OLY | WEEK 28
 

Check out the Barbell Warm up and the Clean Warm Up before today's session!

Muscle Clean (5 x 3 (3= ground, below knee, above knee))

This movement is all about the UP portion of the clean. There is no pull under or rebend of the knees. Start light and focus on power and speed. You may add weight as long as the turnover still fast!

For the first rep. The bar will start on the ground with the feet under the hips. Hinge at the waist, bend the knees slightly, keep the heels down. Keep the chest up and back flat with the arms straight. The bar should be very close to the body.

Stand and pull the bar by digging the heels into the ground as you lift your chest and pull the bar in close to the body! From here, you will finish the up by scooping the hips under and almost JUMPING with the bar once past the knees. Shrug the shoulders - then pull the elbows high and outside - rotate the elbows back through QUICKLY and get the bar on the shoulder with the elbows high!

No - rebend.

For rep 2, you will do the exact same thing except you will lower the bar to just below the knee and not to the ground. For rep 3 you will lower the bar to just above the knee.

Start light and only add weight if you are able to maintain SPEED!

Rest as needed between sets.

Power Clean (7 x 2 (Do not need to be touch and go))

Score is heaviest set!
1 Set every 2:30

These do not need to be touch and go. But there should be very minimal time between dropping rep 1 and getting set for rep 2.

For this movement you will pull the bar off of the ground similar to a deadlift. You should have a slight bend in the knee, chest up, heels down with the hands outside of the legs! You will pick the bar up leading with the chest and driving through the heels. Keep the arms straight! Once you are past the knees you will begin to pick up speed and finally finish with the legs and hips fast! Add a shrug (arms still straight).

Then focus on keeping the bar close as you pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Butt goes back, elbows come high, bar on the shoulders. Stand to complete each rep.

The sets of 3s and 2s should be touch and go if possible!

 
GYMNASTICS | WEEK 28
 

Street Parking Gymnastics is programmed once a week, on Sunday. This workout is great for anyone looking to build more strength, stamina, and body awareness by using the gymnastics movements and fundamentals. These workouts are programmed by Street Parking Coach and former National Level Gymnast - Kati Breazeal. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule!

Have something specific you want to work on? Check out the progression programs we have for movements like pull ups, push ups, and more!

2 Rounds
30 Seconds Box Pigeon (Right + Left)
30 Seconds Standing Straddle with Alternating Bent Knees
30 Seconds Bench Shoulder Stretch

No Score!

Box Pigeon (30 Sec per Side):
1. Begin standing in front of your box, toes face forward. The height of the box may vary— The taller the box, the more challenging the stretch.
2. Lift your right foot, and set it flat on top of the box.
3. Shift your right foot to the left, until it sits even with your left hip.
4. Allow your right knee to gently fall to the right, pressing towards the box.
5. Use your right hand to apply more pressure to the right knee, if a greater stretch is desired.
6. Make sure to keep the bottom (left) leg straight, and hips open. Your chest may fold forward, over the right leg, in order to increase the stretch.
7. Repeat on the opposite side.

Standing Straddle with Alternating Bent Knees:
1. Begin standing with your feet outside the hips; soft bend in the knees.
2. Hinging at the hips, allow your chest to fall forward, between your legs as much as possible. Allow the arms to extend down, hanging the hands towards the floor.
3. Keeping the left leg straight, bend the right knee and lift only the right heel off the ground.
4. Sink deeper into the stretch (chest between the legs). You should feel the left hamstring stretching, while the right hamstring relaxes.
5. Switch legs: Lock out the right leg, and bend the left knee, lifting the left heel off the ground.
6. Sink into the stretch as much as possible.
7. Continue alternating back and forth between both sides.

Bench Shoulder Stretch:
1. Begin sitting glutes-to-heels on the ground, facing your bench (or, any apparatus you are using: Chair, couch, desk, etc.)
2. Place your hands on the bench, palms down, and slide them forward until your elbows are supported. The goal is to keep the joint as comfortable and safe as possible.
3. Arms should be shoulder width apart.
4. With your knees together, lift your glutes and set your hips directly over your knees. Both legs should be together and creating a 90 degree angle.

12 Min EMOM
(Every Min on the Min for 12 Min):
Move continuously for 40 seconds of each:
Min 1: 40 Seconds Alternating Jumping Lunges
Min 2: 40 Seconds Hollow Pulses
Min 3: 40 Seconds Overhead Dumbbell Alternating Shoulder Extensions (Moderate weight)

Put weight used as your score.

Subs and modifications:
Small jump
Tucked hollow pulses
Use light weight

Alternating Jumping Lunges
1. Begin in a split stance, with your dominant foot forward. Both of your knees should have a soft bend.
2. Using your arms to generate power, jump off the ground, and switch your feet before landing (you should land in the same lunge position, with your opposite foot forward).
3. You want to think about being as explosive off the ground as possible, being quick and powerful.

Hollow Pulses:

1. Begin in a hollow hold with your arms by your sides, focusing on pulling the belly button in, to press the lower back to the floor.
2. To pulse, engage the core and simultaneously lift the shoulders and toes a few inches higher.
3. Return to your starting hollow position.
4. Repeat pulses without letting your shoulders or heels hit the ground.

