SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 40 | 09/26/2021
 

Street Parking Suns Out Guns Out is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are great for those interested in adding in more work building strength and stamina through more isolation type movements in the upper body.

We typically suggest these workouts be added in as more of a "finisher" after the main workout that day. They can also easily be added to many of the Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts workout - to make a session all its own!

Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule - and make sure to check out the daily write up for A, B, and C to see where these workouts fit in best each week!


WARM UP
FULL BODY DYNAMIC WARM UP
SHOULDER WARM UP

WORKOUT

4 Rounds Not For Time:

12 Dumbbell Bench Press
12 Banded Tricep Pulldowns or Skull Crushers
12 Diamond Push Ups
12 Seated Dips

Score: Put weight used for Dumbbell Bench Press

COACHES NOTES
Choose a variation on all of these that you can get all 12 reps in one set. Lying face up on the bench, start with the dumbbells outside your chest, elbows about 45 degrees out from your torso. Draw your shoulder blades down into the bench and keep them pulled back even as you press up. Keep your elbows below your wrists 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 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 diamond push ups, keep your body in a rigid plank position. Hands together so that thumbs are touching and index fingers are touching. Point your elbows slightly back. Lower your chest and thighs to the floor. Keep everything tight and press straight back up until your arms are straight.

For the seated dips, plant your hands on a bench, box or chair and scoot your hips off the edge. Try to keep your legs straight or just slightly bent. Keep your torso close to the bench the whole time as you lower down until your elbows go just beyond 90 degrees, then press back up. Perform these slow.


Part 2

10-9-8-7...3-2-1 Reps of:

Plank Up & Overs
Wide Grip Push Ups
1/2 Push Up Hold (1 rep = 1 second)

Goal is to finish this in 12 minutes or less. Stop at 15 minutes if you haven't completed the reps by then.

COACHES NOTES
The way this works is: first you do 10 plank up & overs, then 10 wide grip push ups, then a 10 second 1/2 push up hold. Then you 9 of everything including a 9 second hold. Then 8, then 7 and so on down to 1. We want the holds to be done unbroken so if you need to, go to the knees or elevated!

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
For the plank up & overs, set up a medicine ball or stack of plates outside one hand. It should be 6-12ish inches high.

Start in a plank position (top of a push up) with arms straight, shoulders over wrists, heels over the balls of your feet.

Keeping your belly tight, quads engaged and back flat, walk one hand then the other to the ball, then over to the other side. Both hands must plant on the higher surface and both hands must plant on both sides of the ball/stack. Each time you plant both hands on one side of the ball/stack is 1 rep.

For the wide grip push ups, place your hands wider than shoulder width in your set up position. Keep your whole body in a tight rigid position as you lower your chest and thighs to the floor then press back up to lock out. These can also be done from the knees or with hands elevated.

Same with the half push up hold. From knees or toes, lower halfway down until your arms make a 90 degree angle. Hold there for the required time then press back up to the top to finish. Don't let your hips sag on this one, squeeze everything!!

 
OLY | WEEK 40 | 09/26/2021
 

Street Parking OLY is posted once a week, on Sunday. These workouts are great for those who want to add in more work on technique and going heavy in the olympic lifts. We typically suggest adding this in BEFORE the regular daily programmed workout.

You can find the days that adding this in will work the best in the daily programming write ups.


WARM UP

3-4 Rounds

5 Empty Barbell Muscle Snatch
5 Behind the Neck Snatch Grip Press
5 Snatch Balance

COACHES NOTES
Focus on GOOD movement - this is not for time AT ALL!

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
The main thing to focus on for the muscle snatch is to stand up fast and hard then a FAST turn over to get the bar locked out over your head. No re-bend of the knees!

Behind the neck press focus on keeping the ribs pulled down and getting the armpits forward in the locked out position.

For the snatch balance you will dip slightly with the bar on your back, stand fast and then press the bar up as you press yourself down into a solid overhead squat position.

WORKOUT

7 Sets

1 Snatch Pull + 1 Hang Snatch

COACHES NOTES
Warm up to a working weight and then build in weight each set - as long as you are still moving with good form! Enter heaviest weight as score.

The purpose of this complex is to get you really focused on holding good positions off of the ground but also finishing with the hips before the pull under.

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
You will start with a wide grip - bar on the ground. Heels down, back flat, chest up, arms straight. Drive the knees back as the chest comes up and the bar stays close to the body. Once past the knees you will finish with a strong UP (pretty much a jump) and shrug with straight arms. Arms may bend slightly as a follow through - but it is not a focus.

From here you will lower the bar back down to the hang at the waist. You will dip slightly - keeping heels down and arms straight. Jump up - shrug - pull yourself under into a solid overhead squat position. The armpits should be forward, elbows locked with the bar over the middle of the body. Heels down, knees out, chest up! Stand to finish.


5 x 3 Tempo Snatch Grip Deadlift

Tempo is 1-1-3-1. See Coaches Notes for description.

COACHES NOTES
The snatch grip deadlift should be done heavier than you can actually snatch for this exercise. Use at least 100% - 105% of your best ever snatch.

The 1-1-3-1 tempo means that you will take 3 seconds to come up, pause at the top for 1 second, lower for 1 second (don't just free fall!) and pause at the bottom to re-set for each rep.

Focus is on keeping the bar close with heels down!

 
ENDURANCE | WEEK 40 | 09/26/2021
 
Endurance.jpg

**This is one of our favorite Endurance workouts! We have posted it a few times - 04/07/2019, 03/15/2020, 10/28/2020.

Street Parking Endurance is posted once a week, on Sunday. It is meant for anyone looking to build a bigger engine through extra work on the rower, bike or running. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

For the most part we recommend doing the Endurance workout as a stand alone workout in its own session or even its own day. You know your fitness and recovery level - but that is our general suggestion.

