PROGRAM A*

PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Squat Warm Up
Shoulder Warm Up

WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: Dumbbell "DOCE"

With a running clock complete:

50 MANMAKERS FOR TIME

THEN

RUN 800 METERS

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

RX+: Go Faster

**You can go heavier if you really want to, but we don't feel it's necessary.

Score: Total TIme

Goal: Under 15 Min

No matter how you approach it, 50 manmakers are going to take a lot out of you. But you want to be able to push that run too! Ideally, the run is less than 6 minutes.

Some of you will go faster. But don't shorten the distance unless you are going to go way over 6!

If you can't run due to space or weather, instead do 30 box jump overs or unweighted step up overs before AND after the manmakers.

For the manmakers you will place your hands on the dumbbells roughly shoulder width apart. Jump or step your feet back. Place your knees down if you need to and perform a push up. Then perform a renegade row on each side. From the top of the push up position you will pull the elbow back, bringing the dumbbell to the side of the rib cage. Try to avoid rotating, allowing the hips to come up, or sagging the hips. Lower the dumbbell back to the ground and repeat on the other side.

Then jump or step the feet in. Dumbbells may be inside or outside the feet based on your preference. Heels down, chest up, flat back, knees are bent. Stand up hard and fast keeping the dumbbells close and pull them up your body as you pull yourself under. Catch with the elbows high and the DBs on your shoulders in the bottom of a squat. Heels down, knees out, butt lower than knees, chest up, belly tight, back flat.

Drive through the heels to stand up. Stand up hard and fast to pop the dumbbells off of the shoulders. Keep the belly tight and finish by pressing to lockout with the biceps by the ears.

The first modification should be to lighten the load.

Other options include doing the push up portion from the knees. You can also split the movement up a bit more by doing a power clean and then a thruster.

WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: Barbell "DOCE"

With a running clock complete:

1 BARBELL MANMAKER =
DEADLIFT
BENT OVER ROW
HANG SQUAT CLEAN
THRUSTER

For the deadlift make sure the heels stay down and the bar stays close. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Start with a hinge at the hip and a bend in the knee with straight arms. Stand completely at the top. Then bring the bar back to below the knee but not all of the way to the ground. Keep the knees slightly bent and the chest up. Pull the bar to the chest with the elbows going back then lower back to below the knee. Stand.

Perform a hang squat clean by dipping forward slightly, reaching the butt back and bending the knees. Allow the bar to travel down the leg. Chest up, belly tight. Arms straight. Bar close. Stand fast and shrug. Pull the bar up your body as you pull yourself under. Shoot the elbows around and through quickly to catch on the shoulders with the elbows high in the bottom of a squat. Heels down, knees out, butt lower than knees, chest up, belly tight.

Stand up hard and fast. Pop the bar off of the shoulders. Keep belly tight and press to lockout!

The first modification should be to lighten the load.

You can also split the hang squat clean thruster portion into a power clean + thruster.

Goal: Under 15 Min

No matter how you approach it, 50 manmakers are going to take a lot out of you. But you want to be able to push that bike/row too! Ideally, the row is less than 6 minutes.

Some of you will go faster. But don't shorten the distance/calories unless you are going to go way over 6!

For the manmakers you will place your hands on the dumbbells roughly shoulder width apart. Jump or step your feet back. Place your knees down if you need to and perform a push up.

Other options include doing the push up portion from the knees. You can also split the movement up a bit more by doing a power clean and then a thruster.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

MAN MAKERS - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight in the row. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

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.

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

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.

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault: SHIFT "DOCE"

15 MIN AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 Min)


1 Min Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Low Step Ups
10 Push Up + Tap + Tap
10 Air Squats

No weight needed!

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps

Goal: 7 Rounds +

For this workout you will do  1 minute of movement followed by 10 push ups + tap, tap, and 10 air squats.

For the first part you will choose from a jog/run, row, bike, single taps, or low step ups, taps

For the push ups + taps you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit. Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest  at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

Once you are at the top of the push up, you will bring your right hand to your left shoulder, then take your left hand to touch your right shoulder. Try to not let the hips rotate, or allow the butt to pop up when you lift your hand up. You can do the taps on your toes, knees, or even elevated!

The Push Up + Taps is 1 push up + tap right shoulder + tap left shoulder = 1 rep.

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. 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!

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

3 Rounds

Each Round is a 5 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps As Possible in 5 Min)


3 Burpees
6 Ring/TRX Rows
9 Air Squats

Rest 1 Min between AMRAPs

Score: Total # of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps from Each AMRAP

Goal: 8+ Rounds

The way this one works is you'll do 3 burpees, 6 ring/TRX rows, and 9 air squats until 5 minutes are up then you'll rest for 1 minute. Repeat that cycle (5 minutes of work / 1 minute of rest) two more times!

