Full Body Simple Warm Up
Running Warm Up

WORKOUT

20 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 20 Min)
200 M Burden run
7 Clean and toss over box.

Idea Sandbag Weight:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 7 + Rounds

To pace this workout, set yourself up to maintain sub-3 minute rounds. That may mean reducing the load of the bag if possible, switching the burden run to 100m or a normal 200m run, or going doing 5 reps of the clean & toss over instead of 7. Try a practice round in your warm up and adjust as needed so that in the workout you stay consistent with your choices!

For the burden run, clean and jerk the sandbag onto your back rack so it's on your shoulders with your hands holding it on both sides.

As you run, keep your chest up and eyes forward. Take smaller steps to reduce the impact on your knees and back.

For power clean & toss over, the sandbag will start on the ground. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, sandbag is close to the body, chest is up, arms are straight. Stand by driving the heels down and lifting the chest. Stand up hard and fast (jump) SHRUG the shoulders. Shoot the elbows around and forward FAST to get the sandbag on the biceps with the elbows high. As you shoot the elbows around you will pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Throw the bag over a box, bench, or racked barbell to complete the rep.

Front Squat (4 x 6 (6 Reps Every Other Min for 8 Minutes))
Warm up before so that all 4 sets are heavy. Rest 2 min before Part 2 (Shoulder  Press).

For front squats, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!

Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the bar on the shoulder and not out in front. Stand fully for each rep.


Shoulder Press (4 x 5 (5 Reps Every other minute for 8 Min))
Rest 3 Min before Part 3 (Lungesters).

Shoulder press starts with the bar on your shoulders, full grip with elbows in front. Feet are hip to shoulder width apart. Squeeze your butt, your quads and your belly. Keep your chest up, ribcage down. Press the bar straight up so you have to pull your face out of the way to clear a path. Finish with arms locked out overhead, biceps by the ears.

To lower, move your face out of the way and keep your elbows in front of the bar.


Lungester (4 x 6 (6 Reps Every other minute for 8 min))
Reverse Front Rack Lunge + Reverse Front Rack Lunge + Thruster

This is an opportunity to load this movement a bit more. These should NOT be rushed. Controlled lunges - re-set the feet - thruster.

When re-racking the thruster press to the shoulders. Absorb with the knees. Re-set the belly and re-focus before you start the next lungester rep!

Barbell Lungesters 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. You will perform a lunge on each side.

AND THEN

Put the feet at shoulder width apart. Heels down. Barbell 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 barbell off of the shoulders. Move your face out of the way. Keep the belly tight and press the barbell straight up to lock out - finishing with the biceps by the ears! Rib cage down and belly tight.

7 Min
Handstand Walk Away Practice
You will start in a handstand against the wall. Without kicking yourself off of the wall the goal is to walk away from the wall a few steps.

Practice for 7 Min

For a score you can put how many successful 3 steps or more walks away from the wall you got!

If you aren't ready to walk away from the wall you can practice just a handstand hold with the chest against the wall - or shoulder taps with the chest against the wall.

Make sure you do not overextend. Your face should also be pretty close to the wall! Shift weight into the fingers to initiate walking away. Squeeze the butt!


Every 30 Seconds for 10 Min:
3 Second Chin Over Bar or Rings Hold + 1 Muscle Up

Score: Number of successful rounds completed (up to 20)

If you have muscle ups - you know what to do. Hold the chin over - push away and kip at the bottom into your next muscle up. Rest remainder of 30 seconds.

If you are new to muscle ups but want to try this - cut it to one per min.

If you aren't quite ready to do it with the hold, you may just do 1 muscle up per min.

If you don't have your muscle ups yet you may do a chin over bar or rings hold followed by a jumping bar or ring muscle up.

You may also do a 3 second chest to rings hold + a muscle up transition! Remember - keep the rings close. Pull all of the way to the chest and keep pulling YOURSELF through the rings! Lock out at the top of that dip!


7 Min Max Pike on Box Walk Around
How Many Times can you get all of the way around?

Alternate direction each time.

Make sure to get the hips over the shoulders and hands for this. If you don't have a box to use you can just to pike shoulder taps. Let's call 16 taps = 1 trip around the box.

Each set of 16 shoulder taps or each trip around the box = 1 rep for scoring.

4 Sets
Part 1:
Max Pull Ups (10+)
Max Push Ups (15+)

Rest 2 minutes after the Push Ups

Score: Total Reps of Both Combined

**Please choose a pull up style that doesn't allow you to get more than 20 reps each time. Go STRICT if you can!

For the first part you go max pull ups right into max push ups. Then rest 2 minutes and repeat for 4 total sets.