Use this Endurance Conversion Chart if your choice of equipment is not listed below.


RUN VERSION

WARM UP
RUNNING WARM UP

WORKOUT

Run Version:

"Strong Endurance"

Run 400 Meters

When you hit the 400 Meter Mark - Carry a heavy object or pull/push a sled as far as you can for 1 minute.

At the 1 Minute Mark -

Run 400 Meters - (so drop the object run from that spot until you get back to your object)

Then - Carry heavy object or pull/push a sled as far as you can for 1 minute.

Keep repeating this cycle until you have carried/pushed/pulled the object 800 Meters.

Extra Challenge: 1200 Meters

Objects can include:

Sandbag
D-Ball
Dumbbells
Plate
Push/Pull Sled
Whatever

Men: Roughly 50-60# of total weight
Women: Roughly 25-40# of total weight

COACHES NOTES
So the way this works if you were on a track for example. You would leave your object at the start line. At 3-2-1 go you would run 400 meters. When you get back to the object you pick it up and run as FAR as you can with it in 1 min. When 1 min is up - you put it down and run 400 meters again. So let's say I got 75 meters with it in 1 min. I drop it there and circle back around to it. Pick it up again - and go as far as you can in one minute - drop it and loop around. Keep doing this until the OBJECT has traveled the 800 meters (or 1200 meters if you go with the Extra Challenge)

You will need to wear a watch!

You can also do this with like a farmers walk!

If you do not have a way to track your meters for the run and/or object carry, you can do something similar to the Row/Bike version but with 400m Run and 1 minute of step ups!

This is another one Coach Hinshaw made me do a long time ago and it was awful. I basically did it on a 400 meter loop. I would run from my sandbag - 400 meters back to it - take it as far as I could in a minute and keep repeating for 1200 meters. - Miranda

ROW VERSION

Row Version:

7 Rounds
Row 500 meters
1 Min Max Box Step ups holding heavy object

Score is total time! Note your step up reps in the comments.

COACHES NOTES
Step ups should be 18-24" and can be with a sandbag on the shoulder/back - or a plate held in a bear hug position. You can also do the step ups holding dumbbells.

BIKE VERSION

Bike Version:

7 Rounds
Bike 30 Cal (Men) /22 Calories (Women)
1 Min Max Box Step ups holding heavy object

Score is total time! Note your step up reps in the comments.

COACHES NOTES
Step ups should be 18-24" and can be with a sandbag on the shoulder/back - or a plate held in a bear hug position. You can also do the step ups holding dumbbells.

TIMED VERSION

For RUNNERS, this version is great if the Run Version calls for running specific distances but you don't have access to measured distances.

For NON-RUNNERS, this version is great if you have a piece of equipment other than a bike or rower that you'd like to use (like a road bike, elliptical, etc.) but the unit(s) of measurement do not convert directly to the Concept2 Row Erg or the Assault Bike!

Timed / No Measured Distance Version:

7 Rounds
2 Min Run
1 Min Heavy Object Run/Carry/Step Ups

Score is total distance if you have a watch or something that you can use to track it!

COACHES NOTES
This version is great if you don't have a measured distance for the 400m Runs or to track the distance of the object carry. It's also great if you have a piece of equipment other than bike/rower that you'd like to use.

If you go with the step ups, they should be 18-24" and can be with a sandbag on the shoulder/back - or a plate held in a bear hug position. You can also do the step ups holding dumbbells. See Run Version for options for the heavy object carry/run.

 
BUTTS & GUTS | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 

Butts and Guts is posted once a week, on Sundays. These workouts are for anyone who wants more work on the posterior and midline and can be added in whatever day makes most sense for you!

We typically suggest that when you add this workout in to the regular program - or even to one of the other accessory workouts - to treat it as a finisher as opposed to doing it before. You can find suggestions for which workouts the Butts and Guts workouts will fit in with best in the write ups for Program A, B, and C each week!


WARM UP
LOWER BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Part 1

Every 2 Minutes for 10 Minutes


10 Single Leg Dumbbell Deadlifts, Right
10 Single Leg Dumbbell Deadlifts, Left

Rest 1-2 Minutes before Part 2

Suggested Weights
Men: 35-55# DBs/KBs
Women: 20-35# DBs/KBs

Log Weight Used

COACHES NOTES
So when the clock starts, you'll perform 10 single leg deadlifts on your right leg and then 10 single leg deadlifts on your left leg. Rest any time remaining in the 2-minute window. When 2:00 hits, do another set of 10 and 10. Continue that pattern until 10 minutes are up.

Make sure that you are keeping your shoulders and upper back ACTIVE during the deadlifts. If the weights start to drift forward because you're allowing them to, you're more likely to be knocked off balance or fall into a poor posture.

SINGLE LEG DUMBBELL DEADLIFT
Hold a dumbbell in each hand. 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.


Part 2

Every 2 Minutes for 10 Minutes


15 Side Elbow Plank Leg Lifts, Right
15 Side Elbow Plank Leg Lifts, Left

Customize with:
20 Sec Side Elbow Plank + 15 Side Lying Leg Lifts, R
20 Sec Side Elbow Plank + 15 Side Lying Leg Lifts, L

No score for this one! Just get the work done within each 2-minute window!

COACHES NOTES
Just like with the single leg deadlifts, you'll complete 15 reps on BOTH sides within the 2 minutes and then rest any time remaining.

You ARE NOT expected to do the side plank leg lifts without support! Touch your free hand to the floor in front of you or do them in front of a wall or something so you have something to help you balance.