With a goal of 8 or more rounds across the three AMRAPs, you're shooting for just under 3 rounds per 5-minute interval.

For the burpees you may do regular, knee push up burpees, no push up burpees, or even an elevated burpee! These should take 30 seconds or less.

For the Ring/TRX rows remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. Since it's only 6 at a time - challenge yourself! 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. You may also do Bar in Rack Rows!

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. 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!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

HANG POWER CLEAN - For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

JERK/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.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. If you feel any heaviness or pain in the pelvic floor or surrounding areas (i.e. tailbone, lower back, pubic symphysis) or if you notice symptoms like leaking pee, please consider adapting your approach or modifying the movement. 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.

SHIFT WORKOUT

8 Rounds

7 DB/KB Hang Power Clean
7 Overhead Press
7 DB/KB Jump Overs (Facing)

Suggested Weight Range Men: 20-40# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Suggested Weight Range Women: 12-30# Single DB/KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total Time

Goal: 15 Min or Less

For this workout, you'll perform 7 hang power cleans, followed by 7 overhead presses and 7 jump overs until you've completed 8 total rounds!

Shoot for a little less than 2 minutes per round!

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!

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.

For the DB/KB hop over you will stand facing the DB/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.

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

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

HANG POWER CLEAN - For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

JERK/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.

BOX JUMP/JUMP/SKIP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. If you feel any heaviness or pain in the pelvic floor or surrounding areas (i.e. tailbone, lower back, pubic symphysis) or if you notice symptoms like leaking pee, please consider adapting your approach or modifying the movement. 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.

Score: Total number of rounds you are able to complete with the correct reps in the 3 min window.

Goal: 5 Rounds - but challenge yourself!

So this doesn't just turn into an AMRAP, set yourself up to complete the first couple rounds in 2:20 or less. Lower the number of toes to bar to 5-6 if 8 will be broken into more than 3 sets each time.

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, go with weighted sit ups.

Or, modify to V-ups, Knee-Ups, Supine Toe Touches or regular sit-ups if you need to!

Mamas, go with deadbugs, Russian swings, or ball slams.

For front squats, make sure the dumbbells are resting on the shoulders and the elbows are high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend until your butt is below your knees. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the dumbbells on the shoulders and elbows high. Stand fully for each rep.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the sandbag on the biceps and elbows high. Stand fully for each rep.

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, Pallof 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)

DB/GOBLET 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.

Goal: 6+ Rounds

For this one, you'll complete 10 sit ups and 10 goblet squats until 12 minutes are up!

With a goal of 6 or more rounds, you'll want to finish a round in 2 minutes. This should be totally doable so don't be afraid to challenge yourself on the squat weight!

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 Goblet Squat you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders. 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!

If the first round takes more than 4 minutes, modify something. Choose a push up variation you can complete do at least 5 at a time, they shouldn't take more than 1:00-1:20. You can lower the push up reps if you need to.

Choose a load on the bent over rows you can also complete in about a minute, or max 3 sets.

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 push up we want to see a rigid body position with shoulders above or beyond the wrists and hands just wider than shoulder width. Squeeze your butt, your thighs and your belly. No sagging hips or snaking.

Keep your elbows within 45 degrees to the body as you lower your chest and thighs to make contact with the floor. Stay engaged. Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.

To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

Set up for the bent over rows by deadlifting the DBs to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - 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!

To maintain these good positions throughout, you may need to go from the knees or elevate your hands.

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. You will maintain a hinged position as you pull the bag to your chest. 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.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DOUBLE/SINGLE UNDERS - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, Calf Raises. 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 try scaling the number of DUs/SUs down to a number that is realistic for you to practice proper positioning and managing pressure. Any leaking or heaviness in the pelvic floor is a sign that you need to adapt your approach or change the movement to less impact.

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

For this workout, you'll complete 20 single unders or tap, 10 push ups, and 10 bent over rows for 6 rounds total!

For the single unders/taps,  you will do 20 per round! You may also choose to do low step ups if jumping or skipping is not an option.

For the push ups you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest  at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

For the bent over rows, you can do them with one or two dumbbells. For two dumbbells - 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! If you do this version with one DB, you can hold a dumbbell head in each hand and apply the same mechanics!

You could also do 10 single-arm bent over rows on each arm. Since this takes longer than doing 10 with both arms, it may affect your goal rounds but it will keep the stimulus of the workout!

Score: Total Minutes you complete the assigned work without running out of time!

Goal: Modify to make it the whole way! OR - get a far as you can, then when you run out of time - modify and finish with lighter weight/less reps/shorter distance as needed.

**Pro-tip - if needed you can treat this as kind of an every 2 min deal. So if you need more time on the run and have extra time in the clean and jerk minute (or vice versa) use that extra rest time for the other movement.

