WARM UP
Pull Up Warm Up
Shoulder Warm Up

WORKOUT

4 X MAX PIKE HANDSTAND PUSH UP
4 X 12 OVERHEAD TRICEP EXT
3 X 1 MIN HANDSTAND HOLD

For this - finish all 4 sets of one part before moving on to the other. Rest 2 min between sets and movements.

Weight used for tricep extensions should be something you can do all 12 in a row with each set.

Score: Total Pike Handstand Push Up Reps.  Note weight used in comments.

PIKE HANDSTAND PUSH UP
For the pike handstand push up the idea is to press in that vertical position with your body - but taking the weight of your legs out of the press.  This is no different than a banded pull up in that regard.  Make sure that you set up with your hands/head in a tripod position about a foot or so away from the box.  Knees can be straight or bent - that is more flexibility than anything else.  Make sure the hips are over top of the shoulders and head and you are looking back toward the box.

When you lower, make sure the head travels toward the fingertips and the elbows go toward the box.  Touch the ground with the TOP of your head (not your forehead).  Lower under control.  Press yourself up and drive your head through your arms at the top.

Do as many as you can with proper form and stop when form starts to break down.  Even if this is only a few reps each set - that is ok!

OVERHEAD TRICEP EXTENSION
You may perform these seated or standing.  You will hold a single dumbbell with both hands locked out overhead with the biceps by the ears.  Moving only at the elbow lower the dumbbell behind your head until the elbows are fully bent.  Then moving only at the elbow press to lock out.

HANDSTAND HOLD
The handstand holds are to be performed against the wall.  Make sure the hands are roughly 6-10" or so away from the wall and the only thing in contact with the wall during the hold are the heels.  The hands should be just wider than the shoulders.  Heels, knees, hips, shoulders and head should be in one straight line with the belly tight and butt squeezed.

If you are unable to hold for an entire minute - you may do this as accumulating.

4 SETS of 3 STRICT PULL UP
Between each set do a set of kipping 10-15- or 20 pull ups

**This is from the Level 3 Pull Up program which requires you to have at least 1 Strict Pull Up and the ability to do kipping pull ups before you start.  See description for options!!

Score: Number of Kipping Pull Ups you are able to do between sets of strict.  DO NOT DO MORE THAN 20 PER SET!So this session is more like a little mini workout. You will do 3 strict pull ups. These can be in a set of 3 or in 2-1 or even 1-1-1. Once you complete those 3 strict you will go immediately into 10 kipping pull ups (butterfly or gymnastics kip is fine). After you complete your kipping pull ups you will rest 2 min and then repeat the whole thing. Do 4 total sets.

If you are really pretty strong at pull up already - OR if you start to need a bigger challenge as you go through the 6 weeks of this you may choose to scale this up. You can go up to 15 kipping pull ups between sets, you may go up to 5 strict pull ups, or the ultimate goal is to be able to do 5 strict straight into 20 kipping without even coming off of the bar!

If you are unable to do strict pull ups today.  These may be 4 sets of 3 jump and slow lower or 4 sets of 3 banded strict pull ups.

If you are not yet ready to do unassisted kipping pull ups - you may do banded kipping pull ups, ring/supine bar in rack rows, or kip swings for this today!

 
SOGO | WEEK 07 | 02/09/2020
 

Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes (4 times through)
Minute 1: 7-10 Pull Ups
Minute 2: 16 Alternating Single Arm Floor Press
Minute 3: 7-10 Chin Ups
Minute 4: 10 Bench Press
Minute 5: 8-10 Mixed Grip Pull Ups
Minute 6: 15-20 Push Ups
Minute 7 & 8: Rest

Score: Weight Used for Floor Press and Bench Press (Use same dumbbells for both)

Note all modifications in comments.All movements are strict and unbroken, so modify accordingly.

Use bands or switch to trx, ring, or inverted barbell rows in order to stay strict and get 7-10 reps on the pull up if you need to.

On the alternating single arm floor press, lie on your back with a dumbbell in each hand.

Bend your elbows so forearms are vertical, upper arms about 45° from the torso.

Press your right arm straight up to extension, then lower and repeat with the left. 16 reps will be 8 per side.

Same mods on the chin ups, your palms will just be facing in rather than out.