As listed - you can customize this one by breaking up the side elbow plank and the leg lifts. Hold for 20 seconds on your right side, drop your hips/legs down and knock out 15 leg lifts. Then switch and do the same on the other side.

SIDE ELBOW PLANK LEG LIFT
Start lying on one side with your torso propped up with your elbow. Your legs should be straight and stacked one above the other. From here, lift the top leg up to 45-degree without letting your upper hip rotate back - that way your outer butt muscles are doing the work! Keep your hips squared straight ahead even if that means you can't lift your leg as high! From there, lower your leg back down to start the next rep.

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.

Side Plank Leg Lifts

Side planks can be a really great tool for core strengthening during pregnancy and postpartum but if you notice that you're bearing down, holding your breathing, coning/doming, or feel unstable with this movement, feel free to modify to Side Plank Hold, any variation of Functional Progression 2, DB Windmills, Pallof Press, Bear Pose Shoulder Taps, Bear Crawl, or Functional Progression 1.

 
SANDBAG | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 

Street Parking Sandbag is posted once a week - on Sunday. You will find a sandbag "option" several times during the week (usually in Program C) of the regular programmed workouts. This workout, however, was programmed specifically with the sandbag in mind.

We typically suggest that instead of adding this in on top of the regular workout on any certain day - that you simply swap one of the regular programmed workouts out for this one. We will provide suggestions each week in the daily workout write ups for Programs A, B, and C - for which workouts make the most sense to swap.


WARM UP
SANDBAG GENERAL WARM UP

WORKOUT

5 Rounds

200m Burden Run
20 Side to Side Push Press
100m Bear Hug Carry
20 Sandbag Slams

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

Score: Total Time

Goal: 23-30 minutes

COACHES NOTES
Each round should take 4:30-6:00. That breaks down to 1:30-2:00 for the burden run, :40-1:00 for the push presses, :40-1:00 for the bear hug carry, and 1:30-2:00 for the slams, which are from the shoulder. If you can't run or carry due to space or weather, customize with a march or low step ups.

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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Shorten distance to fit time window
Back Rack Low Step Ups (4-8" Step)

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER PUSH PRESS
Start with the sandbag on one shoulder. 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 sandbag off of the shoulder and finish with a press straight to lock out. Biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight. Lower the bag down onto the opposite shoulder. Each time you press counts as one rep. So 20 reps is 10 on each side.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Regular Push Press
Adjust reps to fit movement goal window

SANDBAG BEAR HUG CARRY
Hold the bag against your chest with your arms wrapped around the bag. Keep your belly tight as you walk. Avoid leaning back, stand up tall. Draw your elbows back alongside your ribcage to keep the bag close to your body.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Shorten distance to fit time window
Bear Hug March/Low Step Ups (4-8" Step)

SANDBAG SLAM
Start with the bag on the ground between your feet. Grip the sides of the bag and clean it to your right shoulder. Step forward with your left foot, use your hips to slam the bag straight down to the ground.

The goal is to slam the bag down as hard as possible using power from forward rotation of your hips.

Set up and bring the bar to your left shoulder and repeat.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust reps to fit the time window
Sandbag Power Clean

 
POWER | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 

STREET PARKING POWER - Ongoing program designed to build strength through emphasis on major lifts like Back Squat, Front Squat, Deadlift, Shoulder Press and Bench Press.

This may also include assistance exercises to support good mechanics and healthy tissue.

Typically we suggest adding this in before the regular daily workout if performing them on the same day. Days in which this workout will fit in best can be found on the daily program write ups!


WARM UP
GENERAL BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

5 Sets of 10 Reps (5 Reps Per Side)

Back Rack Split Squat

Rest 2-3 Minutes between sets.

COACHES NOTES
For these back rack split squats you will do all 5 on one side and then all 5 on the other. You will get into a lunge position and stay there for 5 reps - then step in and switch sides!

Do a few warm up sets to determine a good starting weight for yourself. Do not count any warm up sets toward the 5 working sets. You can build across the five sets or stay at the same weight but all working sets should be heavy!

BACK RACK SPLIT SQUAT
Start with the bar on your back. Once in the lunge position you will go down and touch the back knee to the ground while keeping the front heel on the ground. Drive out of the front heel, but keep your weight balanced on both feet to stand. Make sure that your feet are not like on a tight rope but are about hip/shoulder width apart (side to side) too. Try not to let the chest come forward as you lunge. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Do all 5 on one side then switch feet without re-racking or dropping the bar.


5-5-3-3-1-1-1

Shoulder Press


Rest 2 minutes between sets

Score is heaviest single

**So you perform 2 sets of 5, 2 sets of 3, and 3 single reps

COACHES NOTES
For this you'll perform 2 sets of 5 reps, then 2 sets of 3 reps, then 3 single reps - resting 2 minutes between each set. The goal is to go heavier with each set. It helps if you have a weight you're shooting to hit on the third single and then work backwards from there in 5-10# increments to have an idea of where to start.

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTION
The shoulder press is a press overhead without using the legs or hips to assist the upper body. You will squeeze the cheeks, pull the ribcage down and in, bar is on the shoulders with the elbows slightly in front. Move the face back and press the bar straight up.

Once the bar has cleared the head/face you can bring the head back to neutral and continue pressing the bar UP! Lock out completely and pull the bar back over the middle of the body.

When lowering the bar back down - if you need to you may absorb with the knees. Just no assist from that dip to help the next rep.

 
GYMNASTICS | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 

Street Parking Gymnastics is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are for those interested in building more strength, stamina, and skill in the gymnastics movements. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

Depending on where you are adding this in - it can be great for a warm up - or after the main workout. It also goes well combined with an Endurance workout, or often Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts!