Guys - this is an all time #blamejulian moment. He created this for his birthday! The main version is the bike/row version listed in Program C.

You NEED to choose a weight on the clean and jerk that is super light - that you can cycle sets of 9 with for at least the first half of this workout! It's a lot of reps!

If you need to lower the number, even after you have lowered the weight - do that! Try 6 instead of 9.

For the clean and jerks, just because it's light doesn't mean it can be sloppy.

Pick up with a flat back. Keep arms long until you fully extend your knees and hips. Shrug and pull under. Stand and use your leg drive for the jerk. Keep the belly tight with the dumbbells overhead.

Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch for each rep at the bottom.

Run distance should take about 45-50 seconds. If it takes longer than that on your first round - you are in trouble, so lower it down.

If you need to sub the run for weather or space reasons you may sub 45 seconds of double unders, taps, low step ups, or mtn climbers!

FIND A CALORIE TARGET/DISTANCE THAT TAKES 45-55 Seconds FOR THE BIKE/ROW!

Score: Total Minutes you complete the assigned work without running out of time!

Goal: Modify to make it the whole way! OR - get a far as you can, then when you run out of time - modify and finish with lighter weight/less reps/shorter distance as needed.

**Pro-tip - if needed you can treat this as kind of an every 2 min deal. So if you need more time on the bike/row and have extra time in the clean and jerk minute (or vice versa) use that extra rest time for the other movement.Oh man.

You NEED to choose a weight on the clean and jerk that is super light - that you can cycle sets of 9 with for at least the first half of this workout! It's a lot of reps!

If you need to lower the number, even after you have lowered the weight - do that! Try 6 instead of 9.

For the clean and jerks, just because it's light doesn't mean it can be sloppy.

Pick up with a flat back. Keep arms long until you fully extend your knees and hips. Shrug and pull under. Stand and use your leg drive for the jerk. Keep the belly tight with the bar overhead.

Row or bike distance should take about 45-50 seconds. If it takes longer than that on your first round - you are in trouble, so lower it down.

Guys - this is an all time #blamejulian moment. He created this for his birthday! The main version is the bike/row version listed in Program C but we decided to make a team option this year.

Remember you run together but take turns on the clean & jerks until you've reached a combined 18 reps per round.

You NEED to choose a weight on the clean and jerk that is super light - that you can cycle sets of 9 with for at least the first half of this workout!  It's a lot of reps!

For the clean and jerks, just because it's light doesn't mean it can be sloppy.

Pick up with a flat back. Keep arms long until you fully extend your knees and hips  Shrug and pull under. Stand and use your leg drive for the jerk. Keep the belly tight with the dumbbells overhead.

Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch for each rep at the bottom.

Run distance should take about 45-50 seconds. If it takes longer than that on your first round - you are in trouble, so lower it down.

If you need to sub the run for weather or space reasons you may sub 45 seconds of double unders, taps, low step ups, or mtn climbers!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

POWER CLEAN - You could try less weight, going from the hang position or starting with the dumbbells between your feet. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training inefficient movement patterns.

JERK/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.

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.

SATURDAY SHIFT 09/26/2020

Special Saturday SHIFT for Julian's Birthday!

His birthday was actually the 15th - but we moved this workout due to the Vault workout last week.

This SHIFT workout was originally posted on Sept 17, 2018, then again on Sept 16, 2019! Since we are re-testing the main version (Julian's Birthday Workout) we will re-test the SHIFT version too! Enjoy!

Street Parking SHIFT is the more simple version of the daily workout - is great for those who may be new to this type of training, those returning from illness/injury, pregnant/postpartum mamas, seniors, even your kids!

MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS FOR TODAY
PRE: MORNING COFFEE, QUADS/IT BAND

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

10 Rounds for Time
1 Min Bike, Row, Jog or Taps
9 Hang DB or KB Clean
9 DB or KB Press

Idea weight for Men: 35-50# Single DB or KB OR 15-25# Dumbbells
Idea weight for Women: 12-25# Single DB or KB OR 8-15# Dumbbells

Score: Total Time

Goal: 25 Min or Less

For the 1 min section you can choose between bike, row, jogging or taps. Go at an uncomfortable pace, but something that will allow you to keep moving the whole time.

For the hand DB or KB clean you can do this with a single kb or db, or 2 dumbbells. You will start with the object(s) at the waist. Perform a small dip by bending the knees slightly. Stand up hard and fast helping to make the db or kb weightless. Shrug the shoulders and pop the weight up to your chest by rotating the hands around.

For the press you will simply PRESS the weight over your head. Get the weight all of the way up until the biceps are by the ears. Keep the belly tight and squeeze the cheeks.