To set up for the bench press, push your feet down into the floor. Draw your low back, shoulders and the back of your head down into the bench. Keep your elbows about 45 degrees from your torso, wrists straight. Press the dumbbells all the way back up until your arms are straight to complete the rep.

For the mixed grip pull ups, one hand will have a pull up grip and the other hand a chin up grip. Just use a traditional grip if doing ring rows or inverted rows.

Keep your body nice and tight on the push ups to avoid snaking or sagging. Touch your chest and thighs to the ground. Go to your knees if you need to.

 
OLY | WEEK 07 | 02/09/2020
 

WARM UP
Snatch Warm Up

WORKOUT

5 Sets
3 Muscle Snatch
2 Behind the Neck Press
1 Overhead Squat

No Score.  Just WARM UP!

The muscle snatch is all about the UP portion of the snatch!  It will start with a controlled pull off the floor, followed by a powerful jump, shrug - and then pulling the bar up the body and punching to lock out.  There is no pull under or re-bend of the knees on this movement.

The bar will start on the ground.  You will use a wide/overhead squat grip.  The feet are roughly hip - shoulder width apart with the weight in the heels.  The knees are bent but hips are higher than the knees.  Chest is over the bar.  Arms are straight.  Bar is close to the body. Back is flat.

Drive the heels into the ground as you start to lift the chest.  The bar comes off the ground - keep it close to the body!  Control this first pull.

Once the bar is past the knees you will pick up speed!  Scoop the hips underneath a bit but keep the heels down.  Think about finishing the up or JUMP with the arms still straight.  Jump UP not forward.

Shrug the shoulders, and then start to pull the bar with the elbows - reaching them high and outside like a scarecrow to keep the bar close to the body.

Once you have pulled the bar as high as possible with the elbows high - you will turn the bar over and punch into it as you punch your head through.  Lock out with the bar over the middle of your body.  Belly is tight.  Knees and hips are extended.

For the behind the neck press, keep the same grip as the muscle snatch. Bar is on your shoulders behind your head. Keep your belly tight as you press straight up until arms are straight.

Keep that overhead position after the last press and perform a squat. Hips will go back but keep your heels down and chest up. The bar should remain over your midfoot the entire time.

Snatch + 2 Overhead Squat (16 x 2 (TWO Reps Every Min on the Min for 16 Min))

Perform one full snatch.  (From the ground to a full squat + stand).  Then 2 additional Overhead Squats.The 3 Reps = 1 Snatch + 2 Overhead Squats.  Not 3 times through.

For the snatch, the bar will start on the ground.  Your feet will be under your hips and your hands will be wide.  Use that hook grip (thumb around bar - fingers around thumb).  Make sure the heels are down, the knees are forward and slightly out, knees are bent with the hips slightly higher than the knees, chest up, arms straight, back flat, bar close.

You will pull the bar from the ground by driving the heels down, and chest up while pulling the bar in close to the body.  Once past the knees you will pick up speed.  Scoop your hips under slightly to allow you to jump straight UP with the bar (not forward).  Keep the heels down and arms straight as LONG as possible.  Shrug the shoulders and pull the elbows high and outside as you pull yourself DOWN either into a full overhead squat or into a partial overhead squat.  Punch into the bar fast and hard to lock out.

In that catch position your feet will have moved out slightly.  Land with the heels down, belly tight, armpits facing forward with the shoulder blades pulled IN.  The bar should be over the middle of the body.

When you catch the bar overhead you should be in a full squat with your butt lower than the knees.

You have two options if you choose to go RX+. EITHER you can do deadlifts using heavier DBs OR you can do single leg deadlifts with the 40s or 25s.

For the deadlifts the DBs will start on the ground.  Feet are under the hips.  Heels are down.  Hips and knees are bent.  Hands and grip are outside of the legs.  Arms are straight.  Chest is up.  Belly tight.  Back flat!  To lift the DBs drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest.  Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top.

For these burpees, start standing next to your dumbbells (not facing), bend your knees, hinge forward at the hips and plant your hands on the floor. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position. Lower knees, hips, and chest all the way down to the floor then press back up. Jump or step your feet in - then jump over the dumbbells. The rep is complete when you land on the other side.

