WARM UP
DUMBBELL SQUAT CLEAN WARM UP
JUMP ROPE WARM UP

WORKOUT

2021 VAULT: DUMBBELL RHEA

5 Rounds

40 Double Unders / DB Hop Overs
12 Dumbbell Squat Cleans

Suggested Weight
Men: 40# DBs
Women: 25# DBs

Extra Challenge
Men: 50# DBs / 60 DUs
Women: 35# DBs / 60 DUs

Score: Total Time

Goal: 9-15 Min

COACHES NOTES
This workout is a sprint! The double unders shouldn't take longer than 45 seconds so if you aren't super proficient at those, consider reducing the reps to fit within that time or going with the dumbbell hop over option. Choose a weight for the squat cleans that you CAN do unbroken but definitely break those 12 reps up into 2-3 sets with quick breaks in between so that you can keep the intensity high from start to finish.

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
Hop Overs
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
Line Hops

DUMBBELL SQUAT CLEAN
You will start with the dumbbells on the ground with the feet under the hips. Dumbbells are just outside of the feet. The hands are just outside of the legs. Hinge at the hips but keep the chest lifted and back flat. There should also be a bend in the knees, but not so much you are squatting. Arms are long and straight.

From here you will lift the weight by digging the heels into the ground as you lift the chest. Once past the knees you will pick up speed and jump and shrug the shoulders! Keep the dumbbells close to the body as they travel UP - try to avoid a massive bicep curl! Pull yourself down and under catching the dumbbells on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat with elbows high. Make sure the knees are out, heels are down, chest is up. Do not collapse in this position.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows. Stand fully for each rep.

COACHES NOTES
This workout is a sprint! The double unders shouldn't take longer than 45 seconds so if you aren't super proficient at those, consider reducing the reps to fit within that time or going with the sandbag hop over option. If you have the option to change out the weight of your sandbag, go with what will let you get those 12 reps done in less than a minute. If you only have one weight option and the 12 are taking you more than a minute to do, reduce the reps to a number you can get in that time window so that you can keep the intensity high from start to finish!

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.

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.

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.

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.

COACHES NOTES
So first of all, we want you to get through all 10 rounds. Customize the movements, choose appropriate loads, do what you need to do to to set yourself up for success. You should be getting at least 30 seconds of rest between rounds for the first half of the workout. Set yourself up so that you can complete all the movements in 1-2 sets the whole way. If you are strong with bodyweight movements, consider going with the extra challenge!

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.

ALTERNATING HANG DUMBBELL SNATCH
Bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and belly tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep!

Lower back to the waist and switch hands. You will alternate hands with each rep for these so you end up doing 6 per arm per round.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Score: Fastest SET Only

Goal: 4:00-6:00

COACHES NOTES
To be clear, you do 2 rounds, rest 2 minutes, 2 rounds, rest 2 minutes, then another 2 rounds. Each grouping of 2 rounds = 1 set. Your score is your fastest set. The amount of rest should give you enough time to recover quite a bit so we want you to go hard in every set. For shoulder to overhead you have the option to push press or push jerk. Choose a weight you think you could go unbroken most of the way but you would definitely have to switch to a push jerk at some point. Consider starting each set with a handful of push presses, then transitioning to a jerk for the remaining reps. The box jump overs don't have to be top speed, but try to find a continuous rhythm you can maintain for all 16 reps each time.

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
1 minute of:
Double/Single Unders
Low Step Ups
Toe Taps to a Low Target

BOX JUMP OVER
Choose a height that you are comfortable jumping to and stepping down from. Facing the box with feet about hip width apart, swing the arms up as you jump to the box. Land with both feet all the way on the box, then step off the other side to complete the rep. 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!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust height
Jump Overs
Step Up Overs

SHOULDER TO OVERHEAD
You have the option of strict press, push press or push jerks, although strict press is not recommended. Set up for the push press with the dumbbells 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 DBs pop up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

You could also do a jerk by pressing yourself under the DBs as they pop off the shoulders. Receive them overhead with arms locked out overhead, knees bent in a partial squat.

Finish standing tall, arms straight, biceps by the ears. Squeeze your butt and keep your belly tight.

When lowering the dumbbells back to the shoulders, absorb with the knees and either go into the next rep or re-set for the next rep.

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.

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.

COACHES NOTES
We are shooting for 2:30-3:30 per round today. Depending on your air squat stamina, you may be able to knock these out unbroken. More realistically, keep it between 1-3 sets each time with breaks just long enough to shake out the legs. Choose a variation of pull up that allows you to complete 12 reps in a minute or less and in 1-3 sets. You have further to go with the 2 head touch variation of the deadlift. In order to keep a flat back, you'll have to bend the knees more in the bottom position. If you feel yourself rounding a lot or dropping the chest and shoulders as low or lower than the hips, try a sumo stance.