Overhead Alternating Dumbbell Shoulder Extensions:

1. Hold one dumbbell per hand.
2. With your feet underneath your hips, lift the dumbbells overhead, holding them shoulder width apart. Your palms should be facing in, with the weights parallel to each other.
3. Extend your right shoulder first, by pushing it up into your ear, as much as possible. You want to feel contact between the shoulder and ear.
4. Relax the right shoulder and allow it to drop back to your neutral starting position.
5. Next, extend your left shoulder, pushing it up into your ear, as much as possible. You want to feel contact between the shoulder and ear.
6. Relax the left shoulder and allow it to drop back to your neutral starting position.
7. Continue alternating back and forth between both sides.

3 Rounds for Quality:
2 Min: Handstand Walk Practice
5 Straddle Toe Press

No Score

Subs and modifications:
Box handstand shoulder taps / Kick-up to handstand hold
Only lift heels off the ground / Only lift one foot off the ground at a time.

Handstand Walk:
1. Kick-up to a handstand hold, making sure to keep a tight, stacked body position: Your body should be in one line, with your ankles over your hips, hips over your shoulders, and shoulders over your wrists.
2. Allow your body to tip over, producing the forward momentum needed to start walking your hands.
3. Make sure to keep your hips and glutes set over your finger tips for the walk (this will make sure you continue moving forward, rather than falling backwards).
4. To step, plant each hand and extend through the shoulder, getting as tall as possible. It’s this shoulder extension that will naturally shift your bodyweight from side to side, making your handstand walk much easier.

Straddle Toe Press:

1. Begin standing with your feet set outside your hips, toes pointed outward to 45 degrees.
2. Hinging at the hips, drop your chest down, towards your legs. Set your hands on the ground. Pull your chest between your legs as much as possible. Hamstring mobility will be the limiting factor here.
3. Spread your fingers and grip the floor to help with stability as you begin to press. “Pushing the floor away” will extend the shoulders, giving you a strong base in which to press. If your shoulders are relaxed, you will feel yourself collapsing when trying to shift forward. Extend strong!
4. To shift forward, lift both heels off the ground, and come forward onto your toes. Your shoulders will track over the front of your finger tips. Continue “pushing the floor away” to keep the shoulders engaged and your base strong.
5. As you shift forward farther (your shoulders should be completely in front of your finger tips), you will continue lifting the heels, until the toes peel off the ground, and your full bodyweight is shifted into your hands.
6. Hold your legs off the floor as long as possible, before carefully lowering them back to the ground, landing back in your starting position.
7. *Note: The closer you can walk your feet to your hands, the easier it will be to shift your weight forward. Try to start the press with your feet right outside the hands.

 
BUTTS & GUTS | WEEK 28
 

Part 1
4 Rounds

1 1/2 Split Squat Right - 8 Reps
1 1/2 Split Squat Left - 8 Reps
Single Leg Glute Bridge Right - 12 Reps
Single Leg Glute Bridge Left - 12 Reps
Alternating Right to Left then Left to Right Half V-UP- 16 Reps (8 per side)

Use Dumbbells or a bar for Split Squat and post that weight for your score.For the 1 1/2 Rep split squats the back leg will be elevated. You don't want it any higher than like a bench or a 20" box. You may go lower than that too, just a stack of plates is fine.

You will go all of the way down (butt lower than the knee) stand halfway up, then go all of the way down and stand all of the way up. That is 1 rep.

Make sure you have your front foot out far enough that you can drive off of that front heel and the weight isn't forced into the toe. These may be weighted with dumbbells, a barbell or may even be done with no weight.

For the single leg hip ups, lie in like a sit up position on the ground. Raise one leg straight and off of the ground. Squeeze the cheeks to get hips as high as you can. Come all of the way back down.

For these v-ups it will be right hand to left toe, then left hand to right toe. Alternate with each rep. You will do 8 per side per set.

Part 2
3 Rounds
30 Second Hollow Hold Right Knee Bent - Hands at Sides
Rest 1 Min
30 Second Hollow Hold Left Knee Bent - Hands at Sides
Rest 1 Min
30 Second Hollow Hold Arms Extended

Ouch. Cut down the holds to 20 seconds if you need to.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

SPLIT SQUATS -

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, lower the height for the back leg.
If you’re having a hard time with the balance, (especially good for preggo mamas who have a challenge with changing center of gravity!) feel free to keep both feet on the ground for a regular lunge or a split stance Romanian Deadlift. You could also try a glute bridge/hip thrust (single leg option is good too!).


SINGLE LEG GLUTE BRIDGE -
LOVE this movement for mamas! However, if you're pregnant and uncomfortable lying on your back you can adjust to a hip thruster, good morning, single leg RDL, or even a DB Step Up.


ALTERNATING HALF V-UP/HOLLOW BODY VARIATIONS -
For mamas trying to manage or heal any diastasis or pelvic floor dysfunction these movements can be very difficult to perform effectively. Feel free to sub any of the movements from the Core Functional Progressions (found in the Warm Ups section), or get creative and try the Overhead Plate or Farmer Carry Hold, Palloff Press, BIRTHFIT Dumbbell Windmill, or the BIRTHFIT Banded Woodchop.

NOTES:

Nice little grinder for you today! Shoot for around 5 minute rounds so choose your loads and running distance accordingly.

For the 400m run, you're working with 2-3 minutes. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 2 min doubles/singles/low step ups/Mtn Climbers/taps to a low target.

For the air squats - you will have the feet shoulder width apart. Reach the butt back and down, keep the heels down, drive the knees out and keep the chest up. Get the butt below the knees at the bottom and stand all of the way up at the top of each rep.

For the power cleans you'll likely be breaking up the reps to 2-3 sets. Think 10-9 or 7-6-6. You'll get your 20th clean when setting up for the push presses.

