PROGRAM A

WARM UP
TOTAL BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

5 Rounds

20 Alternating Single Arm Dumbbell Snatch
15 Dumbbell Thrusters

Suggested Weight
Men: 40# DBs
Women: 25# DBs

Extra Challenge
Men: 50# DBs
Women: 35# DBs

Score: Total Time

Goal: 10-15 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
This workout is rude. Each round should take 2-3 minutes. Choose a weight that you can complete the snatches and thrusters each in 1-2 sets for at least the first few rounds, if not the whole way through. If you need to break it up more in the later rounds, you can still hit the goal but just remember we want you to be moving and not taking long breaks. Keep your belly tight and chest up in both movements to avoid lighting up your lower back.

DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So for each set of 20 you end up doing 10 per side.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Dumbbell Hang Power Snatches

DUMBBELL THRUSTER
The DBs will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the DBs on the shoulders and elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the DBs off of the body. Press the DBs straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead - biceps by the ears.

18 Sandbag Thrusters

Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time

Goal: 10-15 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
This workout is rude. Each round should take 2-3 minutes. The ground to overheads and thrusters should each be completed in 1-2 sets for at least the first few rounds, if not the whole way through. If you need to break it up more in the later rounds, you can still hit the goal but just remember we want you to be moving and not taking long breaks. Keep your belly tight and chest up in both movements to avoid lighting up your lower back. If you are working with a heavier bag and only able to do a few reps at a time, consider reducing the overall reps to around 15 each round for one or both movements.

SANDBAG GROUND TO OVERHEAD
Grab hold of the overhand or neutral handles, bend your knees and lift your chest up. Keep the heels down. With your back flat and belly tight, stand up with the sandbag by driving through the heels and lifting the chest. Explode UP with the legs and hips. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbow high and outside. Then PUNCH the sandbag to lock out finishing with the biceps by the ear!

Move the face out of the way and press the sandbag straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust reps based on bag weight
Shoulder to Shoulder Thrusters

DB Snatch

You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS.

Thruster/Wallball

To focus on managing proper posture, breathing mechanics, core pressurization, and/or joint stability, sub: DB/WB Thruster, Lower Target Wall Ball Toss, Box/Target Supported Squat for Wall Ball, DB Goblet Squat + Press, or Air Squat

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.

DB/Back/Front/Air Squat

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.

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.
