag. You will maintain a hinged position as you pull the bag to your chest. Keep your belly tight as you aggressively extend your arms toward the floor and slam the bag back to the ground. The power comes from the speed at which you can push the bag away from you. So keep your base tight and think FAST with the arms.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Bent Over Row
Sandbag High Pull

SANDBAG OVERHEAD CARRY
Hold a sandbag overhead. You can hold the handles and have the bag hang down on the back of your forearms or hold the bottom of the bag - whatever works for you. Belly should be tight, shoulders back, and chest up. Keep your biceps near your ears and continue pressing up through the heels of your palms the entire carry. Take rest rather than allowing yourself to fall into a bad position.

For 100m, it should take about 1 minute. If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, just go 30 seconds out, switch hands and head back.

COACHES NOTES
This one is designed just to be a grunt-work mover workout. You and your partner are looking at each round taking 7-9 minutes to finish in the goal time. Choose a weight for both of the carries that allows you to do 100m unbroken. For the floor press and bent over rows, choose a weight that will be challenging. You should have to break once or twice to complete each set.

Farmer Carry

This can be a great movement for pregnant and postpartum Mamas. Focus on your posture, aligning your pelvis under your rib cage, and your breathing mechanics.

Overhead 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.
