Idea Weight for Men: 35-50# KB / 20-25# DBs
Idea Weight for Women: 12-25# KB / 10-15# DBs

Score: Total Time
Goal: 15 Min or Less

NOTES:
Time Cap: 20 Min - For this one you have options for your Burpee Step Ups!

You can do a regular full push up from the feet burpee into a high 20" or so step up. You can do a knee push up burpee + high step up. You can do a no push up burpee step up. You can lower the step up. You can even do an elevated burpee!

Find something that works for you and will allow you do keep moving!

For the step up part - do your best to alternate feet per step or you could even just alternate for each round. The main point is that you don't step up with the same foot for the whole thing!

Make sure you are stepping up on a height that you are comfortable stepping both UP and down!

For the goblet squats you will hold the kb or db at the chest. Stand tall and tighten the belly. With the feet shoulder width apart you will reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down. Drive the knees out. Keep that chest UP! Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom if possible. You may use a target to help you find your depth if you need to! If you are unable to get that low with weight - you can ditch it. If you are unable to get that low in a good position in general - then you may squat to a higher target! We would rather have you go all of the way down with no weight than go only partially down with weight though.

For the push press you will hold a single db or kb at the chest OR 2 lighter dumbbells at the shoulders. You will dip down keeping your chest up and weight in your heels. This is just a SMALL dip and is NOT a squat! You will use the power from your legs to help you drive the weight up over your head. Lock the elbows completely and pull it back over the middle of the body. Keep the belly tight!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

BURPEE STEP UP -

Mamas, today we are honoring Coach Molly and Baby Grizz! Let's try to remember that and find a modification that allows you to honor where you are in your own motherhood transition while still staying close to the intended movement. Some good options to modify these would be: No push up burpees,Step back/forward burpee, or stepping up on to a lower height. If you are managing diastasis in pregnancy or early postpartum and notice and coning in the plank position of the burpee feel free to sub an Elevated Burpee (hands on box, step or hop feet back, modified/elevated push up, step/hop feet forward). Or you can try stepping back to a Table Top or High Bear Position without the push up. You could event do an elevated push up + air squat + step up.

DB PUSH 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.

This workout was originally posted on July 20, 2018! 5 Days after Molly's son - Baby Grizz - was born!
Post from that day:
This workout is dedicated to our new addition to the Street Parking Team - Maxwell Grizzly Vollmer! He was born on July 15, 2018!

Goal: 6 Rounds or more!

NOTES:
This one is going to REALLY add up! And it's supposed to! It's to honor Molly giving birth for crying out loud!!

For the burpee pull ups you will drop down to the bottom of a push up by either stepping or jumping back. Then you will jump or step your feet in and jump up to the pull up bar and complete a pull up!

Ideally the pull up bar should be at a height that you can't reach if you are standing under it flat footed so you have to actually jump to get to it. If it is lower we recommend you grab it, hang completely and then do your pull up.

In the past we have said that you can jump and catch with a bent elbow and pull straight through - this time we want each pull up to start with a complete hang.

If you are unable to do a pull up yet- no problem! You can do a burpee into a jumping pull up each time!

No pull up bar? For this workout you will sub bar facing burpees.

For the thrusters you will clean the bar up to the shoulders. Keep the elbows in front. Feet are shoulder width apart and heels are down. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the chest and elbows up! Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down! Do not PLOP or allow the back to round at the bottom.

From the bottom of the squat position you will stand hard and fast and pop the bar off of the shoulder using the power from your legs. Move your face out of the way and press the bar STRAIGHT UP! The movement finishes with he bar locked out over head and over the middle of the body!

This should be a weight that you can do 15 in a row if you wanted to. Not to say that's a good idea. But you could if you wanted to. Scale down more if you need to!

NOTES:
For the hang dumbbell/kb snatches you will do 10 on one side then 10 on the other. These don't have to come from the ground each time, just from the "hang" or the waist.

You will hold the weight in one hand and stand fully. Feet should be about shoulder width apart with the heels down.

You will reach your butt back and allow a slight bend in your knees as you bring the weight back between your legs with a straight arm. Make sure the chest is up and belly tight.

Stand up hard and fast to help you move the weight! Shrug and then PUNCH the weight up overhead to a locked out position with the bicep by the ear! Lower under control into the next rep!

Always heels down and chest up!

For the sit ups you will touch the ground behind you and come up and touch your toes at the top. If you are unable to come all of the way up without assistance you may try using a small pull on a band or towel. Do not YANK yourself up and down if you do this. These should be slow and controlled.

If you are unable to do sit ups at this time some other great alternatives are deadbugs or slam balls!

Make sure if you are a pregnant or recently postpartum mama that you check out the Mama Modifications below and join the Street Parking Pregnant/Postpartum FB Group!