Go to your knees or elevate your hands to keep a rigid body position, full range of motion, and get at least 15  reps in the first round.

Use bands, ring rows or bent over rows instead of pull ups to make sure you get at least 10 reps in the first round. We want to see straight arms in the bottom and chin over the bar or chest contact with the rings, bar or DBs at the top.


Part 2
6 Min Alternating Tabata
(Tabata = 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest)
Alternating DB Curls
Alternating Tricep Extensions

Score: Just enter weight used

The second part is also going back and forth between movements. So, 20 seconds of alternating curls, 10 seconds rest, then 20 seconds of alternating tricep extensions, 10 seconds rest. You will do a total of 6 rounds of each movement. Choose light weights to get big volume!

Both of these movements will alternating one arm at a time. You can be standing or seated.

For the tricep extensions, keep your upper arm vertical with biceps by the ears the whole time.

Hang Muscle Clean (5 x 3)
Start light - add a bit of weight for each set. Focus on technique.

For this movement you will deadlift the bar to the "hang" position (top of the deadlift).

Hands should be just outside of the shoulders/legs. Keep the heels down as you dip by bending the knees slightly (not allowing them to cave in) - reach the butt back slightly and slide the bar with straight arms down the front of the thigh.

Stand up hard and fast driving through the heels and bringing the chest up. Shrug. Pull the elbows high and outside keeping the bar close. Then drive the elbows around and through FAST to get the bar to a supported position on the shoulders with the elbows high.

There is no re-dip of the legs in a muscle clean! The focus is just on the UP portion of the movement!


Hang Power Clean + Front Squat (10 total Sets of 1+1) - 1 Every 90 Seconds)
1 Hang Power Clean
1 Front Squat

For this part you will perform 1 Hang Power Clean + 1 Front Squat every 90 seconds for 10 total sets.

For the hang power clean you will again start in the hang position (top of the deadlift). Then you will again dip, drive, shrug and then this time instead of pulling the bar up the body only you will also pull yourself down into a partial squat as the elbows come around and through. Catch the bar with the heels down, knees out and bent slightly, butt reaching back, belly tight, chest up, and bar on the shoulders with the elbows high.

Stand and re-set the feet.

For the front squat the feet should be shoulder width apart. Elbows high with the bar in the fingertips. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you keep the chest and elbows lifted. Keep the belly tight. Drive the knees out and get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with the chest and elbows still lifted. No collapsing of the back or elbows at the bottom.

To stand drive through the heels and lead with the elbows. Drive the knees out and stand completely!


Front Squat (5 x 3 (1 Set Every Other Min on the Min))
Same weight across all 5 Sets. This should take exactly 10 Min.

You may add weight each time or maintain same weight for all 5 sets.

Keep adding 2 reps every time.

For single leg deadlifts keep the back flat and heels down. Brace the belly and allow the torso to come forward with only a slight bend of the knee.

You will hold one KB or DB for the Single Leg DL

For the Step Ups you will also hold weight. Step up roughly 15-24" depending on your height.

Drive off of the heel that is stepping up and make sure your WHOLE foot is on the box (or bench or whatever you are using). Do not allow your knee to collapse inward.

Alternate feet with each rep.

(Start back over at 1-1)

For 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 legs up high and then toward one another at the same time until you can touch your toes, then lower back to hollow body.

These are very challenging. You can also do tuck ups where you bend your knees on the way up, tuck your knees into your chest and swing your arms from overhead to along side your body. Lying leg raises or knee raises are also great options.

The superman is the opposite of hollow body. Lie face down with arms overhead, legs straight and squeezed together.

Squeeze your butt and your belly and raise your chest and thighs as high up off the ground as you can. Then, lower back to the floor. Make sure you are raising and lowering with control.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT - This can be such a great movement for mamas! Focus on good posture, breathing mechanics, and midline stability. If you're pregnant and balance is a struggle because of changes in center or gravity, feel free to sub Sumo Deadlifts or Split Stance Deadlifts.

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

V-UPS - This movement 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, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, or Waiter Walks. See MAMA MODS MOVEMENT LIBRARY FOR DEMOS.

SUPERMAN - If you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or uncomfortable laying on your belly for any reason, try modifying to Functional Progression 3 or 4 or a variation of bird dog extensions or a bear pose hold/crawl.