AIR SQUAT
Set up with feet shoulder width apart. Fire up your belly. 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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

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.

DUMBBELL DEADLIFT (2 HEAD TOUCH)
We like to program the two head touch dumbbell deadlifts when the barbell program has heavy deadlifts to up the challenge a bit. This means at the bottom of every rep BOTH heads of the dumbbells need to touch. This will require you to get a bit lower in your set up.

To set up the feet will be pretty close together. Heels are down and hands are just outside of the feet. Hinge at the hips and bend the knees to get into a position where you can keep your chest up and back flat. Tighten your belly! To stand you will drive your heels into the ground and lift the chest. Squeeze the cheeks to stand all of the way up. When lowering keep the belly tight and chest lifted. Reach the butt back and hinge the chest forward. Remember - BOTH heads of the dumbbells need to touch!

Choose a variation of pull up that allows you to complete 12 reps in a minute or less and in 1-3 sets. You can challenge yourself with the weight on the deadlifts today. It shouldn't be so heavy that you have to do single reps or that you would choose singles as a strategy. We suggest choosing a load you can do in 1-2 sets the whole way.

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

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.

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.

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.

COACHES NOTES
There is no escape in this workout! You definitely don't want to come out too hot. Start at a moderate pace and focus on breathing and finding good positions in each movement. You can choose two different weights for the lungesters and renegade rows. If you are using the same pair of dumbbells, choose a load based on what you will be able to perform the rows properly with. In order to finish in the goal range, you'll want to be able to complete at least 3 lungesters at a time in those later rounds and at least 4 renegade rows per side. Remember, for today 1 no push up renegade row is a row on both sides.

DUMBBELL LUNGESTER
Begin with the dumbbells on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may perform the lunges portion as reverse stepping or forward stepping. Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the forward knee to cave in. Keep the belly tight and chest up. You will perform a lunge on each side.

And then...

Put the feet at shoulder width apart. Heels down. Dumbbells still at the shoulders with the elbows high. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down and drive the knees out. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. Drive up hard and fast out of the squat. Pop the dumbbells off of the shoulders. Keep the belly tight and press the dumbbells straight up to lock out - finishing with the biceps by the ears!

CUSTOMIZATIONS

NO PUSH UP + RENEGADE ROW
1 No Push Up Renegade Row (L+R) means 1 one plank dumbbell row with each arm.

We want to see a rigid body position in the plank. No sagging hips or piking the butt up in the air. Keep the belly tight. Hands are on the dumbbells.

Row one dumbbell to the rib cage by pulling the elbow back. Try to avoid rotating too much. Pull the dumbbell all the way up for each rep then lower under control.

COACHES NOTES
There is no escape in this workout! You definitely don't want to come out too hot. Start at a moderate pace and focus on breathing and finding good positions in each movement. Choose a load on the lungesters that you can complete at least 3 reps at a time the whole way. For the renegade rows, remember that (for today) 1 rep is a row on both sides. You should be able to do at least 4 reps at a time the whole way. The first few rounds are going to go quick, but as you get into the rounds of 7 and above, things will change a bit. So have a plan going into this workout for how you are going to break up the reps.

BARBELL LUNGESTER
Start with the bar on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may perform the lunges portion as reverse stepping or forward stepping. Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the forward knee to cave in. Keep the belly tight and chest up.

COACHES NOTES
There is no escape in this workout! You definitely don't want to come out too hot. Start at a moderate pace and focus on breathing and finding good positions in each movement. Ideally you are able to complete at least 3 lungesters at a time the whole way. If you are working with a heavier sandbag, don't worry as much about the goal time but also consider customizing the lungesters to something that you can do at least 3 reps of every time. For the lateral drags, the time spent in a plank position will add up. Make sure you stay focused on maintaining that solid plank and take shorter more frequent breaks if you notice your butt drifting further and further up in the air!

SANDBAG LUNGESTER
Start with the bag on the biceps with the elbows high. You may perform the lunges portion as reverse stepping or forward stepping. Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the forward knee to cave in. Keep the belly tight and chest up. You will perform a lunge on each side.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Plank Up & Overs (Bag)

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Lungesters

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. Option to sub: Thrusters, Weighted Step Ups, Weighted Lateral Step Ups, Lunge + Lunge + Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

Plank Hold

Pay attention to any coning or doming in your belly and try adjusting your posture, breath, or tension strategies. You can always modify with an Elevated Plank Hold, Bear Hold, or Overhead Plate Hold. You could also do a shorter timed set or certain number of reps/distance of Waiter Walks, Farmer Carry/March, or Bear Crawl. See the Mama Modifications Movement Library for demos.
