Score: Fastest Round ONLY

Goal: Under 5 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
Because your score is your FASTEST round, we are encouraging you guys to push the pace from the start without any regard for how it might affect your later rounds! That does not mean you should move so fast on the bent over rows that you get sloppy. Be sure you choose a weight that you can do the 20 reps in 2-3 sets and without rotating or jerking the weight up toward the chest. The weighted step ups should take no more than 1:30-2:00 so be sure to pick a weight and height that allows for that pace. Push yourself on the run knowing you'll get some rest before the next round starts.

BENT OVER ROW
Set up by deadlifting the dumbbells 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. Do not allow your shoulders to shrug. Keep them drawn down and away from the ears. 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!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single Dumbbell Bent Over Row
Single Arm Bent Over Row

DUMBBELL WEIGHTED STEP UP
Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Choose a height that allows you to really drive through the stepping foot and keep your chest up as you stand. Place your WHOLE foot on your step (box, bench whatever). Don't allow your knee to cave in. Drive out of your heel and stand all of the way up. Alternate feet with each step at the bottom. So a set of 10 ends up being 5 per side.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DB 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 lighter weight, 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 sub: Single Leg Glute Bridge, Hip Thrusts, Air Squat, Goblet/DB 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.

Suggested Weight/Height Women: 13-15# Ball // 25# DBs // 16-20" Box

Score: Total Time

Goal: 25-30 Min (35 Min Cut Off Today)

COACHES NOTES
Ouch! All three of these movements place considerable demand on the lower body, even the push press if you are doing it right. Make sure you warm up thoroughly. You are doing 150 reps of each movement so moving well should be a top priority. Break up the wall balls early, try to do each round in 1-3 sets. Choose a load on the push presses that you can complete sets of at least 10 the whole way. For the box jumps, find a smooth steady pace. 30 jumps should should take 1:30-2:00.

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Target Height
Single DB Thruster


DUMBBELL 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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

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!

You are doing 150 reps of each movement so moving well should be a top priority. Break up the wall balls early, try to do each round in 1-3 sets. If you go with sandbag thrusters, remember that the reps are lower! The push presses should take about 1:30 so you may need to adjust the reps if working with a heavier bag.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

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

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.

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.

Reps will vary between the different versions today! Make sure to read through the one you choose thoroughly!

COACHES NOTES
To be clear, the workout is 3 rounds of toes to bar and deadlifts, rest 1 min... 4 times. So, 3 rounds, rest, 3 rounds, rest, 3 rounds, rest, 3 rounds, done. There are a lot of deadlifts in this workout, so please make sure that you are setting up properly for each rep and keeping your back flat! You may want to break them into two smaller sets to save your grip for the toes to bar. Choose a variation on the toes to bar in which you think you could go unbroken, but consider breaking into smaller sets for the same grip saving reasons. This should go pretty fast, each set should take 2:00-3:00.

TOES TO BAR
Start 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. Make sure you keep that active shoulder position as you lower your feet back down and behind you.

If you don't have a pull up bar, or if you simply prefer them, go with V-Ups.

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, DB Windmills, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Pallof Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Side Plank Step Throughs, Heel Taps, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

Lying Leg Lifts

You can always scaled the range of motion with this movement and just lower or raise your legs part of the way. You can also try bending the knees or only using 1 leg at a time to relieve some of the pressure or demand on your core or you could sub Heel Taps or Functional Progression 1 If you need to scale because you're pregnant and uncomfortable lying on your back you could sub High Knee Step Overs, Blast Off Elevated Plank, Kettlebell March, Farmer Carry, or Ball Slams.

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.

20 & 40: 150 Reps
25 & 50: 225 Reps
30 & 60: 315 Reps
35 & 70: 420 Reps

20 minutes is a long time for just 2 movements. Prepare yourself mentally to chip away at some big sets of burpees and especially lunges! Try to find a smooth, steady pace on the burpees rather than doing a bunch really fast and then resting for an extended period of time. The single DB variation requires a pretty narrow grip and demand for shoulder mobility, so know that you can customize to a lighter, single arm version if you need to. You should be able to do sets of at least 10 lunges at a time the whole way through. If it takes longer than 6:00 to complete the first two rounds (through the 20 lunges), make an adjustment and find a customization that allows you to find a slightly quicker pace.

SINGLE DUMBBELL OVERHEAD LUNGES
You will only need one dumbbell, one hand on each side, arms locked out with biceps by the ear. Keep the belly tight and press up!!

Make sure the lunge steps are long enough that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the knee to cave in.

Stand all the way up between reps and alternate FEET with each lunge.

These may be forward stepping, reverse stepping, or walking lunges!

BURPEE

SANDBAG OVERHEAD LUNGE
Hold the sandbag in the overhead lockout position with the biceps by the ears. You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step with the front leg so that your heel can be down on that foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 6 you end up doing 3 on each side.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

Burpee

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Score: Total Time (including rest)

Goal: 15-21 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
You're aiming for each round to take 3:40-5:40 - not including the 2 minute rest between. Choose a wall walk variation that allows you to get those 4 reps done in 0:40-1:00. You should also feel confident in your ability to control yourself not only going up the wall but also coming down. Do not move so quickly that you belly flop back to the start! The weighted sit ups option will likely take more time than the alternating v-ups but should take no more than 2:00-2:30. Choose a weight for the snatches that you can do at least 8-10 reps of at a time - even under fatigue. For those, your core and shoulders will be taxed from the movements leading up to them so be sure to set your back in the set up and really drive through the legs and hips to assist your arm in getting that dumbbell overhead.

WALL WALK
Set up in the bottom of a push up with feet against the wall. Walk your feet up the wall as you press to the top of a push up then back toward the wall. Keep your belly tight and do not overarch you back. Touch your chest to the wall then walk your hands out and feet down to the floor. Focus on always pushing the floor away from you.

DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So for each set of 40 you end up doing 20 per side.

COACHES NOTES
You're aiming for your round to take 1:45-2:30.

You should also feel confident in your ability to control yourself not only going up the wall but also coming down. Do not move so quickly that you belly flop back to the start! The weighted sit ups option will likely take more time than the alternating v-ups but should take no more than 0:45-1:15.

Keep your belly tight and do not overarch you back. Touch your chest to the wall then walk your hands out and feet down to the floor. Focus on always pushing the floor away from you.

Don't slide or flop!

WEIGHTED SIT UP
You can do anything you want with your feet in the sit ups. What we are looking for is the weight touching the ground over your head at the bottom and either bringing it to your chest as you sit up or pressing up over your head at the top. Of course - lower the weight if necessary to keep moving.

ALTERNATING V-UPS
Lie on your back with arms stretched overhead, shoulders away from ears. Squeeze your legs together. Come into a hollow body position by raising your legs and shoulders a few inches from the floor. Pull your bellybutton down toward the floor until you feel your lower back pressing into it. Raise your chest and right leg up high and then toward one another at the same time until you can touch your toes with your left hand, then lower back to hollow body. Switch sides on the next rep. Every v-up counts as 1 rep toward your total.

DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So for each set of 40 you end up doing 20 per side.

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

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, DB Windmill, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk (SEE MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS)

DB Snatch

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