Women: 18-20"

Sub Option: Swap V-Ups if you don't have a bar to hang from!

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 16 Min. Can you go under 13?

Set yourself up to be able to do at least 10 squats at a time the whole way through.

Choose a version of toes to bar you can do 5 reps at a time, the whole way.

For these squats hold the DBs at the shoulder. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Stand all the way up at the top.

If you need to go lighter, switch to goblet squats with a single dumbbell or kettlebell, or good old fashioned air squats!

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!

For the box jumps you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24in for men and 18-20in 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 lunges. 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!

These squats start with the bar on the back. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

TOES TO BAR - This movement and its 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.

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.

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)

DB/AIR SQUATS - 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.

MONDAY SHIFT 06/01/2020

Welcome back to the Street Parking Vault. This is the workout of the day today - but also the TWENTY SECOND workout in the 25 weekly workout series - The Street Parking Vault! Perform ANY VERSION (including SHIFT) of this workout and record your score before 5pm PST on Saturday - June 6th to receive credit for participating this week!

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as
Possible in 12 Min)

10 Air Squats
10 Sit Ups / Alternating V-Ups
10 Low Jump Overs or Line Skip Overs (Facing)

No weight needed today!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 7 Rounds +

For this workout, you will do 10 squats, 10 sit-ups, and 10 low jump overs (facing) for 12 minutes!

For the air squats you will have the feet shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get your butt lower than your knees at the bottom with the chest up and belly still tight! Drive through the heels and drive the knees out to stand completely.

If you have a tendency to collapse at the bottom you may try using a counter balance or do an assisted squat. If you have pain or issue in the bottom from current or past injury or issue - you may choose to squat to a slightly higher target. Still focus on heels down, knees out, chest up!

If you'd like to make the squats more difficult, hold a KB or DB at your chest for Goblet Squats!

For the sit ups you can do whatever you like with your feet, but we would love to see you come all of the way up at the top and touch your toes. If you need to add a little assistance like a stretchy band or rope attached to a pole to come all the way up - go for it!

No sit ups or crunching right now? You may try a dead bug, slam balls or an eye level KB Swing.

For the Low Jump Over you will stand facing the Dumbbell/KB and jump over it. Then you will turn around and jump back over the object. You can scale to a line if you are intimidated to go over something. You can also sub a little skip over the object, a line, or a plate. Whichever option you choose make sure you are facing the object, not lateral.

If jumping or skipping is out of the questions you can perform a difficult step up.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

RUN/JOG - To 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. 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.

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.

TUESDAY SHIFT 06/02/2020
SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

5 Rounds (For Time)
12 DB/KB Hang Power Cleans
1 Min Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Under, Low Step Ups
12 Ring Rows / Bent Over Rows
1 Min Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Under, Low Step Ups

Idea weight for Men: 20-40# DBs - or - Single DB/KB
Idea weight for Women: 8-20# DBs - or - Single DB/KB

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 16 Min

For this workout, you'll do 12 hang power cleans, 1 minute of movement, 12 ring rows, and then another minute of movement until you've completed 5 total rounds!

For the dumbbell hang power clean, you hold the dumbbells at the hips. Do a small dip - jump and shrug the shoulders then pull the dumbbells up to the shoulders. The idea here is to think about jumping and then pulling/guiding the dumbbells to your shoulders. Try to not just do bicep curls!

You may also do these with one DB or one KB.

For the minute of movement, you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, taps, single unders (jump rope), or low step ups.

If you are doing the Ring Row option - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. So the further forward your feet are near or in front of the rings, the more difficult the row will be. Make sure you start with straight arms at the bottom - keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top.

If you are doing the bent over row you will hold a head of the dumbbell in each hand or hold one dumbbell in each hand. Keeping the belly tight and chest lifted you will hinge at the hip. If needed you may allow a little bit of a bend at the knee. Allow the arms to hang straight down from the shoulders. Pull the elbows back and in as you bring the weight to your chest. Then lower under control. If you're using a KB, hold it by the ball with your hands turned in so that your elbows can go BACK and shoulder blades pinch together.

Only go RX+ if you can still meet the goal times!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-18 Minutes

Each round should take 1:30-2:15. Choose a wall ball variation you can go unbroken most of the way. Don't forget to breathe on the burpees!

For the wall balls hold the ball at your chest with the elbows tucked in. Feet under the shoulders with heels down. Chest up and belly tight! Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down. Drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No plopping or rounding! Use the power from your legs to help throw the ball!

When you catch it. Catch first and then squat.

For the wall balls the ideal target height is roughly 9-10', but whatever you can make work is fine! If you have low ceilings or no ball you can sub lightweight thrusters. We prefer either a single heavy dumbbell (like the video) or 2 light dumbbells/bar.

