PROGRAM A
WARM UP
JUMP ROPE WARM UP
UPPER BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP
WORKOUT
2021 VAULT: DUMBBELL TRITON
Every Other Minute on the Minute for 20 Minutes
(10 Rounds Total)
30 Double Unders / DB Hop Overs
Max Push Up + Renegade Rows
Suggested Weight Men: 40# DBs
Suggested Weight Women: 25# DBs
Extra Challenge Men: 50# DBs / 40 DUs or Hop Overs
Extra Challenge Women: 35# DBs / 40 DUs or Hop Overs
Score: Total Reps of Push Up + Renegade Rows
Goal: 80-120 Reps
COACHES NOTES
At 0:00 you will do 30 double unders or DB Hop Overs and then go right into max push up + renegade rows. Stop around the 1:45-1:50 mark to reset, note your score, and get set up to start the next round at the 2:00 mark.
This ends up being 300 double unders or hop overs. Go with hop overs if you feel like the double unders are going to be really broken up or take more than about 30-40 seconds. The goal here is to get 8-12 renegade rows per round so you'll want to have at least a minute if not around 1:20 to complete those. Choose a weight and a push up variation that is sustainable. This is a lot of reps and you can expect the rep count to decrease a bit as the workout progresses. To save yourself from falling way off, consider breaking up the reps early or even from the beginning - for example, a set of 12 can be broken into 7-5 or even 4-4-4.
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 :45 min each time.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Reps
Single Unders (Double the reps)
- OR -
DB HOP OVER
Stand next to one dumbbell and hop laterally over the narrow side, then hop back. Each hop is one rep.
Ideally this is 2 feet hopping and landing together, but if you need to do a little shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Skip Overs
PUSH UP + RENEGADE ROW
Each rep will be push up + row right + row left.
For the push up we want to see a rigid body position. No sagging hips or snaking. You will keep the belly tight. Hands are on the dumbbells. Go to the knees if you need to.
Chest and thighs touch the ground at the bottom. Lock out completely at the top.
For the rows you will stay in the plank/top of the push up. You will row one dumbbell to the rib cage by pulling the elbow back. Try to avoid rotating very much. Pull the dumbbell all of the way up for each rep then lower under control.

COACHES NOTES
So the way this version works is you'll complete 15 DU/hop overs and as many push up+taps as you can from 0:00-1:00. Then from 1:00-2:00, you'll do 15 DU/Hop Overs and as many bent over rows as you can. Then you'll go back to 15 DU/hop overs and push up+taps in 2:00-3:00. Continue alternating back and forth until 20 minutes are up.
This ends up being 300 double unders or hop overs. Go with hop overs if you feel like the double unders are going to be really broken up or take more than about 15-20 seconds. The goal here is to get 6-9 push up + taps and 10-15 bent over rows per round so you'll want to have at least 40-45 seconds to complete those. Choose a weight and a push up variation that is sustainable. This is a lot of reps and you can expect the rep count to decrease a bit as the workout progresses. To save yourself from falling way off, consider breaking up the reps early or even from the beginning - for example, a set of 12 can be broken into 7-5 or even 4-4-4.

PUSH UP + LATERAL DRAG
Start in a plank position with your bag just to the outside your right hand. First you will do a push up, then with your left hand, reach under and across and drag the bag to the left side of your body.
Keep the belly tight and butt down. Do another push up then reach under and across with your right hand and drag the bag back to the right side of your body. If you can't quite get the bag all the way across a little plank side step so you can start the next pull in a good position. One push up + one drag = 1 rep.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Knee Push Up + Plank Lateral Drag
Push Up + Taps
Double/Single Unders
To manage or avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that DUs/SUs can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Quick Step Ups, One Legged Plank Rock, High Knee Step Up Overs, or 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 Up
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.