HANG DUMBBELL SNATCH -

Focus on your posture and maintaning a neutral spine throughout the enitre movements. If you find that you are coning in your belly or over extending in your lower back in the overhead position feel free to sub shoulder height kettle bell swings.

SIT UPS -
This movement 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:BIRTHFIT Functional Progressions (see the Warm Up videos in the Member's Only website), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Palloff Press, BIRTHFIT Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws.

NOTES:

Cut Off: 15 Min - Pick a weight that won't allow you to last this long! If you are moving it this easy - it's too light.

Okay so the goal is to make it 10 minutes or more but make sure you pick a weight that allows you to get to a MINIMUM of 8 minutes.

So ditch the weight for the sit ups if necessary.
Choose a weight your can do 5 sit ups easily in the first few rounds.

Choose a load on the hang power snatches you can perform at least 10 unbroken reps.

Cut off is 15 minutes MAX.

For the hang power snatch you will start with a wide grip and deadlift the bar up to the waist. Feet should be under the hips with the heels down. Arms are long and straight. Dip by bending the knees slightly and hinging at the hip slightly (keep the back flat and chest lifted). Keep the bar close to the body and let it slide down the leg. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders (keep the bar close)! Pull the elbows high and outside (scarecrow) as you pull under the bar slightly. Catch the bar in a partial overhead squat. Stand fully to complete the rep. Lower the bar back to the waist.

You can do anything you want with your feet in the sit ups. Hold a dumbbell at your chest. Start with your shoulders on the ground and sit all the way up until your shoulders go past your hips. Of course - lower the weight if necessary to keep moving.

If you don't have a dumbbell, use a plate or any other object you can move with.

If weighted situps aren't happening do regular situps without the weight.

So ditch the weight for the sit ups if necessary.
Choose a weight your can do 5 sit ups easily in the first few rounds.

Choose a load on the hang power snatches you can perform at least 16 unbroken alternating reps.

Cut off is 15 minutes MAX.

For the single DB Hang Power Snatches you will bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will 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 with it still there to complete the rep!

Lower back to the waist and switch hands. You will alternate hands with each rep for these so in the 6th minute for example, you will be doing 12 reps which is 6 with each arm.

You can do anything you want with your feet in the sit ups. Hold one dumbbell at your chest. Start with your shoulders on the ground and sit all the way up until your shoulders go past your hips. Of course - lower the weight if necessary to keep moving.

If you need something lighter than the dumbbells you have, use a plate or any object you can move with.

If weighted situps aren't happening do regular situps without the weight.

NOTES:

This one can literally be done ANYWHERE! As long as you can find a random coffee table, bench, or ottoman to step on - you've got your workout!

You may choose what you want to do for the first part. So you can jog, bike, row - or do mtn climbers or jump rope!

Make sure you move for the full minute at an uncomfortable but sustainable pace!

For the step ups make sure that you are comfortable with stepping up and down. Alternate feet with each step.

Make sure you place your whole foot on the step and drive through the heel to stand completely on top. Don't allow the working knee to cave in as you stand.

If you absolutely have nothing to step up on you can sub single leg deadlifts or lunges!

RUN/JOG -

To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, SU, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups.
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.
STEP UPS -
If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do smaller or shorter step/less range of motion. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping forward and up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to

NOTES:
Pro Tip - This is a super fun one to sub the run for the sled. Distance 100M or something that takes roughly 1 min.

You could ALSO swap the dumbbells for a sandbag step up over in this version.

Anytime you see a workout where the score is your slowest round, the goal is consistency with your pacing.

You want to go fast enough in the first round that it is certainly challenging. But, you don't want to go all out, max effort so you are completely gassed for rounds 4 and 5.

Remember you get 2 minutes to recover between each round which may allow you to push the pace a bit more.

For the 200m run, you're working with roughly 45-75 seconds.

If working with the sled choose a weight you can jog for 45 seconds each round.

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min doubles/singles/low step ups/Mtn Climbers/taps to a low target.

For these step up and overs you can hold the dumbbells at your waist or on your shoulders. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box. Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in. You may step off of the front if you are comfortable or turn around on top of the box and step off that way.

A rough estimate for box height is 22-24" for men and 18-20" for women.

Make sure you choose a load that you are comfortable stepping up AND down.

For the run, you're working with roughly 45-75 seconds. Adjust the distance if you need to, just do it at the beginning and not every round!

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min doubles/singles/low step ups/Mtn Climbers/taps to a low target.

For the step ups you will have the barbell on your back. Height for step up should be 22-24" for Men and 18-20" for women. If you can make that happen and it is a safe and challenging but comfortable height for you - go for it! You will place your WHOLE foot on the box. Use a lower box if you need to!