For these burpees, start standing next to your dumbbells (not facing), bend your knees, hinge forward at the hips and plant your hands on the floor. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position. Lower knees, hips, and chest all the way down to the floor then press back up. Jump or step your feet in - then jump over the dumbbells. The rep is complete when you land on the other side.

Modify to regular burpees, or a no-push-up version.

Each round should take 1:30-2:15. Choose a load on the thrusters you can go unbroken most of the way. Note that it is only 8 reps compared to the other Program versions as the barbell will be heavier. Don't forget to breathe on the burpees!

For the thrusters the bar will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the bar on the shoulders and keeping the elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the bar off of the body. Move the face out of the way and press the bar straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

For these burpees, start standing next to your barbell (not facing), bend your knees, hinge forward at the hips and plant your hands on the floor. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position.

RX+ Women: 12 Thrusters / 10 Burpees Over the Sandbag

Only go RX+ if you can still meet the goal times!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-18 Minutes

Each round should take 1:30-2:15. Choose a load on the thrusters you can go unbroken most of the way. Note that it is 10 reps compared to the other Program versions. Depending on the weight of your sandbag, you may reduce the reps to 8 or increase them to 15 to hit the goal window. Don't forget to breathe on the burpees!

For the thrusters the sandbag will be on the biceps 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 sandbag on the biceps and keeping the elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the sandbag off of the body. Move the face out of the way and press the sandbag straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

You can also do a side-to-side version of the sandbag thruster. The bag starts on one shoulder. Once you extend your arms all the way at the top, lower the bag down on to the opposite shoulder for the next rep.

For these burpees, start standing next to your sandbag (not facing), bend your knees, hinge forward at the hips and plant your hands on the floor. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position. Lower knees, hips, and chest all the way down to the floor then press back up. Jump or step your feet in - then jump over the sandbag. The rep is complete when you land on the other side.

Modify to regular burpees, or a no-push-up version.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

WALL BALL - 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

BURPEES - Pay attention to any coning or doming you have in the plank position of the burpee or any sensation of pressure on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. Feel free to sub: No push up burpee, Elevated burpee, Step back/forward burpee, Air Squat + Elevated Push Up, Table Top (all fours position) + Air Squat, Ball Slams, KB Swings, Farmer/Goblet march, Glute Bridges, Sumo Deadlift High Pull

GOBLET SQUATS + PRESS - 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.

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 7 Rounds +

For this workout, you'll do 8 squat + press and 6 burpees until 12 minutes are up!

For the Goblet Squat + Press, you'll complete a squat then once you've come back to standing, you'll press the weight overhead. Then you'll lower back down to your shoulder and start again with the squat, alternating between squat and press until you've completed 8 reps.

For the Goblet Squat you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders - you can hold one DB/KB or two dumbbells. Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out. Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up! Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position. Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

For the press you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

For the burpees you may do regular, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or even an elevated burpee!

5 Reps  1/4 Get Up Right
5 Reps 1/4 Get Up Left

RX Men: 40-50# KB/DB
RX Women: 25-35# KB/DB

No RX+ Today - Just do MORE rounds!

Score: Total Rounds plus any Additional Reps
Goal: 5-8 Rounds

Aim for a round every 1:30-2:00. Adjust the jump rope variation accordingly. You'll want to give yourself enough time to get a good set up on the 1/4 get ups and focus on controlled movement.

For the double unders, your rope will pass two times under your feet for every one jump. Keep your chest up and your landing soft. It's just like a single under but you jump a little higher and spin the rope faster using your wrists, not your arms!

For this workout you will want to choose a type/number of double unders that will allow you to finish that part in less than 1 min each time. Consider lowering the reps to fit that time window or go with dumbbell hop overs, skip overs, or double rep single unders.

For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the dumbbell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

The 1/4 get up is just the first couple steps of the Turkish get up.

Start on your back. Holding the weight in your right hand, extend your arm straight up in the air. Bend your right knee so your right foot is flat on the floor.

Bring your left arm out to the side about 45°. Keep your right arm vertical for the entire movement. Roll onto your left forearm. Don't allow the left side of your torso sink toward the ground. Then, return with control onto your back. You can also do this unweighted if you need to.

Other options would be V-Ups, weighted sit-ups or toes to bar.

For the sumo deadlift high pulls the bar will start on the ground. You will have feet wide and the hands narrow - inside the legs. You will have the heels down, a bend in the knees, straight arms, driving the knees OUT, chest up and over the bar, back flat.

To start the movement you will think LEGS - SHOULDERS - ARMS. So stand hard and fast driving through the heels, keeping the back flat, arms straight and bar close. Then SHRUG the shoulders. Finally pull the bar UP the body with the elbows going high and outside. The elbows should not travel higher than the shoulders. The bar will reach mid chest height.

To return think ARMS - SHOULDERS - HIPS - KNEES. Keep the bar close to the body. Keep the chest up and heels down as you place the bar down!

The 1/4 get up is just the first couple steps of the Turkish get up.