WARM UP
GYMNASTICS PULL WARM UP
GYMNASTICS PRESS WARM UP

WORKOUT

Part 1

EMOM x 7 min
(Every Minute on the Minute for 7 minutes)


10-sec Active Hang
5 Scap Pull Ups
5 Kip Swings

COACHES NOTES
If you complete all the work within the minute, count that as a round toward your score. Max is 7.

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
For the Active Bar Hang, begin hanging from the pull-up bar, with a shoulder width grip (hands will be shoulder width apart). Engage the lats by pulling the shoulders down. There should be sizable space between the tops of your shoulders and your ears. Tighten the core by pulling your belly button into your spine. This will help flatten out the lower back, setting you in a hollowed position. Squeeze the glutes and round the hips under to further engage the core. Keep your legs as tight as possible by squeezing the quads, and pointing your toes.

For the Scap Pull Ups, begin in a dead hang on the bar, with your hands shoulder width apart. Engage the lats by "pulling down on the bar", creating as much space as possible between your shoulders and ears. Hold for two seconds. Lower back down into your dead hang position.

For the Kip Swings, begin in a dead hang on the bar, with your hands shoulder width apart. Engage the lats by "pulling down on the bar", creating as much space as possible between your shoulders and ears. With your legs long and toes pointed, pull against the bar as you swing your feet back. Once your head and chest are forward, press into the bar as you swing your feet forward. Pull on the bar again once your torso is behind the bar. Note: Smaller and tighter positions are better than larger, out of control positions! Make sure you are fully engaged.


Part 2

Max Effort Handstand Hold

COACHES NOTES
Log your reps as however many seconds you held for. That may mean converting minutes to seconds (Total # of Full Minutes Completed x 60 + Any Additional Seconds - So if I held for 2:13, it's 2 x 60 = 120, + 13 = 133 seconds)

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.

HANDSTAND HOLD
Stack your hips as directly over your shoulders as you possibly can. Be sure to keep your quads and butt squeezed tight. Imagine you're tucking your ribcage into your belly button. Continuously press your hands into the floor, driving your shoulders into your ears. Keep your chin tucked and head neutral.


Part 3

4 Rounds FOR QUALITY


15 Kipping Pull Ups
30-sec L-Sit (or V-Sit)
0.5x Time of Max Effort Handstand Hold

Rest 1 minute between Rounds

COACHES NOTES
The goal for these kipping pull ups is to improve your stamina so, ideally, they should be done in no more than 2 sets. If you would need to break these 15 up more than twice, consider reducing the total # of reps to something you CAN do in two sets. (For instance, if you know you could do two sets of 5 but that would be your limit, reduce to 10 reps). If you can only do 1-2 reps at a time, your goal today should be to squeeze out a rep or two more. Do this 3-4 times before moving onto the next movement.

If you choose to do the V-Sit, it's the same idea as the L-Sit except you'll be seated on the ground with a kettlebell or dumbbell in front of you. You'll extend your legs up over the weight, working hard to sit up tall and keep your spine long.

For the handstand hold, you'll cut your max effort hold in half and complete that time at the end of each round. So if your max effort hold is 2:30, you'll hold for 1:15 each round. You can accumulate that time if you need to. All the same points of performance apply.

MOVEMENT DESCRIPTIONS
For the L-Sit, set up parallettes, stacks of plates, boxes, or chairs just outside of hip-width apart. Stand inside of your supports and place your hands onto them. Pressing into the supports to create space between your shoulders and ears, lift your feet from the ground and reach your legs out in front of you. Ideally, you'll lock your knees out, squeezing your quads tight and pointing your toes. You can bend at the knees and/or tuck them closer to your belly to make this more accessible.

 
SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 

Street Parking Suns Out Guns Out is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are great for those interested in adding in more work building strength and stamina through more isolation type movements in the upper body.

We typically suggest these workouts be added in as more of a "finisher" after the main workout that day. They can also easily be added to many of the Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts workout - to make a session all its own!

Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule - and make sure to check out the daily write up for A, B, and C to see where these workouts fit in best each week!


WARM UP
PULL UP WARM UP
UPPER BODY BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Part 1

3-5 Rounds
Max Strict Chin Ups
Max Banded Chin Ups

Rest 3 Min Between Rounds

Score is total Strict Chin Up reps!

COACHES NOTES
If you are unable to do strict chin ups - no problem. Customize with 5 Sets of 7 jump and slow lower chin ups.

Even if you can only get like 2-3 strict chin ups per round. Still do that part.

Choose a band that helps, but not TOO much. We don't want you getting more than like 10-12 more reps with the band each time.

If you don't have a band you can do the strict chin ups and then a set of kipping regular pull ups OR you can do rows to failure.


Part 2

3-5 Rounds
Max Strict Dips
Max Skull Crushers

Rest 3 Min between rounds

Score is total Strict Dip reps!

COACHES NOTES
You can do the dips on a stationary dip station or on the rings. If you have neither you can try setting up 2 boxes, chairs, your counter tops -whatever.

If you are unable to do any strict dips. You may sub 5 rounds of 7 jump and slow lower, followed by the max skull crushers.

Choose a weight for the skull crushers that won't allow you to get more than 10-15 reps after the dips. So light, but not insanely light.

For the dips, make sure you get the shoulder below the elbow at the bottom and complete lockout at the top!


Part 3

Tabata Strict Press
(RESTING WITH BAR LOCKED OUT OVERHEAD!!)

4 Minutes of
20 Seconds ON
10 Seconds OFF

Barbell Strict Press

Score is total reps.

For the 10 Second OFF portion hold the bar locked out overhead!

COACHES NOTES
Do this with an EMPTY bar! If you don't have a barbell you may use dumbbells but go SUPER light.

Bar starts on the shoulder. When the clock starts you do as many reps strict press (no help from the legs) as possible.