WARM UP

WORKOUT

5 ROUNDS (For Time)
20 Sandbag Shoulder to Shoulder
10 Sandbag Row (L)
10 Sandbag Row (R)
10 Sandbag Burpee

Idea Sandbag Weights:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time
Goal: 20 Min

For this workout you will start with 20 sandbag shoulder to shoulder reps.

This is basically a push press from one shoulder to the other.

Start with the bag on one shoulder with the hands underneath it. Dip by bending the knees and pushing the butt back slightly. Make sure the heels stay down, knees don't cave in, and chest stays up. Stand up hard and fast to pop the bag off of the shoulder. Press it up over your head and lower onto the other side.

If comfortable when lowering absorb with a dip and allow that to send you into the next rep.

For the rows you will hold the sandbag by the handles in one hand only. Bend at the hip and allow a slight bend at the knee. Keep the belly tight, chest up, and heels down. Pull the bag into your body with the elbow going back. Arm will hang straight from the shoulder at the bottom. Control both the up and down of each rep.

You will do 10 with one arm then 10 with the other.

If your bag has no handles you may sub 20 bent over rows with 2 hands.

The sandbag burpee is just that. Do a burpee with the chest hitting the bag, jump or step the feet in, get into a good set up with chest up and knees bent - arms straight gripping the bag. Then you will stand up hard and fast with straight arms until you finish with your hips and knees. Guide the bag up keeping it close to your body. Press to lock out over your head.

Deadlift (6 x 4)
Add load between sets on the Deadlift, take 20 minutes to complete all six sets.

For the deadlifts 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.


4 Rounds (Not for Time)
8 Single Leg Deadlifts Left Leg
8 Single Leg Deadlifts Right Leg
8 Supine Barbell Rows (SLOW)

Score: Weight Used
Goal: Unbroken Sets - not fast - and with good form.

The idea here is to be able to do all 8 reps unbroken. The last 2-3 reps of each set should be very challenging. Rest 30-60 seconds between movements.

For the single leg deadlift you can either hold a dumbbell in each hand or a barbell in both hands. Shift your weight into one foot and raise the other foot off the floor behind you.

Fight not to twist. Allow a slight bend in the knee as you hinge forward at the hip and touch one head of the dumbbells to the floor. Keep the back flat and belly tight and squeeze the butt to stand up. You can always modify to a single dumbbell or even regular deadlifts if you need to.

For the supine barbell row, set the bar in the rack low enough that you'll be at a challenging angle. Position yourself under the bar with arms straight, shoulders slightly behind the bar. Keep a rigid body position with knees, hips and shoulders in a straight line. Pull your body up to make chest contact with the bar and lower back to straight arms.

If you do not have a rack or rings to do this movement - you may also do a bent over row in its place.

5 Min Pull Over Practice
Options:
• Kicking Pull Over
• Jumping Pull Over
• Hanging Pull Over

Choose one or play around with all 3 for 7 min!

For the pull over the goal is to pull the body up and then get the hips close to the bar and keep them close to the bar as you pull yourself over in a backwards roll type movement.

To do these unassisted you will need the upper body strength to do a pull up. BUT you can also do them with a little jump to help with the pull or even stand on something high enough to be able to really kick up and over.

These require a great deal of ab strength. So don't be surprised by that one! Look at your quads the entire time. Allow your hands to rotate around the bar.

Have fun with these and whatever set up you are using make sure it is stable and that you are safe.


EMOM x 16 MIN
(Every Min on the Min for 16 Min):
MIN 1: 8-12 Toes to Bar
MIN 2: 10-16 Pistols

Score: Total Reps of Both
**Remember scores don't matter. PRACTICE with good form is what this is all about!

Toes to bar starts with you 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.

If you don't have a pull up bar, sub with V-Ups.

Or, modify to Knee-Ups, Supine Toe Touches or regular sit-ups if you need to!

A "Pistol" is a single leg squat. Start standing, shift all your weight into one foot and raise the other off the ground in front of you. Reach your butt back while keeping your chest over your ankle. Belly is tight. Lower under control. Be mindful that your knee doesn't cave in at any point. It is TOTALLY normal to have one side that is weaker or less coordinated than the other. If these are new for you, try sitting back to a target. You may also try different strategies - such as holding your foot out front to keep that other leg up if necessary!

If Pistols aren't happening... lateral step offs can be done unweighted or adding a bit of weight as light or as heavy as you are comfortable. You are definitely just TOUCHING with the toe on the ground though and will not PUSH off of that foot at all. For many people, no weight is just fine.