The bar will start on the ground. Hands will be outside of the legs. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, bar 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. Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to get the bar on the shoulder with the elbows high. As you shoot the elbows around you will pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Stand fully to complete the movement.

For the push press, try to keep it from turning into a jerk!

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

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

NOTES:

Nice little grinder for you today! Shoot for around 5 minute rounds so choose your loads and bike/row targets accordingly.

For the 400m run, you're working with 2-3 minutes. Decrease distance as needed to fit that time frame. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 2 min doubles/singles/low step ups/Mtn Climbers/taps to a low target.

For the air squats - you will have the feet shoulder width apart. Reach the butt back and down, keep the heels down, drive the knees out and keep the chest up. Get the butt below the knees at the bottom and stand all of the way up at the top of each rep.

For the power cleans you'll likely be breaking up the reps to 2-3 sets. Think 10-9 or 7-6-6. You'll get your 20th clean when setting up for the push presses.

The dumbbells will start on the ground just outside of the feet. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, 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. Pull the DBs up the body with the elbows high and back to keep the DBs close. Shoot the elbows around and forward FAST to get the dumbbells on the shoulders with the elbows high. As you shoot the elbows around you will pull yourself under into a partial front squat. Stand fully to complete the movement.

For the push press, try not to default to a push jerk, avoid that redip!

You will have a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart. Dumbbells are at the shoulders. 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 dumbbells off of the shoulders and finish with a press straight to lock out. Biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

SHIFT WORKOUT

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)
10 Step Ups
10 Half V-Ups! (Single Arm to Single Leg Alternating)

No weight needed today! UNLESS you want to add some light dumbbells to your step ups!

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

NOTES:

For this workout we want to challenge you to step on something that is uncomfortable but SAFE for you to step up AND down! Make sure you can get your WHOLE FOOT on the step and that you drive out of your heel when pressing up. Do not allow the working knee to cave in. Alternate feet with each step. So for each set of 10 you end up doing 5 per leg.

For the HALF V-UP you will lay flat on your back. You will bring your right hand up and your left foot up and touch them together. Then bring them both back down. Switch to left hand and right foot on the next rep. Each time you bring a hand and foot together counts as one rep. You will end up doing 5 per side per round.

You may also swap to just 6 regular sit ups, dead bugs, or slam balls!

Goal: Under 14 Min

NOTES:

So for this one you can choose which ab option works best for you. And of course, if neither are realistic right now go with one of the suggested mods. Choose a variation and load to allow for around 2 minute rounds.

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. Push your shoulders back behind the bar as you raise your toes up to touch bar between your hands.
For subs for the T2B you can use Knee-Ups, V-ups, regular sit-ups or go with the shoot through option.

For the shoot throughs you will need something like 2 chairs, to sides of your counter top, 2 coolers, 2 boxes, 2 stacks of plates - basically 2 objects you can support your bodyweight between that are the same height. Try around 20" to start and go up or down depending on how you are feeling.

You will start with your hands on the objects in the top of a push up position. To "shoot through" you will keep your arms locked out and lift the knees to the chest. Swing your body forward and then kick the legs straight out in front of you. Raise the hips so that the body is in a straight line - then go back by raising the knees again and (keeping the arms locked) shooting BACK through to the top of the push up position again.

If you are unable to do this - even at a higher target - you can sub v-ups or even regular crunches!

For the step up and overs you can hold the dumbbells at your waist or on your shoulders. Make sure you step up with your foot completely on the box. Drive out of the heel for each rep and avoid the knee caving in. You may step off of the front if you are comfortable or turn around on top of the box and step off that way.

NOTES:

So for this one you can choose which ab option works best for you. And of course, if neither are realistic right now go with one of the suggested mods. With the front rack step ups, your core is going to get really taxed so be mindful of how much weight you use. Choose an ab variation and load to allow for around 2 minute rounds.

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. Push your shoulders back behind the bar as you raise your toes up to touch bar between your hands.
For subs for the T2B you can use Knee-Ups, V-ups, regular sit-ups or go with the shoot through option.

For the shoot throughs you will need something like 2 chairs, boxes, stacks of plates etc - basically 2 objects you can support your bodyweight between that are the same height. Try around 20" to start and go up or down depending on how you are feeling.

Start with your hands on the objects in the top of a push up position. To "shoot through" you will keep your arms locked out and lift the knees to the chest. Swing your body forward and then kick the legs straight out in front of you. Raise the hips so that the body is in a straight line - then go back by raising the knees again and (keeping the arms locked) shooting BACK through to the top of the push up position again.

If you are unable to do this - see T2B subs

For the barbell front rack step ups you will have the bar on the front of the shoulders with the belly tight and elbows up.

When you step onto the box place your whole foot onto the box. If you don't have a box you may do this on a bench or something similar. You could even do this on something like a chair (a sturdy chair). Make sure you choose a weight and a height that you are comfortable stepping up AND down.

Feel free to lower the height of the step up to something challenging but manageable for you!

With the front rack step ups, your core is going to get really taxed so be mindful of how much weight you use. Choose an ab variation and load to allow for around 2 minute rounds.

Supine leg raises, start on your back with holding the bag over your chest with arms straight. Raise both legs up to touch the bag, then lower them back to the floor.

For the shoot throughs you will need something like 2 chairs, boxes, stacks of plates etc - basically 2 objects you can support your bodyweight between that are the same height. Try around 20" to start and go up or down depending on how you are feeling.