40 Alternating Step Ups (Unweighted)
20 Pull Ups
10 Turkish Get Ups (5 per side)
then
800 Meter Run

RX Men (for get ups): 35-55#
RX Women (for get ups): 20-35#

RX+ Men/Women: Take reps to 60 / 30 / 10 (only do this if you can do the pull ups in no more than 3-4 sets at that number)

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 25 Min

Not including the runs, each round should take 5-6 minutes. Check out the other programs for more options!

For the 800m run, you're working with 4-5 minutes.  Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window.

If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - do 2 min double/single unders or toe taps to a low target at the beginning of each round rather than the 800s at the beginning and end.

For the step ups, ideally the height is 18-20" for women and 22-24" for men. Pick a height that challenges you, but allows you to keep moving and that you feel comfortable stepping up AND down.

Alternate feet with each step (so a set of 40 will be 20 per side).  Put your whole foot on the step, keep your chest up, drive off of the heel and stand all of the way up!

For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping/butterfly or ring/trx row. Choose a version you can do all 20 in max 4 sets.

You may also do a row with the bar in the rack OR do a bent over row if none of those other options are available. You may do banded pull ups but control the descent and be sure to avoid the bounce out of the bottom.

Hitting every position in the Turkish get up is extremely important so take your time on these and go as light as you need to. Use a shoe if you need to!

Start on your back. Holding the weight in your right hand, extend your arm straight up in the air. Bend your right knee so your right foot is flat on the floor.

Bring your left arm out to the side about 45°. Keep your right arm vertical for the entire movement. Roll onto your left forearm, then up to your left hand. Sweep your left leg under and behind your right leg so some of your weight is on your left shin.

Raise your left hand off the floor and come up into a lunge position. Stand up all the way.

To complete the rep, retrace your steps back down until you are lying on your back.

For the shoot throughs you will need 2 objects you can support your bodyweight between that are the same height (chairs, boxes, parallettes, countertops). Try around 20" to start and go up or down depending on how you are feeling.

Start with your hands on the objects in a plank position.  To "shoot through" keep your arms straight and jump 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 your body is in a straight line - then, jump the knees into your chest and shoot BACK through to a plank.

Forward and back = 1 rep.

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

If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.

DB 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

PULL UPS - For managing the pressure of the core and pelvic floor during Early Pregnancy or later on in the Rebuilding stages of PP sub: strict pull ups or banded pull ups. To avoid any coning in the belly during 2nd/3rd Trimester or Rehab stage of PP, while hanging from the bar sub: Ring Rows, Bent Over Rows, Banded Lat Pull Downs, BIRTHFIT Banded Woodchop, Banded Lat Pull Downs, DB/KB Front Raises.

6 Rounds
1 Min Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
20 Alternating Unweighted Step Ups
10 Ring/TRX Rows, Banded Pull Downs, or Bent Over Rows
3 Half Turkish Get Ups Right
3 Half Turkish Get Ups Left

Suggested weight= Super Light for the Get Ups or Even No Weight at All.

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 20 Min

**MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE DEMO VIDEO FOR THE TURKISH GET UPS!!For the 1 minute you will choose from single unders (jump rope), low step ups, taps, a jog/run, bike, or row.

For the  step ups you will choose a height that will challenge you, but that you feel comfortable  stepping up and down.  If possible this should be at
12-20" for women and
16-24" for men.

Make sure to put your WHOLE foot on the step each time.  Don't allow the knee to cave in and drive out of the heel to stand completely.  Lower under control and switch feet.  Each set of 20 you will do  10 per leg

If you are doing the TRX/Ring/Bar in Rack option - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become.  Make sure you start with straight arms at the bottom - keep the body rigid and belly tight - and pull all of the way to your chest at the top.

Bent over rows will be 5 on each arm.

For the half Turkish get ups these are more of a strength/skill movement more  than anything.  Try and slow this movement down and focus on hitting the positions we list below.

You will lie on the floor with the weight in your right hand. Press it up to lockout (like the top of a bench press).  Your right knee will be bent with the foot on the floor.  Your left arm will be out to the side and straight.  KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE WEIGHT THROUGHOUT THE MOVEMENT.

Roll onto your left elbow pressing into the weight in your right hand.  Come onto your left hand.  PULL your left leg back and through to the knee behind you (keep pressing and looking at that weight!). Now you are in the bottom of a lunge.