For Total Time:
Accumulate 3 min in the bottom of a push up but with the chest and thighs JUST off of the ground.

Score is how long it takes you to accumulate that in small increments.

No sagging hips or belly. Elbows tucked in with the bicep and forearm touching the rib cage. No raised hips either!

Part 1:
4 Sets:
8-10 Reps Arnold Press

Part 2:
3 Round Superset
(rest 30s between movements)
30s/arm 90 degree Waiter Walks
5 Lat to Front Raise Complex
10-12 90 degree Lat Raise
10/arm Single Arm Rev. Fly

1 rep of Lat to Front Raise complex = Lat Raise to Front, lower, then Front raise to Lat, lower.

Movements are slow and controlled. Pause 1 second on both ends.

Score: Weight Used for Lat Raise Complex
Put info for others in comments
Goal: Good movement

For the Arnold presses start standing with your dumbbells at chin level, palms facing you. As you press overhead, rotate your arms so your palms face out at the top. Keep your chest up but belly tight to avoid arching your back.

Waiter walks you will hold one DB in one hand in front of you with elbow at shoulder level and 90 degrees so your forearm is vertical. Stand up straight and walk slow. After 30 seconds, switch to the other arm.

For the lat to front raise, arms are straight the whole time. Raise your arms out to a T, then keep the DBs at shoulder level as you bring them together in front of you. Lower them down to your waist, then raise them up in front of you to shoulder height. Then, take them back out wide to a T and lower them back down to your side.  That is 1 rep!

For the 90 degree lat raise, start with elbows along side your body, arms bent to 90 degrees. Keep this angle of your arms and raise your elbows out to the sides up to shoulder level then back down.

Single arm reverse fly, plant one hand and one knee on a bench, facing down. Opposite arm starts hanging straight down, elbow very slightly bent. Raise the DB out to the side so almost shoulder height. Keep the DB in line with the shoulder, arm 90 degrees to the body. Press you planted hand down hard and keep your belly super tight!

Behind the Neck Press + Overhead Squat (3 x 5)
1 Press + 1 Overhead Squat = 1 Rep

These are warm up sets! Start LIGHT and focus on technique over weight!

You will unpack the bar on the back and establish a wide grip. Keep the belly tight and squeeze the cheeks. Press the bar straight up to lock out with the armpits forward. Weight should be over the middle of the body/top of the head.

Then you will re-position your feet to shoulder width apart. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down, knees out, chest up, and belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. Bar should be over the middle of the foot! Drive through the heels, drive the knees out, lead with the chest, and keep pressing on the bar to stand!

Then you will lower bar back onto the back!


Overhead Squat (16 min to find a heavy set of 5)
If you are capable of going pretty heavy on overhead squats you may want to do a few more warm up sets before starting the clock on this.

PLEASE make sure if lowering onto your back after each set that you absorb with the knees. Once it's at a certain weight (heavy for you) - the best option is to just drop it and clean it back up into the rack - even if you have to unload some of it!

There is not a certain number of sets or anything on this. Just find the heaviest set of 5 possible in 16 min!


3 x 1 Min AMRAP
(As Many Reps as Possible in 1 Min - for 3 Rounds)
Overhead Squat with Moderate Weight

Rest 2 Min between AMRAPS

Score: Weight Used
Put total reps for each AMRAP in comments
Goal: 12-20 Reps in Each AMRAP MAX!

The way this works is you will simply get as many overhead squats as possible in a 1 min window 3 separate times with a 2 min rest between those attempts!

This can be a solid minute of unbroken squats with the bar overhead the whole time - or a couple smaller sets with short breaks!

Again - PLEASE be cautious when lowering the weight onto the back and don't be afraid to drop it onto the ground and use the 2 min rest to get it back into the rack!

No rack? No problem! You can also do a clean and jerk onto the back then a wide grip push press to get the bar overhead!

Use weight that feels right for you and allows you to keep moving. Men try 50-55# and Women around 25-35#.

For the reverse lunge side step ups. You will hold a KB or DB at the chest. You will lunge backward, step in, then step up on a box or bench (whatever you can find) around 15-20" in height. For the right foot you will step back with the right and then step up with the right.

For both movements focus on driving off of the heel of the front leg or leg on the box.

You will do 1 min on one side of the box or bench and 1 min on the other.

For the banded side lunge, you will hold KB or DB in goblet position - reach butt back and step to the side into a deep side lunge - working to get the butt below the working/bent knee. Drive through the heel to stand.

