WORKOUT

2021 VAULT: DUMBBELL TRITON

Every 2 Minutes for 20 Minutes
(10 Rounds)


30 Double Unders / DB Hop Overs
Max Push Up + Renegade Rows

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

Extra Challenge
Men: 50# DBs / 40 DUs or Hop Overs
Women: 35# DBs / 40 DUs or Hop Overs

Score: Total Reps of Push Up + Renegade Rows

Goal: 80-120 Reps

COACHES NOTES
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.

Every Minute on the Minute for 20 Minutes

Min 1: 15 Double Unders / DB Hop Overs + Max Push Up Tap + Tap
Min 2: 15 Double Unders / DB Hop Overs + Max Bent Over Row

Suggested Weight
Men: 95#
Women: 65#

Extra Challenge
Men: 115# / 20 DUs or Hop Overs
Women: 75# / 20 DUs or Hop Overs

Score: Total COMBINED Reps of Push Up + Taps and Bent Over Rows

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.

1 Rep = Push Up + Tap Right + Tap Left

CUSTOMIZATIONS

Max Push Up + Lateral Drags

Suggested Weight
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Reps of Push Up + Lateral Drag

Goal: 80-120 Reps

COACHES NOTES
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 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. 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.

SANDBAG HOP OVER
Stand next to your sandbag 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

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

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.

10 Min AMRAP (As Many Rounds and Reps As Possible in 10 Minutes)

8 1/2 Up 1/2 Rack Lunges (Right Arm Up)
8 1/2 Up 1/2 Rack Lunges (Left Arm Up)
8 Toes to Bar / 12 Alternating V-Ups

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

Extra Challenge
Men: 50# DBs
Women: 35# DBs

Score: Total completed rounds plus any additional reps.

Goal: 8-12 Rounds

COACHES NOTES
Set yourself up for about a round a minute on this one. You might go a little faster at first and slow down a bit in the later rounds but it should land you right in the goal range. For the lunges, pick a weight or variation that you can get all 8 reps on one side unbroken most if not all the way. Whether you go with toes to bar or v-ups, they are going to become challenging pretty quickly. Consider breaking them up early to avoid falling apart in the back half of the workout. Choose a variation that you can complete the reps in 2 sets each time.

1/2 UP 1/2 RACK LUNGES
These are performed with one dumbbell locked out overhead and one dumbbell at the shoulder. Make sure that you take a long enough step each time so that the front heel can stay down while the back knee gently touches the ground. Focus on keeping the chest up, belly tight, and don't allow the front knee to cave in. Stand all the way up between lunges and alternate your stepping foot each time. For 10 lunges, it would be 5 per leg.

For the first set of 8 your right arm will be locked out holding the dumbbell with the bicep by the ear - and your left arm will hold the dumbbell at the shoulder.

For the second set of 8 your left arm will be locked out holding the dumbbell with the bicep by the ear - and the right arm will hold the dumbbell at the shoulder.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Single Arm Overhead Lunges
Goblet Lunges
Shoulder Racked Step Ups

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Knee-Ups
Supine Toe Touches

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

--OR--

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 one leg up to point toward the ceiling as you lift the chest, twist, and reach the opposite side hand toward your foot. Lower back to hollow and repeat on the other side. Each side is one rep.

Goal: 8-12 Rounds

COACHES NOTES
Set yourself up for about a round a minute on this one. You might go a little faster at first and slow down a bit in the later rounds but it should land you right in the goal range. For the lunges, pick a weight or variation that you can get all 12 reps in 1-2 sets the whole way. Whether you go with toes to bar or v-ups, they are going to become challenging pretty quickly. Consider breaking them up early to avoid falling apart in the back half of the workout. Choose a variation that you can complete the reps in 2 sets each time.

OVERHEAD LUNGES
Hold the bar in the overhead lockout position with a wider than shoulder grip and biceps in line with 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 12 you end up doing 6 on each side.

Set yourself up for about a round a minute on this one. You might go a little faster at first and slow down a bit in the later rounds but it should land you right in the goal range. For the lunges, if you are breaking them into more than 2 sets, switch to front rack lunges so you can keep things moving and stay on pace. Whether you go with toes to bar or v-ups, they are going to become challenging pretty quickly. Consider breaking them up early to avoid falling apart in the back half of the workout. Choose a variation that you can complete the reps in 2 sets each time.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Lunges

If you have any pubic symphysis or SI joint pain try 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, goblet squat, glute bridge, or split squats for the lunges.