Make sure you drive through the heel and stand all of the way up - don't allow your knee to cave in as you stand. Alternate feet at the BOTTOM of each step.

Each time you step up counts as 1 rep. So for a set of 16 you end up doing 8 per side.

NOTES:
You will want to choose a weight that it will be challenging but manageable to do those sets of 6 strict press. You will then use that same weight for the swings - with the option of going heavier on those if you really want to. Up to you. Those should be in no more than 2 sets each time.

For the single arm strict press you will hold a single dumbbell or kb at the shoulder. Using no assistance from your lower body you will press the weight straight UP! Finish with the weight over the middle of your body and the bicep by the ear.

Keep the belly tight on these and avoid overextending or leaning back. You can even sit down if you want!

You will do 6 on one side then 6 on the other.

For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Hinge forward at the hips and allow a slight bend of the knee. Pull the weight through the legs and keep the chest up (no round back) and belly tight! Stand up hard and fast to help make the bell weightless as you guide it to eye level with your upper body.

Arms stay pretty straight. Belly tight. Heels down.

Allow gravity to bring the weight back down, but don't let it pull YOU forward. Keep the belly tight and the heels down!

MOVEMENT TIP

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

SINGLE ARM STRICT 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, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.
KB SWING -
If you notice and 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 a single arm swing!

NOTES:

This is a shoulder smoker so make sure you focus on good positions and keeping your belly tight!

We gave a little variance on the women's strict press so go with what allows you to keep your ribs down and core engaged on every rep.

Strict press starts with the bar on your shoulders, full grip with elbows in front. Feet are hip to shoulder width apart. Squeez your butt, your quads and your belly. Keep your chest up, ribcage down. Press the bar straight up so you have to pull your face out of the way to clear a path. Finish with arms locked out overhead, biceps by the ears.

To lower, move your face out of the way and keep your elbows in front of the bar.

Same set up position as the strict press for the push jerk.

Dip keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back. Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward. From here you will stand up hard and fast. Drive the power from the legs into the bar. Move your face out of the way and think of pressing the bar up as you press YOURSELF DOWN under it. Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).

You will land with your weight in your heels, knees bent and out, butt back, and bar locked out over the middle of your body. Press into the bar and keep the belly tight. Stand completely.

When lowering the bar back to the shoulders absorb with the knees and either go into the next rep or re-set for the next rep.

You will deadlift the bar to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - you will pull the elbows back and bring the bar to just below the chest. Keep the belly tight. Bring the bar back to just below the knee with the arm straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

Dumbbell Shoulder Warm Up

WORKOUT

6 Rounds
6 Alternating DB Strict Press
9 DB Push Jerks
12 Double Dumbbell Bent Over Rows

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+ Men: 50# DBs
RX+ Women: 35# DBs

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 12 Min

NOTES:

The alternating DB strict press is with dumbbells at the shoulders right + left 3 times. Jerks are both together. Bent over rows are both together.

This is a shoulder smoker, so make sure you move well and keep a neutral spine and tight belly the whole time.

Note that for the strict presses your arms alternate the movement, and your arms move together on the jerks and rows.

Set up for the strict press with the DBs on the shoulders with elbows high. Feet under your hips, heels down. Keep the rib cage down and belly tight. Press one dumbbell straight up until your elbow is locked out with bicep by the ears. Bring the dumbbell all the way down to the shoulder then press with the other arm. Each time you press is one rep so 6 reps is 3 on each arm.

For the push jerks, set up like you would for the strict press.

Dip keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back. Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward. From here you will stand up hard and fast. Drive the power from the legs into the DBs. Think of pressing the weight up as you press YOURSELF DOWN under it. Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).

You will land with your weight in your heels, knees bent and out, butt back, and DBs locked out over the middle of your body - biceps by the ears. Press into the DBs and keep the belly tight. Stand completely.

When lowering the DBs back to the shoulders absorb with the knees and either go into the next rep or re-set for the next rep.

For the double dumbbell bent over rows, you will deadlift the dumbbells to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - you will pull the elbows back and bring the dumbbells to just below the chest. Keep the belly tight. Bring the dumbbells back to just below the knee with the arms straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

Dumbbell Shoulder Warm Up

WORKOUT

6 Rounds
6 Seated Sandbag Strict Press
9 Side to Side Sandbag Push Press
12 Sandbag Bent Over Slam

No RX or RX+ for the bag weight.

Roughly Men should use 50-70#
Women - 30-45#

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 15 Min

NOTES:
This is a shoulder smoker, so make sure you stay in control, move well, and always keep your belly tight!

Use the bag you've got so for heavier bags, adjust the reps on the strict press as needed.

For the seated press, sit up tall on the floor with legs out in front of you and a neutral spine. Chest up, ribcage down.