8 Min Alternating Tabata
20 Seconds of Love Taps
10 Sec Rest
20 Sec Weighted Sit Up
10 Sec Rest

Use 5-20# for weighted sit ups

Love taps are where you sit on the ground with straight legs. You will lift both legs (fighting to keep them straight) up and over something (like a KB). Control the legs and just tap the heels on one side - then the other.

For the weighted sit ups you will touch the plate/dumbbell behind your head sit up and press it over head to lock out!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

REVERSE 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.

SIDE LUNGE - This can be a great movement for mamas but if you feel any pubic pain or discomfort feel free to scale the range of motion, distance or to sub a lateral step up or single leg glute bridge

LOVE TAPS AND WEIGHTED SIT UPS - Both of these movements put a lot of pressure on the core and the pelvic floor. If you are pregnant or in the rehab or rebuilding stages of postpartum you may want to sub Functional Progressions (Choose any from 1-4), Ball Slams, KB Swings, Overhead Plate Hold/March, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk

WORKOUT

15 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 Min)
16 Drag and Pull (Alternating)
12 Suitcase Lunge (Left)
12 Suitcase lunge (Right)

Idea Sandbag weights:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time
Goal: 4 Rounds +

For the drag and pull you will start in a plank position with the bag down between the legs by the hips. Grab with right hand and drag it up until it is past your head in front of you. With that same hand - pull it back to where you started. Then switch hands. Each drag + pull = 1 rep. You will alternate right and left per rep for a total of 8 drag + pulls per arm per set.

The goal here is to keep a solid plank position, and allow a slight rotation in the drag and pull. Don't allow the butt to get too high or the hips to sag. Keep the belly tight!

The idea of the suitcase lunge is just that. Hold it like a suitcase and lunge (we love the reverse lunge the best for this). You will hold the bag in the same hand as the forward foot. So for example - you will hold the bag in your right hand and step back for a reverse lunge with your left. The bag is next to the front leg/knee at the bottom of the lunge.

If you are not tall...and the bag hits the ground - you have 3 options. Go with it, bend the arm a bit at the bottom ), or if it's all a big hassle based on your height and bag - just throw it up on your shoulder and do them that way!

Part 1:
Every OTHER Minute on the Minute for 10 minutes:
7 Back Squats

Use the same load for all five sets, spend at least 10 minutes building up to your working weight which should be heavy but not so heavy that form deteriorates in the final sets.

Think roughly 60-70% of 1RM if you have that info.

The bar will be on the back. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.

Part 2:
Every OTHER Minute on the Minute for 10 minutes:
7 Bench Press

Use the same load for all five sets, spend at least 10 minutes building up to your working weight which should be heavy but not so heavy that form deteriorates in the final sets.

Think roughly 60-70% of 1RM if you have that info.

Lying face up on the bench, pull the bar from the rack out over your chest so your arms are vertical. Push your feet down into the floor. Draw your low back, shoulders and the back of your head down into the bench. Lower the bar straight down with control until it touches your chest an inch or two above the sternum. Keep your elbows about 45 degrees from your torso, wrists straight. Press the bar all the way back up until your arms are straight to complete the rep.

WARM UP
Pull Up Warm Up

WORKOUT

12 Min EMOM
MIN 1:
6 KIP SWINGS
6 KIPPING PULL UPS
MIN 2:
HANDSTAND HOLD PRACTICE

RX+: 6 KIP SWINGS + 2-4 BAR/RING MUSCLE UPS

Handstand hold can be against the wall or free standing. If you are just getting comfortable with inversions, try going into a pike hold with your feet up on a box.

If you are unable to do 6 pull ups - lower the number - even if it's just 1 (attempt).

Squeeze your butt, your quads and your feet together in the kip swings and pull ups.


15 MIN AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 Min)
12 Jump overs
6 Strict Pull Ups
3 wall walks / 30 Foot HS WALK

Even though this is an AMRAP, focus on controlled movement. Keep your core tight on the wall walks and pull ups. Keep the pull ups strict!

If you aren't able to jump right now, do slow down / fast up air squats.

Use a band on the strict pull ups if you need to or switch to a jump + slow lower or slow lower supine row.

You can sub 15 handstand (against the wall) shoulder taps for the handstand walk or wall walk.

