PROGRAM B:

5 Rounds

Run 400 Meters
15 Bent Over Rows
15 Push Press

RX Men: 95#
RX Women: 65#

RX + Men: 115# +
RX + Women: 75# +

Go heavier if you are able to keep the movements in less than 3 sets each time.

Score: Total Time

Goal: Under 20 Min

NOTES:

For this one it's about choosing the right weight to allow you to have to break the Rows and Push Press but only once or twice per round.

For the run - the distance should take you 1:30-2:15.  If it's taking longer than that - and it's not because you are dogging it - shorten it a bit.

If you are unable to run for space or weather reasons you may sub 90 sec of single or double unders or even lowish (like 15") step ups.

For the Bent Over Rows you will deadlift the bar to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - you will pull the elbows back and bring the bar to just below the chest.  Keep the belly tight. Bring the bar back to just below the knee with the arm straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

It would be a good idea in this workout to strategically break these every 5 or so just to give the low back a break for a brief pause.

For the push press you will have your bar on the shoulders with the elbows high.  Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart.   Chest up.  Belly tight.  Dip keeping the heels down and allowing the knees to come forward.  Reach the hips back slightly but keep the chest lifted.

Stand up hard and fast.  Pop the barbell off of the shoulders and finish with a press straight to lock out.  Biceps by the ears.  Standing tall.  Locked out elbows.  Belly tight.

If Round 1 takes you longer than about 4:30 min - re-evaluate!!

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)

30 Taps or Single Unders
8 HANG Sumo High Pull
8 Push Press

Idea Weight for Men: 30-55# Single KB or DB

Idea Weight for Women; 12-25# Single KB or DB

Score: Total Number of Rounds and Reps Completed in 12 Min

Goal: 5 Rounds +

NOTES:

For this workout you will want to choose a weight that you think you might always try to get all 8 without having to put the weight down.

For the first part you may choose jump rope single unders or taps.  If 40 reps will take you longer than about 1min-1:15 at the longest  - you may lower the reps.

The HANG Sumo High Pull is VERY similar to the up right row - except you are going to perform a small dip at the hips and knees - keeping the arms straight and weight close to the body.  Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulders - pull the elbows high and outside brining the weight up to your chest.  Like you are zipping up your jacket.

Keep the shoulders pulled back and the belly tight.

For the push press you may use the same KB/DB OR you can use a pair of lighter dumbbells.  This movement is like the regular press - except again - you will perform a small dip and stand before you press.

When you dip keep your heels down and chest up.  Make sure the knees don't cave in (actively push them out).  Stand up hard and fast.  Finish with a press to lockout with the weight over your head and the biceps by the ears!