Start with your hands on the objects in the top of a push up position. To "shoot through" you will keep your arms locked out and lift the knees to the chest. Swing your body forward and then kick the legs straight out in front of you. Raise the hips so that the body is in a straight line - then go back by raising the knees again and (keeping the arms locked) shooting BACK through to the top of the push up position again.

If you are unable to do this - see leg raise subs

For the sandbag step overs, first clean the bag to your right shoulder. Make sure you are stable and the bag is secure on your shoulder. Plant your left hand on the box. Step your right foot on to the box. Keep your belly tight as you pick up your left foot and step it through to the other side of the box. Step your right foot to the floor, turn and repeat from the other side.

For the Step UP AND over, facing the box with the bag on your shoulder you will step up with one leg, with the whole foot on the box and drive through you heel! Plant both feet on the box, stand up all the way and step down off the other side.

Score: Don't worry too much about it - but basically if you make all 8 rounds in the time window your score will be 8. If you skip any rounds or don't make all of the reps on any round you will subtract 1.
Goal: All 8 Rounds - but question your choices by about round 3-4.

NOTES:

Even though this is a longer workout, think of it as 8 really short, high intensity intervals. First few rounds should take 3 minutes or less. If that's not happening in the first round, consider making some of the suggested modifications.

For the run, it should be roughly :30 seconds so shorten the distance if needed or just run for 15 seconds then turn around and come back!

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 30 seconds of doubles/singles/low step ups/Mtn Climbers/taps to a low target.

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

If not comfortable going all the way overhead, you may modify to only swing the bell up to eye level then back down.

For the burpees you will 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!

NOTES:

Super simple one that you should definitely save when you are stuck in a hotel room or when you have to do something while your kid is in the bath.

For the jump or skip over you will face whatever object you have chosen to jump over. This could be anything from a chalk line on the ground to a kettlebell or laundry basket. Jump over or skip over - whatever your comfort is for this movement. Turn around and jump on back!

If you are unable to jump at this time you may sub a step up!

For the air squats the feet are under the shoulders with the heels down. Lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down with the heels down and drive the knees out. Keep the chest lifted and the belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with the heels down and knees out. Don't allow yourself to plop or collapse at the bottom. Keep fighting to keep the chest up!

If you are unable to keep a good position - or experience pain going that low - you may choose to squat to a target that is a bit higher. You may also try using a counter balance like the back of a chair or a squat rack.

For the plank + shoulder taps you will start in the top of the push up position. Make sure the shoulders, hips and heels are in line. Belly tight! No sagging! Bring the right hand up to touch the left shoulder - then the left hand up to touch the right shoulder. That is one rep.

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + Any Additional Reps
Goal: 5 Rounds +

NOTES:

The goal is 5 rounds so think each round should be 3 minutes or less. Choose a box height and dumbbell load to make this possible. And, after a couple rounds of thrusters you'll need to jump higher than you think you need to on the box!

For the box jumps you will choose a box that is roughly 22-24" for men and 18-20" for women if you can! If that height is too much for you - go lower! Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all of the way up on your box/bench.

You may also sub step ups. Or, if you don't have something to jump ON - find something to jump OVER!

We would love to see you actually jump if possible, even if you are jumping on a few stacked bumper plates or over your laundry basket!

For the thrusters the DBs will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the DBs on the shoulders and elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the DBs off of the body. Press the DBs straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead - biceps by the ears.

Each rep of the renegade row will be row right arm + row left arm.

Start in a plank position with straight arms, shoulders over wrists, hands on your dumbbells.

For the rows you will stay in the plank/top of the push up. You will row one dumbbell to the rib cage by pulling the elbow back. Try to avoid rotating very much. Pull the dumbbell all of the way up for each rep then lower under control.

Move the face out of the way and press the bar straight up. Keep belly tight and finish locked out overhead.

Remember, NO PUSH UP on the renegade row today!

It's just 1 rep = row right + row left.

Start in a plank position, arms straight, shoulders over wrists with both hands on your dumbbells.

For the rows you will stay in the plank/top of the push up. You will row one dumbbell to the rib cage by pulling the elbow back. Try to avoid rotating very much. Pull the dumbbell all of the way up for each rep then lower under control.

SHIFT WORKOUT

For Time

This one is a little tricky so make sure you read the WHOLE workout first!

Part 1
6 Rounds
8 Ring Rows or Bent Over Rows (8 Per side)
8 Overhead Press Right
8 Overhead Press Left

After completing 6 Rounds:
Rest 3 Minutes

Then

Part 2
6 Rounds
8 Push Ups
8 Alternating Hang DB Snatch

Idea weight for Men: 20-30# DB/KB
Idea weight for Women: 8-20# DB/KB

Score: Total Time INCLUDING the 3 Min rest window. Just run the clock the whole time.
Goal: Under 18 Min

NOTES:

More parts and movements than we usually see in SHIFT, but it's fun to have a 2 part workout and wanted you guys to play along!

For the first part you will do either a ring row/trx row/ band pull down or bar in rack row. OR you can do a bent over row with a single DB/KB.

If you are doing the ring row type movement make sure to remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground the harder they are. Make it challenging, but not to where you are breaking each set more than once. Start with straight arms and keep the body tight as you pull all of the way up.

If doing the bent over row you will lean against a chair, bench, or even the wall. Keep belly tight and chest lifted. Let the dumbbell hang in the working arm. Pull the shoulder and then the elbow back until the weight is at the side of the ribs. Lower under control. 8 on one side then 8 on the other.