You may bend your knees slightly if unable to keep the natural curvature of your spine.

Start with the bag on your shoulders/biceps, elbows high. Keep your belly tigh as you press the bag straight up overhead. Lock out your arms at the top with biceps by the ears.

For the side to side push press you will have your sandbag on one shoulder. Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart. Chest up. Belly tight. Dip keeping the heels down and allowing the knees to come forward. Reach the hips back slightly but keep the chest lifted.

Stand up hard and fast. Pop the sandbag off of the shoulder and finish with a press straight to lock out. Biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight. Lower the bag down onto the opposite shoulder. Each time you press counts as one rep. So
reps is 5 one side and 4 on the other, you'll finish your reps on the opposite shoulder from where you started.

For the bent over slams, 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, roughly shoulder width apart. You will maintain a hinged position as you pull the bag to your chest. Pull your elbows up and back, don't let them track out wide.

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.

MOVEMENT TIP

When you Reach 4 Min -
REST 1 MIN
Repeat 2 More Times!

Idea weight for Men: 35-55# Single KB or DB - or - Pair of Lighter Dumbbells
Idea weight for Women: 12-35# Single KB/DB - or - Pair of Lighter Dumbbells

Score: Total Rounds from each AMRAP + any additional reps from each AMRAP added together
Goal: 10 Total Rounds +

NOTES:

For this workout you will start the clock and complete as many rounds as you can of 8 hop or skip overs and 8 deadlifts.

When the 4 min is up you will rest 1 min.

Do that a total of 3 times - writing down how many rounds you do in each 4 min window.

When you start a new 4 min window - start over.

For the hop or skip overs you will face one dumbbell, or you could even jump over a line on the ground. You will jump over it with both feet and turn around and jump back over it on the other side. Each jump over counts as 1 rep.

If you aren't comfortable jumping with both feet you may do more of like a skip step over.

If you are unable to do the skip step you may sub box or stair step ups.

For the deadlifts you will either have the weight between the feet or on the outsides of the feet. If using dumbbells only one head of the dumbbell will need to touch the ground at the bottom of each rep.

Make sure the weight is pulled back close to the body. The heels are down, chest is up, arms are straight, belly tight, and knees are slightly bent - wit the butt back.

To stand you will think about digging your heels into the ground and squeezing your butt!

When you are standing or lowering - don't allow any roundness in the back. Keep the heels down and make sure to always resend the knees at the bottom.

JUMP OVERS/PLATE HOPS -

To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from jumping and hopping can create, feel free to sub: Taps, Quick Step Ups, Skip Overs, Lateral Hop Overs, Lateral Skip Overs, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag.
KB/DB Deadlift -

If your pregnant and the shape of your belly is making reaching the floor difficult or if you're postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift or elevate the DBs/KB so its not so low to the ground when you pick it up. If you are working on healing any pelvic floor dysfunction make sure you are able to breathe properly throughout the entire range of motion and that you are not bracing or bearing down.

Goal: 8 Total Rounds +

NOTES:

3 minutes of two explosive movements is a great way to trap some peacocks!

Instead, you might consider trying something a little heavier for the power cleans rather than going for a ton of rounds.

1 minute of rest between rounds is nice but it will go by super quick. Focus on deep breaths and long exhales to help you recover during this time.

For the box jumps you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24" for men and 18-20" for women if you can! 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! Stand all of the way up on your box/bench. You may also sub step ups. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

We would love to see you actually jump if possible! Even if you are jumping on a few stacked bumper plates or over your laundry basket!

If jumping is out of the question you can do step ups or reverse lunges.

For the power cleans, the bar will start on the ground. Hands will be outside of the legs. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, bar is close to the body, chest is up, arms are straight. Stand by driving the heels down and lifting the chest. Stand up hard and fast (jump) SHRUG the shoulders. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to get the bar on the shoulder with the elbows high. As you shoot the elbows around you will pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Stand fully to complete the movement.

Just make sure to open with a pace that you can maintain so you don't end up sputtering out in that last bike or row.

For the bike option, make sure you breathe and use your whole body as a unit. Use your arms to push and pull to assist your foot in driving the pedal around.

For the row option, try to avoid rounding the back to far forward on the way in or leaning too far back on the way out. Remember to drive into the footplate with your legs, then open your hips and lean back slightly and THEN pull with your arms to bring the handle to the middle of your torso. The chain should remain flat the whole way out and back in.

MOVEMENT TIP

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

RUN/JOG -

To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, SU, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. 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.
AIR SQUATS -
Because of the number and volume of squats you might want to consider reducing the number of reps or scaling the range of motion to a target like a bench or a chair. You could also add in a minute of rest between round to manage your pace, breathing, and recommit to practicing your form and posture.