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.

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: Total Time Including Rest

Goal: 14:00-18:00

COACHES NOTES
Be careful not to come out too hot on the first chunk of deadlifts. Even if you can go unbroken or even a couple of big sets, if you bite off more than you can chew, the rest of the workout is going to be rough. Think 2-4 sets, they should take 2:00-3:00. Choose a variation on the pull ups that you can complete 12 reps in a minute or less, think 1-3 sets the whole way. If you are customizing, we don't recommend bent over rows today. If you don't have rings or are unable to do inverted rows, go with plank rows. Think about a smooth pace on the box jump overs so you can knock out 12 reps without any really long breaks. On your final 50 deadlifts, we want you to dig deep but don't get sloppy!

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

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
Inverted Row
Banded Pull Ups
Plank Rows

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!

COACHES NOTES
Be careful not to come out too hot on the first chunk of deadlifts. Even if you can go unbroken or even a couple of big sets, if you bite off more than you can chew, the rest of the workout is going to be rough. There are less reps in this version because they will be a bit heavier. Think 2-4 sets, they should take 2:00-3:00. Choose a variation on the pull ups that you can complete 12 reps in a minute or less, think 1-3 sets the whole way. If you are customizing, we don't recommend bent over rows today. If you don't have rings or are unable to do inverted rows, go with plank rows. Think about a smooth pace on the box jump overs so you can knock out 12 reps without any really long breaks. On your final 35 deadlifts, we want you to dig deep but don't get sloppy. Go with small sets and short breaks!

BARBELL DEADLIFT
The bar will start on the ground. The feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! Hands just outside the legs To lift, drive the heels into the ground and lift the chest. Keep the arms straight as you pull the bar in close to the body. Keep the arms long and straight. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Stand all of the way up at the top. Squeeze the butt. Don't lean back.

To lower - reach the butt back and slide bar down the legs. 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 bar back to the starting position under control.

Extra Challenge: GO FASTER (or feel free to put on a weight vest if you really want)

Score: Slowest Round Only

Goal: 3:30-4:30

COACHES NOTES
Simple and effective today. We want you to push in every round but try not to let your interval times fall off too much. Keep an uncomfortable pace on the runs. Try to knock out at least 25-30 before you take a break. We find it best to pick a steady pace without stopping - or at least not for long - rather than sprinting through a few reps then taking a long break. This workout is going to be a mental push, especially in the last couple of rounds. Your legs are going to burn in the squats - keep going!

400M RUN
You're working with 2:00-2:30. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 2 min double/single unders, low step ups, or toe taps to a low target.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

Double/Single Unders
Low Step Ups

COACHES NOTES
Simple and effective today. We want you to push in every round but try not to let your interval times fall off too much. Keep an uncomfortable pace on the row/bike. Try to knock out at least 25-30 before you take a break. We find it best to pick a steady pace without stopping - or at least not for long - rather than sprinting through a few reps then taking a long break.

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.

COACHES NOTES
Check out an example of how to do this workout above!

Choose a weight for the hang squat cleans that you KNOW you can go unbroken with for the entire workout. That's both parts! It doesn't mean it needs to be easy but it should be doable with some grit and determination. You don't need to sprint the burpees but definitely push the pace since you'll get to rest while your partner does their round. Breathe deeply during your rest and shake out those legs to be ready for your turn.

BARBELL HANG SQUAT CLEAN
Deadlift the bar to the hips with hands just outside the legs. Your feet are between hip and shoulder width, heels down. Stand tall. Tighten the belly. Arms straight. Reach the hips back slightly and bend the knees to dip. Keep the bar close and arms straight. Stand up hard and fast! Shrug the shoulders. Pull the bar up the body with the elbows high and outside and pull YOURSELF DOWN at the same time. You will rotate the elbows around and through FAST to allow the bar to land on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat.

In this squat position heels are down, knees out, chest up, belly tight, butt lower than knees, no plopping or rounding, elbows high! Drive through the heels and drive knees out to stand. Lead with chest and elbows, stand fully to complete each rep. For the next rep you will lower the barbell back to the hips.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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

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.