Start on your back. Holding the weight in your right hand, extend your arm straight up in the air. Bend your right knee so your right foot is flat on the floor.

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 a single arm swing!

V-UPS - This movement can put 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, Bear Pose DB Drag, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks.

RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+ Men: 50#+ DBs

Score: Lowest Scored Round
Goal: 3 Rounds+ Each Time

So you'll work for 3 minutes, then rest for 1 minute, four times. We want you to be fairly consistent with your scores for each AMRAP. Choose a weight that will allow you go unbroken most or all of the way. The idea is to go hard for 3 minutes so the weight should allow you to get at least a round every minute.

For the farmer lunges, dumbbells or KBs will be held at the sides. Keep your chest up with a slight retraction of the shoulders. You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step forward or back so that the heel of your front leg is firmly planted when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 12 you end up doing 6 on each side.

You can modify by switching to a single dumbbell or KB held in the goblet position or even unweighted unweighted lunges.

Sub farmer, goblet, or unweighted step ups if that feels better on the knees.

For the push press hold a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart. Chest up. Belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip. Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast. As the DBs pop up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish with biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

For the lunges, place the bar on your back SAFELY (absorb with the knees).

You may choose from forward stepping, reverse, or even walking lunges. Alternate legs so for the set of 12 - it's 6 per side.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Step back and keep the front heel down. Don't allow the knee to cave in. GENTLY touch the ground with the leg (knee) you stepped back with. Then drive off of the front foot heel to bring you back to standing. Switch legs for the next rep.

Adjust the weight to something appropriate for this workout, even if that means unweighted.

You can also sub back rack or unweighted step ups.

Set up for the push press with the bar on your shoulders and elbows high. Feet hip to shoulder width apart. Chest up, belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip. Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast. As the bar pops up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Adjust the weight to something appropriate for this workout, even if that means unweighted.

You can also sub back rack or unweighted step ups.

For the handstand push ups, hands should be slightly wider than shoulder width and about 8-12 inches from the wall. When you lower to the floor, your head should be closer to the wall than your hands. Keep your belly tight to avoid over extension of your spine. You may perform them strict or kipping. Control your descent down and lock out your arms at the top!

Modify this by doing pike presses with your feet on a box.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

LUNGE/FARMER 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.

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.

**Turn this into a NO EQUIPMENT WORKOUT by swapping out the overhead press for push ups!

For this workout, you'll perform 12 lunges and 6 presses until you've completed a total of 10 rounds!

The lunges should be unweighted and alternating. This means you end up doing 6 per leg per round. These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step each time that the front heel stays down, with the knee out, when the back knee lightly touches (or comes close). Keep the chest up and drive through the heel to stand completely between reps.

If you are unable to lunge you may swap out alternating step ups.

For the overhead press you can use two DB on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

If you'd like to turn this into a totally bodyweight workout, swap the overhead press for push-ups!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-17 Min

This one has the potential to go pretty fast, which means it might be a great day to go for RX+! Try that out if you think you'd finish the RX version in under 10 minutes.

Each round should be in the 4-5 minute range, if not faster.

Break up the pull ups early to avoid going to failure. Choose a variation you can do at least 5 reps at a time consistently.

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 air squats - set up with feet shoulder width apart. Reach your butt back and down, with heels down, drive your knees out and keep your chest up. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom and stand all the way up at the top of each rep.

Modify by placing a target (med ball, stack of plates) behind you to any height that is comfortable and that you won't collapse onto.

For mountain climbers, start in a plank position. Keep your shoulders directly over or even slightly beyond the wrists and hips in line with the shoulders, knees and ankles. Draw your right knee into your chest without deviating from the plank position. Then, draw your left knee up as your right leg returns to its starting position. Each time a knee comes up is one rep.

If you prefer to do a  200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, or toe taps to a low target.

For the bike/row, you're working with a minute or less.  Adjust the calories/distance as needed to fit the time window.

WORKOUT

In Teams of 2 Complete:
2 Rounds

200 Meter Run (Together)
50 Pull Ups (Shared - 1 Person at a time)
400 Meter Run (Together)
100 Air Squats (Shared - 1 Person at a time)

RX + Men/Women: 75 Pull Ups per Round  / 150 Air Squats per Round

Strict Pull Up Option: 35 Strict Pull Ups (Shared) Per Round

Score: Total Time
Goal: 18-25 Min

You and your partner will run together, then perform the pull ups and air squats one at a time. Break up the reps however you want, but you will perform a total of 25 pull ups and 50 air squats each per round.

This should go fairly fast. Choose a version of the pull up that you can do at least 5 reps at a time consistently.

For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

Extend the window to 2 minutes for the 400m run.

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 air squats - set up with feet shoulder width apart. Reach your butt back and down, with heels down, drive your knees out and keep your chest up. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom and stand all the way up at the top of each rep.
