PROGRAM A
WARM UP
Box Jump Warm Up
Pull Up Warm Up
WORKOUT
Consider supine rows, bent over rows, or V-ups as a sub if you did Murph over the weekend!
3 Rounds (For Time)
20 Pull Ups
30 Box Jump Overs
20 Toes To Bar / V- Ups
Rest 1 Min Between Rounds
RX Men: 20-24in Box
RX Women: 16-20in Box
RX+ Men/Women: 4 Rounds - ONLY IF - you finish first 3 Rounds UNDER 17 Min (Including Rest)
Strict Pull Up Option: 10-15 Strict Pull Ups per Round (depending on Strict Pull Up ability)
Score: Total Time (including rest)
Goal: 16-21 Minutes
Choose a pull up variation that allows at least 5 reps at a time with short breaks in between.
Box jump overs should take less than 2 minutes. Lower the height if you need to.
Break up the toes to bar to save your grip. Shoot for 1:30-2:00 to get through them.
For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly or ring/trx row. You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row if none of those other options are available. You may do banded pull ups but control the descent and be sure to avoid the bounce out of the bottom.
Whatever you choose make sure that you start all the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all the way up at the top!
For the box jump overs, choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in for women if you can! You'll just jump onto the box, then step off the other side to complete the rep. If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in!
If you don't have something to jump on and then over - just find something to jump OVER!
If you are unable to jump at this time - even if you go way low - you may sub step up and overs. We prefer you to jump if possible!
Toes to bar starts with you hanging from the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulders, shoulders drawn down away from your ears and arms straight. Think about pushing the bar out in front of you so your shoulders travel back behind the bar as you raise your toes up to touch bar between your hands.
If you don't have a pull up bar, sub with V-Ups.
Or, modify to Knee-Ups, Supine Toe Touches or regular sit-ups if you need to!
Mamas, go with ball slams or Russian KB/DB swings. Check out members only for a full list of mama modifications.
PROGRAM C
WARM UP
Box Jump Warm Up
Pull Up Warm Up
WORKOUT
Consider supine rows, bent over rows, or V-ups as a sub if you did Murph over the weekend!
3 Rounds (For Time)
6-8 Muscle Ups (Bar or Ring)
30 Box Jump Overs
20 Toes To Bar / V- Ups
Rest 1 Min Between Rounds
RX Men: 20-24in Box
RX Women: 16-20in Box

Strict Pull Up Option: 10-15 Strict Pull Ups per Round (depending on Strict Pull Up ability)
Score: Total Time (including rest)
Goal: 16-21 Minutes
Choose muscle up number and style/modification to allow all reps to be done in under 90 seconds at least for the first 2 rounds.
Box jump overs should take less than 2 minutes. Lower the height if you need to.
Break up the toes to bar to save your grip. Shoot for 1:30-2:00 to get through them.
A muscle up is a combination of a big pull up, a transition, and a dip. Make sure you are proficient with pull ups and dips before attempting a muscle up in a workout. You may modify with jumping, banded, foot assisted etc. versions to practice the transition from the pull up into the dip. Make sure you still choose something challenging.
For the box jump overs, choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in for women if you can! You'll just jump onto the box, then step off the other side to complete the rep. If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in!

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises. Kipping Pull Ups should only be added back into the later stages of Rebuilding in PP once the rehab is complete and athlete shows proficiency in strict movements.
BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. The SHIFT options for smaller Jump/Skip Overs are good for helping you achieve the stimulus with a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or busting up your shins! For mamas further along in their Postpartum you can try a lower height of box to practice that two foot take off and landing without the extra impact. Focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.
TOES TO BAR - This movement and it's scaled version of Knee Raises or V-Ups puts A LOT of pressure on the core and pelvic floor. Please consider risk vs. reward when deciding if this movement is right for you. If you feel confident with your core and pelvic floor health you can always try fewer reps to notice and manage any symptoms. You can also SUB: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.
SIT UPS - Sit ups are a really big demand for the core and pelvic floor and for the most part are not recommended during pregnancy and the rehab/rebuilding stages of postpartum. If you are ready to start incorporating them you can try less reps, less range of motion (i.e. with pillows behind you), or supported with a band. However you can always sub one of the following movements: Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)