Part A
10 Min EMOM
(Every Minute on the Minute for 10 Min)
10 Close Grip DB Bench Press
Then
Part B
3 Round Superset
(Rest 30s to 1 Min Between Movements)
10-12 Dumbbell Flys
10-12 Skull Crushers
12-15 Wide Hands Out Push Ups
12-15 Diamond Push Ups

Movements are slow and controlled with 1 second pause on both ends, stay engaged the whole time. Remember this is 100 REPS of bench press so keep it pretty light.

Score: Enter Weight for Bench Press. (Note other weights in comments)

The bench reps should feel a bit easy at first. By minute 5 or 6, it's going to get nasty!

For close grip DB Bench, lie down on the bench with the dumbbells on your chest, palms facing toward each other, elbows tight to the body. Draw your shoulder blades down into the bench and keep them pulled back even as you press up. Keep the DBs closer than shoulder width apart and press straight up until your arms are fully extended and perpendicular to the floor. Lower the DBs with control back to your chest.

For the flys, lie face up on the bench with arms extended straight up in the air. Keep your belly tight, avoid arching your back as you lower your arms out wide. You can keep a very slight bend in your elbows. Return the DBs back to your starting position.

For the skull crushers keep the shoulders back and down and bend only from the elbow - bringing the bar or dumbbells close to your "skull". Really extend the elbow hard at the top!

For the wide grip push ups, take your hands out a good bit wider than shoulder width. Maintain a rigid plank position. Lower your chest and thighs to the floor. Keep everything tight and press straight back up until your arms are straight.

For the diamond push ups, place your hands together with thumbs and index fingers touching to form a diamond shape.

Do push ups from your knees or elevate your hands if you need to, in order to keep your body tight and get that full range of motion!

Muscle Snatch + Overhead Squat (3 Muscle Snatch + 2 Overhead Squats)
This should be thought of as a warm up + slowly adding weight to prep for the snatches in the main part of today's program.

For each of the 5 sets you will do 3 Muscle Snatch and 2 Overhead Squats. Start the first set with an empty bar. Focus on speed for the muscle snatch and stability for the squats. Only go up in weight if you can maintain both.

The Muscle Snatch focuses on a strong pull, fast and powerful hip, fast and powerful turnover to lockout overhead. There is no re-bend of the knees. It's ALL UP!!

Start with the bar on the ground with a wide grip. Heels are down. Knees are bent and pushed out. Chest up and belly tight. Arms  are long and straight. Shoulders pulled back.

Pull the bar from the ground in a controlled way - pulling the bar back into the body. Drive through the heels as you lift the chest. Once past the knees - pick up speed and start to rotate the torso more upright - keeping the arms long and straight and heels down. Once you hit your "pockets" extend the hips FAST. Shrug. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close. Rotate the bar up and overhead as you press to lock out!

After 3 of those perform 2 overhead squats.

Bar starts overhead and over the middle of your body completely locked out with the armpits forward. (Press your pinkies into the bar). Belly tight. Chest up. Heels  down.

Reach the butt back and down. Keep the bar over the middle of your foot - so think about pulling it back as your head/chest go forward a bit in the squat. Drive the knees out. Keep the belly tight and chest lifted. Keep the heels down. Keep pressing into the bar.

At the bottom, hips are lower than knees. Heels down. Knees out. Bar over the middle of the foot. Chest up. Arms locked. No collapsing.

Stand. Lead with the chest and the bar. Drive through the heels.


Snatch (EMOM 20: Min 1: 2 Snatch Pulls / Min 2: 1 Snatch)

Score: Heaviest successful snatch.

This will be performed as a 20 min EMOM with the first minute being 2 snatch pulls and the second minute being 1 full snatch. The goal here is to add weight each ROUND. To do this - pick your starting weight for the full snatch, then go up in weight for the snatch pulls based on the next snatch weight you want to do. Keep in mind this is 10 jumps so - make moderate jumps. If you hit your limit - just stay with a challenging weight. If you fail you can either try again for one more round or go back down.

For the full rep snatch you are basically combing the muscle snatch and overhead squat from part 1 today into one movement. The only difference here is that as you shrug on the pull you actually start to pull YOURSELF under the bar instead of the focus as much on pulling it up! You will land in the bottom of a solid overhead squat and stand to complete. If you are super new to this movement you can practice power snatches today OR do a power snatch into an overhead squat each time.

**Power means you land in a partial squat instead of a full squat. It’s a great way to learn a pull under while still working on overhead squat stability.

For the snatch pull it is basically just the first part of that snatch or muscle snatch. The pull from the ground through the shrug. Focus on keeping the heels down, bar close, and an explosive UP!