For the press you will do one side at a time. Do all 8 reps on the right side then all 8 reps on the left! Keep the belly tight and finish with the bicep by the ear at the top.

For part 2 you will start with push ups. You can do these from your toes, knees, or even elevated. The goal here is to avoid any worming or snaking. Keep the belly tight and torso rigid. Make sure the elbows go BACK and not flare out. Come all of the way down to touch the chest at the bottom and press all of the way out at the top.

For the hang alternating DB snatch you will start at the waist with the weight in one hand. Dip slightly keeping belly tight and chest up. Stand up hard and fast and in one fluid motion guide the weight to lock out over your head with the bicep by the ear. Switch hands at the waist after each rep. So for each set you end up doing 4 per hand.

Then you do that whole thing two more times!

It's a lot of reps and you want to keep moving so make sure you choose load and movement variations that allow for minimal breaks, like maybe 2 sets.

For the pull ups you may do strict (lower the reps to complete in 2 sets), Kipping/butterfly, jumping, ring/trx row.
You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row. You may do banded pull ups but keep it controlled, don't use the bounce!

Whatever you choose make sure that you start all of the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all of the way up at the top!

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

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

Keep your body super tight on the push ups. Modify to knees or elevated if you need to.

For the hang power snatch you will start with a wide grip and deadlift the bar up to the waist. Feet under the hips, heels down. Arms straight. Dip by bending the knees slightly and hinging at the hip slightly (keep the back flat and chest lifted). Keep the bar close to the body and let it slide down the leg. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders (keep the bar close)! Pull the elbows high and outside as you pull under the bar slightly. Catch the bar in a partial overhead squat. Stand fully to complete the rep. Lower the bar back to the waist.

Whatever you choose make sure that you start all of the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all of the way up at the top!

The push press starts with a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Feet 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 dumbbells off of the shoulders and finish with a press straight to lock out. Biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

For the push up keep everything tight. No sagging hips or snaking.
Keep your elbows close to the body as you lower your chest and thighs to the floor. Stay engaged. Press back up to the the top until arms are totally straight.

Feel free to go from the knees or elevate the hands.

The DB power snatch starts with it on the ground between your feet with heels down. Think chest up, arm straight, hips back. Drive heels down, stand up fast. Keep the DB close to your body, elbow high and outside, then punch your arm to the sky. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So for each set of 16 you end up doing 8 per side.

You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row. You may do banded pull ups but keep it controlled, don't use the bounce!

Whatever you choose make sure that you start all of the way at the bottom and either get the chin over or pull the chest all of the way up at the top!

For the side to side push press, start with the bag on one shoulder. Dip your hip and keep your chest up.

Stand up hard and fast. Pop the sandbag off of the shoulder over your head and onto the other shoulder. You may bend your knees slightly to absorb the impact of the bag. Stand up to complete the rep.

Keep you body super tight on the push ups. Feel free to modify to the knees or elevated if you need to.

For the sandbag over the shoulder - technique will vary slightly depending on what type of bag you have. BUT - in general you want the bag between your feet. Feet are roughly shoulder width apart with the heels down. Hinge at the hip and bend the knees enough to try and get at least your hands and part of your forearms under the bag. Lift your chest and tighten your belly. Drive through your heels as you lift the bag. Pull it in close to your body. Stand up hard and fast and roll the bag over your torso - finishing over the shoulder. USE THE POWER FROM YOUR LEGS!!!

12 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Min)
10 Hang Power Clean and Press
10 Alternating Reverse Lunges

Idea weight for Men: Single 30-55# KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells
Idea weight for Women: Single 12-35# KB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells

Score: Total number of completed rounds + any additional reps
Goal: 8 Rounds +

NOTES:

For this workout you can use either a single KB or a pair of lighter dumbbells for the hang power clean and press. Don't let the long name intimidate you. Basically the weight will start at the waist. You will dip slightly by reach the butt back a bit and bending the knees. Keep the weight close to your body, your arms long, and your heels down. Keep the belly tight and chest lifted. Stand up hard and fast - almost like a jump. Shrug and then just guide the dumbbells to your shoulders. That little jump or pop of the hip should help make the weight feel much lighter and do most of the work. From here you will just press the weight over your head. Press all of the way up until the biceps are by the ears at the top with the belly tight.

For the lunges we want you guys to at least TRY a reverse lunge. If you don't like it - you can switch back, We like a reverse lunge because the working foot stays planted. Don't allow the front knee to cave in. And take a long enough step (regardless of what kind of lunge you are doing) so that your front heel stays down when your back knee touches the ground GENTLY!

You will alternate feet with each lunge so you end up doing 5 per leg - per round. If lunges aren't a possibility for you - you may sub step ups, single leg toe touches (like a single leg deadlift with no weight), or even squats!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 10-15 min or less!

NOTES:

Choose a weight that you think you could maybe do the lunges unbroken.

The clean and jerk will start from the "hang" which means you will deadlift it up and then hinge forward in a small dip to start each rep.

The hands should be just outside of the legs and shoulders. Feet should be about hip width apart with the heels down. You will pick the bar up to a full standing position. From here (keeping the heels down and arms straight) you will dip the chest forward from the hips and bend the knees slightly. Allow the bar to travel down the leg but pull it into the body and keep the arms straight! Stand (almost jump) hard and fast with the bar focusing on finishing UP with the hips and knees extending! Pass the power from the legs off into a SHRUG and THEN as you pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close to your body - you will pull yourself down under it. Punch those elbows around FAST so that the bar lands on the shoulders with the elbows in front!

