COACHES NOTES
You should be getting a MINIMUM of 1 minute rest between rounds on this one. Ideally, closer to 2 minutes. Set yourself up on the hang pistons so that you can do at least 4 reps at a time. You are scoring both your fastest and your slowest round today. Really go for it on the run. We want you to send it in every round. If you do that, you'll have a decent amount of rest in each 6 minute window.
DUMBBELL HANG PISTON
1 Rep = 1 Hang Dumbbell Snatch + 1 Single Arm Overhead Lunge w/Right Leg + 1 Single Arm Overhead Lunge w/Left Leg.
Bring the dumbbell to the waist. Hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and belly tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely
Keeping your arm locked out overhead. Perform a lunge on each leg. You may perform forward or reverse lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step so that your front heel stays planted when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge.

ROW/BIKE
You're working with 2:00-2:30. Reduce the calories as needed to fit the time window.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Reduce calories
Run/Jog
To manage or 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.
Lunge
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 step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge.
You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.
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.
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.