When the clock hits 20 seconds you will "rest" in the lockout position at the top.

Repeat this 8 times or for a total of 4 min.

For each rep you must touch the shoulder at the bottom and get completely locked out with the bar over your head at the top!

Keep the ribs down and fight the urge to overarch!

 
OLY | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 

Street Parking OLY is posted once a week, on Sunday. These workouts are great for those who want to add in more work on technique and going heavy in the olympic lifts. We typically suggest adding this in BEFORE the regular daily programmed workout.

You can find the days that adding this in will work the best in the daily programming write ups.


WARM UP
SNATCH WARM UP

WORKOUT

3 Sets of 6 Reps (2 Reps at Each Position):

3 Position Muscle Snatch

High Hang (Pockets)
Hang (Above Knees)
Floor (Mid-Shin)

COACHES NOTES
This is meant to be done as a warm up and the first set of this should be done super light - like an empty bar.

You will perform 2 reps of a muscle snatch from the high hang. This means you will deadlift the bar to the waist with a wide - snatch - grip. Feet should be roughly under the hips with the heels down. Arms are long and straight. You will perform a dip from this position, but a very shallow one. In this "high hang" dip you will bend the knees slightly - keep the butt back but keep the chest up. It is very shallow and the bar shouldn't really move down the leg. Keep the arms straight. From here you will stand up hard and fast, shrug, pull the elbows high and outside so that the bar goes up the body, then punch to lock out overhead.

The second rep each time will be from above the knees. So again the bar starts at the waist - but this time the dip is much deeper to initiate. You will keep the heels down and bend the knees slightly. Reach the butt back back and allow the bar to travel down the leg keeping the arms straight. Lower to just above the knee. From here it is a controlled pull up the leg and out of the dip and finish off again with the explosive up, shrug, high elbows and punch to lock out.

The final rep will be from mid shin or with the plates on the floor. Make sure the heels are down and the shoulders are higher than the hips - hips higher than the knees. Have a nice and controlled pull off of the ground and past the knees keeping the bar close to the body and the arms straight. Finish the same way you did with the other 2!

Do 3 sets of 2 reps at each position.


8 Sets of 1 Rep
(Perform 1 Rep every 90 Seconds for 12 Minutes)


Power Snatch

COACHES NOTES
1 rep every 90 seconds for 12 Min! Use these 8 sets to build up to a heavy single but don't go so heavy that you're at risk of failing the rep!

For the power snatch the bar will start on the ground. Heels are roughly hip to shoulder width apart. Grip is wide and arms are long and straight. Hinge forward at the hip and bend the knees slightly. Chest up and higher than hips. Back flat.

Drive through the heels and lift the chest. Keep the arms straight as you stand. Pull the bar into the body. Rotate the torso upright once past the knees Stand up hard and fast. SHRUG the shoulders. Keep the bar close! Pull the elbows high and outside as the bar travels up the body. Rotate the bar and press out overhead FAST! At the same time pull yourself under slightly by reaching the butt back and bending the knees. Keep the heels down, chest up, belly tight, and knees out! Think PUNCH to lock out! Belly tight. Butt squeezed! Bar over the middle of the body. Stand fully to complete the rep.


30 Reps

Behind the Neck Shoulder Press

COACHES NOTES
For this you will use a wide grip. Make sure you move the head slightly forward when pressing up and lowering. Keep the belly tight and work to keep the armpits forward and shoulder blades tucked in! Pause at the top of each rep for 1 second before lowering.

 
ENDURANCE | WEEK 39 | 09/19/2021
 
Endurance.jpg

For this week's Endurance we are posting 5k/10k run options since normally we would be hosting our meet up in Hawaii for the Ultimate Hawaiian Trail Run this weekend! For more info on the the trail run and how you can support the Keala Foundation which provides an amazing after school support program for the kids on Kauai head to Members Only > Get Involved > UHTR x SP Virtual Run.

Of course there are bike/row options here too!

The idea is to choose ONE of the following and do it this week. Not ALL of them.

Use this
Endurance Conversion Chart if your choice of equipment is not listed below.


RUN VERSION

Run Versions:

5k Run

*if you have no way of tracking your distance -
Run at a moderate pace for 25-30 Min

- OR -

10k Run
*if you have no way of tracking your distance -
Run at a moderate pace for 50-60 Min

40 Min Max Cal Bike

COACHES NOTES
Shooting for around 300 Cals for Men and 200 Cals for Women if you go with the 20 min option. For the 40 min option, men are looking for 450-500 cals and women are looking for 350-400!

If you have a different type of bike - you can still do this one and just go for distance or calories! Regardless of what bike you have just cruise at an uncomfortable but sustainable pace!

TIMED VERSION

For RUNNERS, this version is great if the Run Version calls for running specific distances but you don't have access to measured distances.

For NON-RUNNERS, this version is great if you have a piece of equipment other than a bike or rower that you'd like to use (like a road bike, elliptical, etc.) but the unit(s) of measurement do not convert directly to the Concept2 Row Erg or the Assault Bike!

BUTTS AND GUTS | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 

Butts and Guts is posted once a week, on Sundays. These workouts are for anyone who wants more work on the posterior and midline and can be added in whatever day makes most sense for you!

We typically suggest that when you add this workout in to the regular program - or even to one of the other accessory workouts - to treat it as a finisher as opposed to doing it before. You can find suggestions for which workouts the Butts and Guts workouts will fit in with best in the write ups for Program A, B, and C each week!