You should have landed in a slightly dipped position with the bar on the shoulder and the heels down. (Make sure those knees aren't caving in too!). From that dip position you can go right into the "jerk" or push press portion of this movement! Once again think about standing up hard and fast and using the power from the legs to make the bar weightless. Finish by either pressing the bar to lockout (a push press) overhead OR by popping it off of the shoulder and pressing yourself DOWN under it slightly (push jerk - landing in a partial squat). Either way the movement ends with the bar locked out completely overhead. Belly tight. Standing tall.

You will lower to the "hang" for the next rep!

For the lunges you will place the bar on your back SAFELY (absorb with the knees).
For the lunges you may choose from forward stepping, reverse, or even walking lunges. You will alternate legs so for the set of 30 - it's 15 per. Drive off of the heel and don't allow the knees to cave.

SANDBAG | Week 27
 

WELCOME TO THE STREET PARKING SANDBAG WORKOUT!!!

This is our first official week of the Sandbag Accessory programming! We have had sandbag versions of the daily workouts for a while - but THIS is a sandbag specific workout with movementst that won't necessarily fit into the regular daily versions of the workout.

This workout is great for anyone who wants to learn more ways to implement their sandbag and gain strength from playing with this unstable load. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

Pro Tip: Most of these workouts are more "workout" than accessory. Probably skip the regular workout on the day you do it and if anything throw in one of the other accessory programs.

WARM UP

Full Body Simple Warm UP!

5-10 reps of quality movement through each

10 Toe Touches
10 Boot Strappers
10 Inch Worm + Down Dog
10 Spider Man + Reach

SQUAT WARM UP

HEEL SIT- 60 SECONDS
LUNGE HOLD- 30 SECONDS EACH LEG
SAMSON LUNGE- 30 SECOND HOLD (EACH SIDE)
PIGEON GLUTE STRETCH- 30 SECOND HOLD EACH SIDE
ASSISTED SQUAT HOLD- 60 SECONDS

WORKOUT

For Time

5 Rounds
10 Sandbag step overs (L)
5 Bear complex reps
10 Sandbag step overs (R)
5 Bear complex reps

RX Men: 50-60#
RX Women: 30-40#

Box Height Estimate: 20-24" Men/ 16-20" Women

1 Bear Complex Rep = Power Clean + Front Squat + Push Press + Back Squat + Push Press

For those of you with a heavier sandbag, if unable to adjust the weight, feel free to decrease the reps to 7 step overs/3 Bear complex meet the goal time.

Goal time: 20 Min

We are kicking this program off with a really good one for you guys!


NOTES:
We have a twist on the step over in this one so make sure you move carefully as you get more comfortable with the movement, breathe and keep your belly tight. WATCH THE DEMO video if you haven't seen it already!

For the sandbag step overs: First, clean the bag to your right shoulder. Make sure you are stable and the bag is secure on your shoulder. Plant your left hand on the box. Step your right foot on to the box. Keep your belly tight as you pick up your left foot and step it through to the other side of the box. Step your right foot to the floor, stand up all the way, turn and repeat from the other side.

Modify by lowering the weight or box height. Possible subs are Sandbag Step Ups, Sandbag Step Up Over or try it with a dumbbell in one hand.


The weight you choose should allow you to be CAPABLE of doing all reps of the Bear Complex unbroken. Doesn't mean you have to - just means you could if you wanted to.

For those complexes. You have a few options:

You can do it as written:

- Squat Clean
- Thruster
- Back Squat
- Back Rack Thruster

OR

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

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!

SOGO | Week 27
 

Part 1 - Back and Bis!
4 Rounds NOT FOR TIME
Max Set of Strict Pull Ups
As soon as you drop off
10 Barbell or Dumbbell Bent Over Rows

Rest as needed between sets

Score is total number of strict pull ups. (Do NOT go for a score with the scaled options!!!)If you choose the option to do this workout without a scale for the pull ups - you should be able to do a minimum of 5 Strict Pull Ups each time.

For these pull ups - they should be strict - with complete extension of the armpit and elbow at the bottom - chin over the bar at the top. They need to be strict - but that doesn't mean super slow or anything.

Scaling options are either 7 - 10 banded strict pull ups - or 7-10 jump up with a slow negative. Do not exceed those numbers at least for this first session. We want to control the soreness.

As soon as you either can no longer do the regular pull ups - or you complete your 7-10 reps of scaled - you will come over and do either barbell bent over rows or dumbbell bent over rows.

For the barbell you will load it up for men somewhere between 115-185# depending on strength and experience. Ladies between 75-125#. These should be difficult but nowhere near failure and no need to break.

You will keep the back flat and pull the bar to the chest - just below the nipple. Keep the gaze up slightly and belly tight. Pull the elbows back.

If you choose the dumbbell rows - you will not go as heavy - but will do 3 second slow negatives. Men between 50-70# DBs and Women between 30-50# DBs.

Part 2 - Chest and Tris
4 Rounds NOT FOR TIME

Max Dumbbell or Barbell Bench
straight into
Max Set Regular Push Ups

Rest as needed between sets

Score is total number from both movements.

RX Men: 115# Bench
RX Women: 65# Bench

RX + Men: 135#+
RX + Women: 85# +If you can not complete at least 8-10 bench reps with those weights (for the first round at least) then scale it down a bit. We also don't want you getting more than 15 per round or so either.

