Score: Total Time Including Rest

Goal: 13-17 Min

COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight that you can complete 12 deadlifts with unbroken and 9 hang power cleans with unbroken - but not consecutively. We recommend breaking at the 11th deadlift rep then using the 12th deadlift rep to get you set up for the 1st hang power clean rep. You should be able to execute this strategy for at least the first round of each set, if not for the first two sets entirely. Choose a burpee variation that allows you to get the 6 reps done in 30 seconds or less.

Be mindful of your grip - if you feel your forearms starting to stiffen, take a break, shake it out, and then get back to it. Do your best to breathe intentionally as these movements will spike your heart rate quickly.

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!

DB HANG POWER CLEAN
Deadlift the DBs to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms and hands just outside of the legs. Feet are under the hips. Bend the knees, keep the heels down, and slightly hinge at the hips.

Keep the arms straight. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high as you pull yourself down. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulders with the elbows high.

Catch in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep, then lower the weight back to the hips for the next rep.

DB FACING BURPEE
You will face your dumbbells. Get your chest and thighs to the ground by either jumping or stepping back. Jump or step the feet back in. Jump over your dumbbells. Turn around and repeat!

COACHES NOTES
The set of 12 deadlifts and the set of 9 hang power cleans should be done unbroken - but not consecutively. We recommend breaking at the 11th deadlift rep then using the 12th deadlift rep to get you set up for the 1st hang power clean rep. You should be able to execute this strategy for at least the first round of each set, if not for the first two sets entirely. If with the weight of your sandbag you are unable to do the reps unbroken, consider reducing the deadlift reps to 9 and the hang power clean reps to 6. Choose a burpee variation that allows you to get the 6 reps done in 30 seconds or less.

Be mindful of your grip - if you feel your forearms starting to stiffen, take a break, shake it out, and then get back to it. Do your best to breathe intentionally as these movements will spike your heart rate quickly.

Stand all the way up at the top.

To lower - reach the butt back and slide the sandbag down the leg. Keep the knees out of the way. Keep the chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once past the knees you will re-bend the knees and bring the sandbag back to the starting position under control.

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.

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.

Burpee

Pay attention to how you're able to manage the pressure along your abdominal wall and on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. In addition to the extra impact from jumping, the plank position can create a lot of demand for your core and pelvic floor. 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

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

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 1: Fastest Round
Score 2: Slowest Round

Goal Range: 3:00-4:30

COACHES NOTES
You've got 2 scores today, the fastest and the slowest round. The goal here would be to go at a pace that is uncomfortable enough that you can't maintain it for all 4 rounds but not quite FULL send. The times should fall off as the workout progresses but all rounds should be within the goal range. Choose a weight that you can go unbroken on both dumbbell movements most if not all the way. You may want to break up the shoulder to overheads earlier than you think you need to, as the shoulders will fatigue quickly!

WEIGHTED STEP UP
You can hold the dumbbells at your waist or on your shoulders. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box. Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in. Stand up all the way at the top of the box and make sure both feet are planted. 16 Reps is 8 per leg, alternating.

If you don't have something to step up onto, or if you are uncomfortable stepping up right now you can sub alternating lunges. Each lunge counts as one rep.

Make sure you choose a weight and a height that you are comfortable stepping up AND down.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

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

SHOULDER TO OVERHEAD
You have the option of shoulder press, push press or push jerks, although shoulder 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.

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

Shoulder Press

Try to focus on aligning your ribcage over your pelvis throughout the movement. If you find yourself over extending in your back or creating a lot of extra strain on your abdominal wall, sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.

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.

Score: Total Time

Goal: 10-15 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
We want you to keep moving on this one, so set yourself up to avoid really long breaks. If the 30-60-90 takes more than 8 minutes, definitely customize something so you can pick up the pace a little bit. Choose a variation of toes to bar that allows you to get at least 5 reps at a time. Know that they will be affected by the volume of kettlebell swings, so consider breaking them up earlier than you think you need to but keep the breaks short. You'll want to be able to do at least 10-15 swings at a time. We recommend only going with double unders if you can string together at least 15-20 at a time. If they are going to be really broken up, better to go with hop overs!

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Knee-Ups
Supine Toe Touches

KB/DB SWING
Hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Eye Level KB/DB Swing
Weighted Sit Ups
Regular Sit Ups

Mamas, go with eye-level swings, ball slams, deadbugs or check out the mama mods on Members-Only for more options!

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!

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
Line Hops

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.

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.

Jump/Skip/Hop Overs

To manage or avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from jumping and hopping can create, sub: Taps, Quick Step Ups, Skip Overs, Lateral Hop Overs, Lateral Skip Overs, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Wolf Complex

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. If you have a hard time maintaining control and a stable midline in the bottom of the squat or lunge 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. For the lunges, you can always modify to shoulder or front rack or farmer carry hold and if you need to sub a lateral step up that's ok too! If you end up needing to make a lot of modifications to this movement you might want to consider the Shift verion to simplify things a bit more!

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.

Burpee

Pay attention to how you're able to manage the pressure along your abdominal wall and on your pelvic floor as you hop back or hop forward. In addition to the extra impact from jumping, the plank position can create a lot of demand for your core and pelvic floor. 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

Goal: 2:40-3:30

COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight on the snatches that allows you to get those reps done in 0:40-1:00. That means an unbroken set or maybe breaking once or twice with minimal rest. Make sure you're taking the time and paying attention to your set up for every snatch. Drop your hips, bend through the knees a bit, and keep your chest lifted. The run shouldn't take up more than 2:30. If it is, consider reducing the distance - especially if it's causing you to have less than 30 seconds of rest each round!

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 20 you end up doing 10 per side.