WARM UP
LOWER BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

4 Rounds (24 Minutes Total)

Each Round is on a 6-Min Clock

Min 0-2: 18 Tempo DB Squats (Read Coaches Notes for Tempo)
Min 2-4: 24 Box Hamstring Curls
Min 4-6: 36 Up-Down Planks

Suggested Weights
Men: 40-55# DB/KBs
Women: 25-35# DB/KBs

Log: Weight Used for the DB Squats

COACHES NOTES
So within each 2-minute window, you'll get the work done and then rest any time remaining in the 2 minutes. After you've completed the section of up-down planks, you'll start back over with the squats. Continue following that pattern until you've done each movement 4 times.

The tempo for the dumbbell squats is 3 seconds down, no pause at the bottom, stand up fast, and pause for 1 second at the top before starting the next rep.

DUMBBELL SQUAT
Hold the DBs at the shoulder. 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. Control the descent over 3 seconds. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Stand all the way up at the top and pause for a second before lowering down for the next rep.

BOX HAMSTRING CURL
Lie on your back with your box at your feet. Prop your heels onto the edge of the box and adjust the height and/or distance of your hips to the box so that your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. With your hands at your sides, drive into your heels to lift your hips up. Concentrate on squeezing your hamstrings and glutes to lift. Lower back to the ground under control.

UP DOWN PLANKS
You will start in a plank position on the elbows. One hand at a time come up to the hands - then back down to the elbows. Alternate which hand comes up and down first for each rep.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Box Hamstring Curls

This could be a great movement for postpartum mamas looking to rebuild posterior chain strength! However, if you're pregnant and lying on your back is uncomfortable, feel free to sub Hip Thrusts, Good Mornings, or Sumo Stance Romanian Deadlifts.

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.

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.

 
SANDBAG | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 

Street Parking Sandbag is posted once a week - on Sunday. You will find a sandbag "option" several times during the week (usually in Program C) of the regular programmed workouts. This workout, however, was programmed specifically with the sandbag in mind.

We typically suggest that instead of adding this in on top of the regular workout on any certain day - that you simply swap one of the regular programmed workouts out for this one. We will provide suggestions each week in the daily workout write ups for Programs A, B, and C - for which workouts make the most sense to swap.


WARM UP
SANDBAG GENERAL WARM UP

WORKOUT

4 Rounds

15 Lungesters
15 Seated Side to Side
15 Sandbag Burpees
15 Seated Side to Side

Suggested Loading:
Men: 50-70# Bag
Women: 25-45# Bag

Score: Total Time

Goal: 24-30 Minutes

** Don't go longer than 30 minutes!

COACHES NOTES
This is definitely a longer workout today and it will be a grind. Rounds should stay in the 6-8 minute range. Give yourself 2:00-2:30 for the Lungesters and 1:30-2:00 for the Sandbag Burpees. Definitely adjust the reps on the seated side to sides so they take about 1:00-1:30. If you are working with a heavier bag, consider adjusting the reps of each movement prior to the workout to stay within those goal windows. Test them all out in your warm up.

SANDBAG LUNGESTER
This is two front rack lunges plus one thruster. 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.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
2 Sandbag Step Ups + 1 Thruster
Adjust the reps to fit the movement goal window.

SANDBAG SEATED SIDE TO SIDE
Each time the bag goes across your body counts as a rep.

Sit on the ground next to your sandbag with a straight spine, legs extended out in front of you. Twist and grip whatever handle combination feels the best. Lift or drag the bag across your body over to the other side. That is one rep. Keep your chest up the whole time, try to avoid rounding the spine.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust the reps to fit the movement time window.
Dumbbell/Plate Russian Twist

SANDBAG BURPEE
This is simply a burpee holding onto the sandbag. Get all the way to the ground, chest to the bag. Step or jump your feet back in, tighten the belly, drop your butt, lift your chest, and grab the handles. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug and pull/guide the bag all the way overhead.

CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust the reps to fit the movement goal window
No Push Up Sandbag Burpee
Burpee High Pull

 
POWER | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 

STREET PARKING POWER - Ongoing program designed to build strength through emphasis on major lifts like Back Squat, Front Squat, Deadlift, Shoulder Press and Bench Press.

This may also include assistance exercises to support good mechanics and healthy tissue.

Typically we suggest adding this in before the regular daily workout if performing them on the same day. Days in which this workout will fit in best can be found on the daily program write ups!


WARM UP
GENERAL BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

7 Sets of 3

Sumo Deadlift

Rest as Needed Between Sets

COACHES NOTES
Rest as needed between sets. Go up each set if possible.

For this your stance will be slightly wider than your squat stance. Toes are turned out slightly grip is inside the legs. Bar will start against the shins with your arms straight and your chest up.

To start the pull, drive through your heels as you lift up through your chest. Keep the bar close and your knees pulled back and out of the way. Stand all of the way up to finish - no need to lean back or shrug at the top. Focus on driving the knees out throughout.


4 Sets of 6-8 Reps

Supine Grip Barbell Bent Over Row

Rest as Needed Between Sets

COACHES NOTES
Rest as needed between sets. Find a weight that 6 is attainable but more than 8 would be a stretch and try to hold weight for all 4 sets.

Bar starts at mid shin with a hinge at the hip and slight bend of the knees. Grip should be underhand (palms forward). Keep the bar close to the body and pull the elbows back as you pull the bar to between the belly button and chest. Pull it all of the way up!

Lower the weight under control all of the way down to straight elbows at the bottom of each rep!

 
GYMNASTICS | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 

Street Parking Gymnastics is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are for those interested in building more strength, stamina, and skill in the gymnastics movements. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

Depending on where you are adding this in - it can be great for a warm up - or after the main workout. It also goes well combined with an Endurance workout, or often Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts!