Same for the push ups. If you can't get at least 8-10 - go to the knees.

This is not a "girl" push up - it is a scale push up that will lower the amount of your body weight you are pushing up and allow you to do more reps! That is the POINT of this session.

For the bench reps the hands should not be too wide. Just outside the shoulders. Keep the butt on the bench and pull the shoulder blades back and down as you unrack the bar. Do NOT go to failure - especially if you do not have a spot! Be smart. Come all of the way down and lock out completely for each rep!

Once you can no longer complete any of those you will move on to the push ups.

No rest between movements.

Rest as needed between rounds.

For both - NO sagging or snaking!

Good Luck!

 
POWER | Week 27
 
 

Warm-up

Throw in the bodyweight warm up before this one and to get the back side nice and toasty try the kettlebell warm up.

Sumo Deadlift (6 x 5 (Building))

If these are new for you the main focus points will be - heels down, knees out, belly tight, bar close!

The sumo deadlift is a great movement that takes a little of the loading off of the lower back and really recruits the power of the hips/glutes! This movement is great for building strength in a different stance/position.

For this movement the bar will start on the ground. The feet are slightly wider than squat stance. The hands are inside the legs. Use a narrow grip but there should be 6-12 inches between the hands.

The knees will be bent slightly, chest up, arms straight, heels down, knees OUT (that's a big one), bar close to the body. You will pull the bar from the ground by focusing on driving the heels into the ground, reaching the chest up, driving the knees out, and pulling the bar into the body.

The rep is finished when you are standing completely at the top.

For Distance

7 Min

Max Distance Bear Hold Walk

Grab an Odd Object - Bear Hug it and walk as far as possible in 7 min.

Put what object you chose and weight of object in comments.

Options for hug hold are:
Sandbag
D-Ball
Plate
and if you have none of those you may do front rack carry with bar or dumbbells!

 
OLY | Week 27
 

Push Press (4 x 5)

4 Sets of 5 - Start difficult and add weight if you feel you can. Rest as needed between sets.

You will dip by keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward, keeping the chest up and allowing the torso to move straight down. Bar stays over the middle of the foot. Butt goes down - avoid the chest dipping forward.

Stand hard and fast out of the dip. Move the face back. Keep the belly tight as you press the bar overhead. For the push press there is no re-bend of the knees. Rep finishes with the bar locked out over the middle of the body, ribs down.

When lowering the bar absorb with your knees!

Push Jerk (4 x 1)

Pick between the push jerk or split jerk. Don't do both.

Add weight each time if you are successful.

Rest as needed between sets.

The focus here is to do the same dip and drive as the push press - but this time instead of pushing the bar up, you push YOURSELF down.

Feet will move out as you press down either into your squat stance.

Split Jerk (4 x 1)

Pick between the push jerk or split jerk. Don't do both.

Add weight each time if you are successful.

Rest as needed between sets.

The focus here is to do the same dip and drive as the push press - but this time instead of pushing the bar up, you push YOURSELF down.

Feet will move out as you press down either into your split stance.

Then:

Accumulate 3 Min in a Double Dumbbell Overhead Hold

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

You can sub barbell if you don't have dumbbells or kbs

Score - Total time it takes you to accrue 3 min in the hold.For this you will hold a dumbbell in each hand, locked out overhead. Elbows locked, biceps by the ears - and the big one - BELLY TIGHT.

Do not overextend the belly! Squeeze the cheeks and pull the ribs down.

So if you hold for 30 seconds to start - you will rest as needed and then hold again. Maybe the second time you get 20 seconds. Now you have 50 seconds total.

Keep doing that until you have 3 min.

 
GYMNASTICS | Week 27
 
 

These workouts are great for those who are interested in gaining strength, body awareness, and body control in the gymnastics movements. These workouts were created by Street Parking Coach / former National Level Gymnast - Kati Breazeal. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

If you find the drills in this workout to be too advanced - don't worry they are a progression! We started this specific cycle 15 weeks ago and you can go all of the way back to the beginning and follow along from there if you like!

2 Rounds:
10 Banded Pass Throughs
30 Seconds Low Tuck to Standing Pike Extensions
1:00 Box Pigeon (Right + Left)

Banded Pass Through:
1. Begin standing with your feet together, quads squeezed, and glutes engaged. Round your hips under (think of yourself as a dog with its tail between its legs) to ‘turn on’ your core. Practicing this total body tension from your warm-up is going to transfer into higher level skills.
2. Grip your band (any thickness) in a wide set up for the first few reps. Usually near the ends.
3. Using straight arms, lift the band overhead and backwards, until it hits the back of your glutes.
4. Hold to maximize the stretch.
5. Return to your front starting position by repeating the same motion forward.
6. As you get comfortable, begin walking your hands in to a more narrow grip for increased difficulty.

Low Tuck to Standing Pike:
1. Begin in a low, tucked position on the ground: Feet together, glutes to heels, hands on the floor near your toes for support. Only your fingers and the balls of your feet will be in contact with the floor.
2. Press your heels to the ground to intensify the stretch through the achilles and calves.
3. Slowly, lift the glutes into the air, beginning to straighten out the legs.
4. Continue rising until you reach straight legs. The goal is to keep your hands on the floor for the entire set, but, if they need to come off in order to lock the knees out, that is fine.
5. Allow the chest to hang towards the floor as much as possible.
6. Hold at the top to maximize the stretch.
7. Return to your low tuck starting position.

