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.

Goal: 160-200 Reps+

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.

COACHES NOTES
At 0:00 you will do 30 double unders or SB Hop Overs and then go right into max push up + lateral drag. 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.

The goal here is to get 8-12 lateral drags per round so you'll want to have at least a minute if not around 1:20 to complete those. Adjust the weight of your sandbag (if possible) and choose a push up variation to something that is sustainable for the entire 20 minutes. This is a lot of reps and you can expect the rep count to decrease a bit as the workout progresses.

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

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

Hang Power Clean + Front Squat

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DB/Back/Front/Air Squat

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.

Run/Jog

To manage or 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, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock.

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.

Hang Clean

For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, you may want to consider sub DBs for the barbell so you are not putting too much load on your back or training inefficient movement patterns.

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 an Outside KB Swing or a Single Arm Swing.

Practice this movement with a light weight first! Take one of the filler bags out of your bag if possible.

Grab hold of the overhand handles, bend your knees and lift your chest up. Keep the heels down. With your back flat and belly tight, stand up with the sandbag by driving through the heels and lifting the chest. Explode UP with the legs and hips. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbow high and outside. Then PUNCH your fists toward the ceiling as you drop into a partial squat. The bag will flip over your hands and come to rest against the back of your forearms at the same time you land in the partial squat. It should not crash against your arms, instead you are absorbing it with knees bent. Then, stand up all the way.

Hold the sandbag in the overhead lockout position with the biceps by the ears. You may perform forward or reverse lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel is down when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Wall Walks

Please measure risk vs. reward when considering if you can/should perform this movement. If you are unable to maintain midline stability and proper breathing mechanics throughout the duration of the entire movement please sub: Inchworms, Box/Pike Walk outs, Seated Shoulder Press, Bear Crawl, or Shoulder Taps

DB Snatch

You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going overhead right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS.

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.

Part 1 Score: Time (to complete part 1 only)
Part 2 Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps

Part 1 Goal: 4-8 Min
Part 2 Goal: 5-8 Rounds

COACHES NOTES
Set yourself up so that you will get AT LEAST 2 minutes of rest between parts 1 and 2. For part 1, the deadlifts should be completed in 2-4 sets. Be careful attempting really big sets so you don't wreck your grip for the pull ups and for part 2. Break up the pull ups into quick, small sets. Shoot for 5-10 at a time depending on your proficiency. Choose a variation that you can complete the pull ups in 2-3 minutes. Find a smooth pace on the box jumps with a longer rest every 10-15 reps. Choose a height that allows you to keep moving and finish in 2-3 minutes.

Because there are deadlifts in this workout, we do not recommend doing bent over rows in place of pull ups. If you don't have a bar, rack or rings to do one of the other pull up variations, go with 40 push ups!!

DUMBBELL DEADLIFT
The DBs will start on the ground. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Hands and grip are outside of the legs. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! To lift the DBs drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest. Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top.

To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DBs go below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DBs back to the starting position under control. Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch at the bottom!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lighter weight
Sumo Deadlifts

PULL UPS
You have the option of strict, kipping, butterfly pull ups, or choose one of the customizations below. Grip the bar a little wider than shoulder width. Fire up the lats by drawing the shoulders down away from the ears. Keep the belly tight. 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! If you choose to use a band, stay in control and avoid the bounce out of the bottom.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

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. Use one of the customizations below in order to maintain that strong plank position in your body throughout the movement.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Knee Push Up
Elevated Push Up

BOX JUMPS
For the box jumps, choose a height that you are comfortable with. Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all 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!

COACHES NOTES
Set yourself up so that you will get AT LEAST 2 minutes of rest between parts 1 and 2. For part 1, the sandbag over the shoulder should be completed in about 2 minutes. Choose your rep target based on the weight of your bag. Break up the pull ups into quick, small sets. Shoot for 5-10 at a time depending on your proficiency. Choose a variation that you can complete the pull ups in 2-3 minutes. Find a smooth pace on the box jumps with a longer rest every 10-15 reps. Choose a height that allows you to keep moving and finish in 2-3 minutes.

SANDBAG OVER THE SHOULDER
Technique will vary slightly depending on what type of bag you have. BUT - in general you want the bag between your feet. Feet are roughly shoulder width apart with the heels down. Hinge at the hip and bend the knees enough to try and get at least your hands and part of your forearms under the bag. Lift your chest and tighten your belly. Drive through your heels as you lift the bag. Pull it in close to your body. Stand up hard and fast and roll the bag over your torso - finishing over the shoulder. USE THE POWER FROM YOUR LEGS!!!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

KB/DB Deadlift

If you're 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 it's 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.

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, Barbell Pull Ups 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

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.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Thruster/Wallball

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, DB Goblet Squat + Press, or Air Squat

Run/Jog

To manage or 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, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock.

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.

DB/Back/Front/Air Squat

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.

Overhead 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.

The hops overs / double unders should take no longer than 45 seconds. If you go with the double under option and you're struggling to accumulate those 30 reps, just do as many as you can in 45 seconds then move on. Choose a weight for the swings that you can complete in 1-2 sets. Each set of the 1/4 get ups should take a minute or less. If you only have one DB/KB and it feels too heavy to perform the 1/4 get ups with, try them unweighted or with an object you find around your home like a gallon jug - or choose from one of the customizations listed!

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.

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.