WARM UP
GYMNASTICS PULL WARM UP
GYMNASTICS PRESS WARM UP

WORKOUT

7 Min EMOM
(Every Minute on the Minute for 7 Minutes)

3-5 Jumping Bar or Ring Muscle Ups

YES - do jumping even if you already have this skill. Make these pretty!! Focus on no "chicken wing" or sloppiness in the transition.

COACHES NOTES
Ok, so we want you to jump from a height that is difficult somewhat but REALLY allows you to practice good positions and good technique.

Bend the knees so that at the bottom the arms are straight. Practice that kipping motion forward and back. As you go back use your lats pressing down! From that position use your legs but also pull down with the lats keeping the arms as straight as possible to bring your hips to the bar or rings. Do a big sit up.

If doing ring muscle ups pause for a second in the bottom of the dip. Focus on keeping the rings close together throughout!

No score for this - we are going QUALITY over QUANTITY.


7 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 7 Min)

1 Strict Pull Up
1 Strict Dip
2 Strict Pull Ups
2 Strict Dips
3 Strict Pull Ups
3 Strict Dips...

Keep going up by 1

Score: Last Round where you completed both + any additional reps.

Goal: Get to at least 7-7

So if you get through the 7-7 and then get 3 strict pull ups in the round of 8s, your score is 7+3.

COACHES NOTES
For this - the goal is PRETTY low. Because if you CAN do these unassisted - go for it.

If you need a band assistance or to do slow negatives - that is ok too.

The MAIN priority with this one is full range of motion. ALL of the way down at the bottom of the pull up - chin completely over at the top.

For the dips you can do stationary - ring - between 2 boxes - whatever. Dip the chest and shoulders forward and get the shoulder lower than the elbow at the bottom. Lock out completely at the top.

STRICT PULL UPS
Keep your whole body engaged and avoid using any momentum or swing. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and draw your shoulders down away from your ears. Arms should be completely straight. Squeeze your belly, your butt and your legs to create a tight position. Pull your body up until your chin is above the bar. Lower with control until arms are straight.

STRICT DIP
Start at the top of the rings (or stationary bar) with your elbows fully locked out, palms turned forward slightly, and shoulders pressed away from the ears. Lower your torso down, keeping your elbows back and tight to your sides. Make sure your shoulder is lower than your elbow at the bottom. Then press into the rings, keeping them close to your sides. Lock out fully at the top.


7 Min

30 Seconds ON
30 Seconds OFF

Shoot Throughs

Extra Challenge : No Touch in the Front

1 rep = Forward and Back

Score: Total Reps from the whole 7 min.

COACHES NOTES
For these shoot throughs you will have the hands each on an elevated SOMETHING. This can be 2 benches, 2 boxes, paralletes, 2 chairs, 2 stacks of plates - whatever.

You will start in the top of a push up position in a good hollow body position. You will tuck the knees and swing forward and through to a straight leg/straight arm position with the feet out in front and the hips UP!

Then you will come back through to the original starting position. All of that is 1 rep.

For Extra Challenge you will not allow your feet to touch in the front. You still need to kick your legs to completely straight though. See demo for details on that one.

 
SUNS OUT GUNS OUT | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 

Street Parking Suns Out Guns Out is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are great for those interested in adding in more work building strength and stamina through more isolation type movements in the upper body.

We typically suggest these workouts be added in as more of a "finisher" after the main workout that day. They can also easily be added to many of the Power, Oly, or Butts and Guts workout - to make a session all its own!

Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule - and make sure to check out the daily write up for A, B, and C to see where these workouts fit in best each week!


WARM UP
PULL UP WARM UP
UPPER BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Part 1

4 Sets


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!

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

Ideally, you should get 10 or more pull ups in the first round. If you need to, use bands, ring rows or bent over rows instead of pull ups. 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.

Shoot for at least 15 reps on the push ups in the first round. If you need to on the push ups, go to your knees or elevate your hands to keep a rigid body position and achieve full range of motion.


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

COACHES NOTES
This 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 lots of reps!

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.

 
OLY | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 

Street Parking OLY is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are for those interested in adding in some additional work going heavy and working technique in the Olympic lifts. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

We typically suggest doing this workout BEFORE the regular programmed workout that day if doing both in one session. You can find suggestions on which days each week it will fit in best on the descriptions in Program A, B, and C on Wodify and the Members Only Website!


WARM UP
GENERAL BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Part 1:

Every Other Min for 12 Min

(6 Sets Total)

3 Squat Cleans
2 Thrusters
1 Jerk

Rest 3 Min Before Part 2

Score: Heaviest Weight Used

Goal: Do the whole complex unbroken - heavy but with good movement!

COACHES NOTES
All sets should be heavy. Warm up before starting the clock!

Perform all 6 reps without putting the bar down. Stand up out of the squat clean and then go into the thrusters. Lower to your shoulders after the 2nd thruster THEN hit the jerk!

For the squat clean you will start with the bar on the ground. Hands will be outside the legs with about a hip width stance with the feet!

You will have a slight bend in the knee, heels down, arms straight, bar close to the body, chest up.

Stand keeping the arms long and bar close to the body. Drive through the heels and pick up speed after you pass the knees. Almost jump with the bar as you shrug the shoulders, and pull yourself underneath as the elbows shoot through and the bar lands on the shoulder. You will land in the bottom of the squat with the elbows high. 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.

For the thrusters the bar will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the bar on the shoulders and keeping the elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the bar off of the body. Move the face out of the way and press the bar straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

Push Jerks start with bar on the shoulders in front of you, elbows high. Your feet are under your hips and your heels are down.

Dip keeping the heels down into a quarter squat. Keep the chest up. Stand up hard and fast. Drive the power from the legs into the bar.

As the bar travels up, push your body down to receive it with arms locked out overhead in a partial squat. Stand up all the way.

You could also go with a split jerk on this one.