Box Pigeon:
1. Begin standing in front of your box, toes face forward. The height of the box may vary— The taller the box, the more challenging the stretch.
2. Lift your right foot, and set it flat on top of the box.
3. Shift your right foot to the left, until it sits even with your left hip.
4. Allow your right knee to gently fall to the right, pressing towards the box.
5. Use your right hand to apply more pressure to the right knee, if a greater stretch is desired.
6. Make sure to keep the bottom (left) leg straight, and hips open. Your chest may fold forward, over the right leg, in order to increase the stretch.
7. Repeat on the opposite side.

EMOM 12 Min
Every Minute on the Minute - Move at a continuous pace for the entire minute:

Min 1: Rebounding Straight Jumps
Min 2: Hollow Leg Lifts with Dumbbell
Min 3: Candlestick Roll + Alternating Pistols
Score: Total number of candlestick roll + pistol or sub.

Quality over quantity guys!
Subs and Modifications:
Single jumps with pause between reps (no rebound)
No weight
Stand up with both feet (no pistol)

Rebounding Straight Jumps:
1. Begin standing with your feet together, arms bent to 90 degrees and close to your sides.
2. As you jump, make sure to only push from the balls of your feet. Do not let your heels touch the ground.
3. The goal is to be explosive off the floor, fully pointing your toes in the air, while keeping the entire body tight.
4. You want to spend as little time on the floor as possible— Be quick and bouncy.

Hollow Leg Lifts with Dumbbell:
1. Begin laying with your back on the floor, holding your dumbbell with two hands and straight arms.
2. Press your lower back into the floor to engage the core, and bring the dumbbell backwards towards your ears, behind your head as far as possible. The farther backwards you can hold it, the more challenging the drill will be.
3. Keeping the legs tight, lift them until your toes point straight towards the ceiling.
4. Keeping the lower back pressed into the ground, control your legs back towards the floor, but do not let your feet touch the floor at the bottom of the rep. The heels should only come to approximately 2-3 inches above the ground.
5. Lift the legs back up to vertical.

Candlestick Roll + Alternating Pistols:
1. Begin standing with both feet together, arms by your sides.
2. Sit back to the floor, getting your glutes close to your heels.
3. As you roll backwards, extend your arms overhead, pressing them into the floor behind you, and lift your toes to the ceiling. Legs are straight and glutes squeezed (make sure your hips are fully open).
4. Using the momentum from the roll forward, pull your right heel as close to your glute as possible, and shift your arms and chest forward over your right foot. Left leg should be extended straight out in front, off the floor.
5. Stand up on your right leg.
6. Once fully standing, you can set your left foot down, and move into the next candlestick roll.
7. Continue alternating sides used to stand up.

3 Rounds for Quality:
10 Headstand + Pike Extensions
10 Box Handstand + Forward Rocks
5 Cartwheels


Score: No Score

Subs and Modifications:
Headstand Hold / Tuck Extensions / Crow Pose
Box Handstand + Forward Rocks Progression
Cartwheel Progression Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced

Headstand + Pike Extensions:

1. Begin in a Headstand Hold.
2. Keeping the legs together and straight, carefully lower the toes to the floor until they make light contact.
3. As soon as the toes touch the floor, use your core to lift your straight legs back to your starting Headstand Hold.

Box Handstand + Forward Rocks:

1. Set up in your Box Handstand Hold.
2. Moving VERY slowly, press your toes into the box, allowing your shoulders to shift forward over your finger tips. Or, as far as possible.
3. Really use your fingers to grip the floor and keep you from falling forward.
4. Return to your starting handstand position by pushing your hands into the floor, shifting your bodyweight back towards the box.
5. Only shift forward as far as you feel comfortable, and work your way into it. Do not try to go too far on your first attempt.

Cartwheels:

1. Begin in the universal gymnastics starting position: Stand with your full weight on your non-dominant (“bad”) leg, with your dominant leg extended forward, quad squeezed with toes pointed and in contact with the ground. Set arms overhead, shoulder-width apart, and extend the shoulders into the ears (there should be no space between the two). Squeeze your glutes and round your hips under to engage the core and flatten out the lower back. You should be completely tight from head to toe in this position.
2. Carefully shift your weight forward, into your dominant leg. Your front knee will dramatically bend, as your bodyweight travels forward, over the front of the toes. You want a big bend in the front leg in order to better control your speed as you approach the floor.
3. Keeping your arms shoulder-width apart, continue reaching your hands towards the floor. Here, your body will act similarly to a teeter-totter. As your hands approach the floor, your back leg (non-dominant) will rise off the floor, preparing for the “kick” to generate the full rotation over your hands.
4. When your hands are within 1-2 inches of the floor, externally rotate your fingers to 45 degrees, and drive your back heel (non-dominant leg) vertical.
5. Your back leg will initiate the the full rotation of your body in the cartwheel. You need an explosive kick-up that generates enough power to help you fully rotate in the movement.
6. As your first hand (dominant hand) reaches the floor, your first foot (non-dominant foot) will drive over the top. As your second hand (non-dominant hand) reaches the floor, your second foot (dominant foot) will push off the floor, and drive over the top. At this point, your body should be in an upside down “X” position.
7. Maintaining this X-position, pull your first foot (non-dominant foot) to the floor, and lift your first hand (dominant hand) off the floor. When your second foot (dominant foot) reaches the floor, lift your second hand (non-dominant hand) off the floor.
8. Control your landing, and make sure you are fully balanced before moving on.