Part 2:

Every Other Min for 12 Min:

(6 Sets Total)

1 Squat Clean
2 Thrusters
3 Jerks

Score: Heaviest Weight Used

Goal: Doing the whole complex without having to break

COACHES NOTES
You may need to lower the weight for this part - or you may be able to use the same weight from Part 1. All depends on your overhead and pressing strength.

 
ENDURANCE | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
 
Endurance.jpg

Street Parking Endurance is posted once a week, on Sunday. It is meant for anyone looking to build a bigger engine through extra work on the rower, bike or running. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

For the most part we recommend doing the Endurance workout as a stand alone workout in its own session or even its own day. You know your fitness and recovery level - but that is our general suggestion.

Use this Endurance Conversion Chart if your choice of equipment is not listed below.

BUTTS AND GUTS | WEEK 37 | 09/05/2021
 

Butts and Guts is posted once a week, on Sundays. These workouts are for anyone who wants more work on the posterior and midline and can be added in whatever day makes most sense for you!

We typically suggest that when you add this workout in to the regular program - or even to one of the other accessory workouts - to treat it as a finisher as opposed to doing it before. You can find suggestions for which workouts the Butts and Guts workouts will fit in with best in the write ups for Program A, B, and C each week!


WARM UP
LOWER BODY DUMBBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Part 1

Every Minute on the Minute for 16 Minutes


Min 1: 12-15 Weighted Step Ups, Right
Min 2: 12-15 Weighted Step Ups, Left
Min 3: 20 Eye Level KB/DB Swings
Min 4: Rest

Suggested Weights
Men: 40-55# DB/KB(s)
Women: 25-35# DB/KB(s)

Log Weight Used for Step Ups

COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight for the step ups that will allow you to lower with some control. You should use the same weight for both legs - even if one is stronger than the other - so your weaker side will determine that. Make sure you're also doing the same number of reps on both sides and getting 10 seconds or so of rest. The swings should be pretty heavy! It's OK if you need to break once if you feel your chest starting to fall or your grip slipping.

DUMBBELL WEIGHTED STEP UP
Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Choose a height that allows you to really drive through the stepping foot and keep your chest up as you stand. Place your WHOLE foot on your step (box, bench whatever). Don't allow your knee to cave in. Drive out of your heel and stand all of the way up. Because you are staying on the same leg, you can keep that foot planted on the box/step until the set is done.

EYE LEVEL SWING
Hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet shoulder width apart, heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted, heels down, belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the dumbbell weightless and (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight up to shoulder to eye level. Keep your shoulders nice and active by squeezing your shoulder blades together without overarching the back. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!


Part 2

8 Alternating Rounds of 20 Sec ON / 10 Sec OFF


A: Alternating Supermans
B: Alternating V-Ups

No score for this one! Just dig deep to move for the entire 20 seconds each round!

COACHES NOTES
So Round 1 is 20 seconds of as many alternating supermans as you can get. Then rest 10 seconds. Round 2 is 20 seconds of as many alternating V-Ups as you can get. Then rest 10 seconds. Continue alternating until you've completed 8 rounds (4 of each movement).

ALTERNATING SUPERMANS
Lie face down with your arms extended overhead and legs together and extended. Keep some engagement through your belly as you lift your right arm and left leg from the floor. Reach your fingertips and toes as far as you can in opposite directions while you elevate them as high as you can from the floor. Lower down slow. Then lift your left arm and right leg from the floor. Continue alternating sides each rep.

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.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

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.

DB 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

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.

Alt V-Up

This movement is a big demand for the core and pelvic floor and for the most part, is 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, with knees bent, just arms, or just legs. However you can also always sub one of the following movements: Any of the Functional Progressions, Ball Slams, Heel Taps, KB Swings, DB Windmill, Palloff Press, Banded/Wallball Woodchop, Standing Cross Body Wallball Throws, Goblet Hold/Squat, Waiter Walk, or any other movement from the Core Section of the Mama Mods Movement Library.

These rounds are meant to go FAST! You'll be resting for about as long as you are working in each round. This will allow you to keep the intensity high and recover enough between rounds to do so (at least the first 3 rounds). Rounds 4 and 5 should be a real fight! The bear complex reps should take a minute or less. Make sure you breathe on the burpees and find a smooth sustainable pace rather than a lot of stop and start.

SANDBAG BEAR COMPLEX
For this complex, you have a few options:
- Squat Clean Thruster
- Back Rack Thruster

OR

You can do:
- Power Clean
- Front Squat
- Push Press or Jerk
- Back Squat
- Push Press or Jerk

OR some combination of the two.

Do not RUSH through these reps. Get set up well for the clean. Keep the back flat and focus on a great clean (either version).

If you are doing a thruster, make sure the sandbag is on the shoulders, heels are down, knees are out. Feed the press with the drive from the legs.

When lowering onto the back - BE CAREFUL and absorb the catch with the knees! Then make sure you are reset before squatting.

Reach the butt back and down, keep the heels down and chest up. Feed the press with the leg drive for this thruster or push press/jerk too!

BURPEE
Burpees start standing. Place your hands on the ground. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in. Jump up and clap with arms overhead!

WARM UP
GENERAL BARBELL WARM UP

WORKOUT

Every 2 Minutes for 10 Minutes

7 Reps Back Squat

COACHES NOTES
You'll complete 1 set of 7 reps every 2 minutes for 10 minutes - so you'll be completing 5 sets of 7 reps.

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.

BACK SQUAT
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.


Every 2 Minutes for 10 Minutes

7 Reps Bench Press

COACHES NOTES
You'll complete 1 set of 7 reps every 2 minutes for 10 minutes - so you'll be completing 5 sets of 7 reps.

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.

BENCH PRESS
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.