On the way back down its reverse.    Place the left hand on the ground.  Sweep the left leg through to a sitting position.  Come down to the left elbow.  Roll back to a lying position. This is a challenging movements so feel free to ditch the weight and just focus on the positions.

If you are unable to come all the way up to the lunge position you can scale to just - elbow to hand like a half crunch.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

Lungesters - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do lighter weight, smaller step/less range of motion, or step up or forward instead of step back in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Option to sub: Thrusters, Weighted Step Ups, Weighted Lateral Step Ups, Lunge + Lunge + Air Squat, Goblet/DB Squat

JERK/PRESS - Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.

For the air squats you will have the feet shoulder width apart with the heels down.  Lift the chest and tighten the belly.  Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out.  Ideally you will get your butt lower than your knees at the bottom with the chest up and belly still tight!  Drive through the heels and drive the knees out to stand completely.

If you tend to really collapse in the bottom position-  try slowing down just a bit.  You may also try holding on to something like a pole or doorway to help you lift your chest and stay back in your heels.

If you have pain or issue in the bottom from current or past injury or issue - you may choose to squat to a slightly higher target.

For the shoulder press you can use a KB, a single dumb bell, or two. Focus on keeping the rib cage down, bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time and get them completely locked out overhead with the biceps in the ears!

For the unweighted Lungesters  you may perform the lunges portion as reverse stepping or forward stepping.  Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground.  Don't allow the forward knee to cave in.  Keep the belly tight and chest up.  You will perform a lunge on each side.

The goal here is to complete each round in 1:20-1:30 at the most. Choose a load you can go unbroken!

100 Meter run should basically be a sprint. If you can't run for any reason, try 30 seconds of burpees, mountain climbers, or jumping lunges!

DB power clean starts with the DBs on the ground outside the feet, which are hip width apart. Bend your knees and keep your heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips, arms straight. Keep your belly tight and your back flat.

Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high as you pull yourself down. Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulder with the elbows high. Catch in just a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand to complete the rep and then lower the weight back to the ground for the next rep.

For front squats, dumbbells are resting on the shoulders with elbows high!  Keep the chest up, AND belly tight!

Reach the butt back and lower until your butt is below your knees. Keep the chest and elbows high. Drive your knees out and keep the heels down throughout.  Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - stand fully for each rep.

For Push Jerks, the DBs will start on the shoulders with the elbows in front.  Your feet are under your hips and your heels are down.  Stand tall, belly tight.

Dip keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back.  Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward.  From here you will stand up hard and fast.  Drive the power from the legs into the DBs.  Think of pressing the weight up as you press YOURSELF DOWN under it.  Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).

The goal here is to complete each round in 1:20-1:30 at the most. Adjust the distance/cal so the bike/row is 30 seconds or less. Choose a load you can go unbroken!

For the Power Clean, start with feet hip width apart, bar 1" from the shins, gripping the bar outside your legs.

Hips are back, knees bent, chest up, belly tight with back flat.

Push your heels down as you stand. Arms stay straight. Once the bar clears the knees, lift your chest and extend your knees and hips fast. Imagine you are jumping. Rotate your elbows around the bar to receive it on your shoulders in a partial squat. Stand up all the way.

For front squats, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high. Keep the chest up and belly tight!

Reach the butt back and lower down below the knee. Keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.

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

The bar will start up high on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may clean the bar from the ground or take it from the rack.  Your feet are under your hips and your heels are down.  Stand tall, belly tight.

Dip with heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back.  Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward.  From here you will stand up hard and fast.  Drive the power from the legs into the bar.  Move your face out of the way and think of pressing the bar up as you press YOURSELF DOWN  under it.  Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).

Land with your weight in your heels, knees bent and out, butt back, and bar locked out over the middle of your body.  Press into the bar and keep the belly tight.  Stand completely.

Bend your knees as you lower the bar.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

KB/DB Deadlift - If pregnant and the shape of your belly is creating a change in the efficiency and safety of the bar path or postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift. If you are working on healing any pelvic floor dysfunction make sure you are able to breathe properly throughout the entire range of motion and that you are not bracing or bearing down.

POWER/SQUAT CLEANS - You could less weight or starting from the hang. For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training incorrect movement patterns.

JERK/PRESS - Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

10 Rounds
30 Seconds Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, or Low Step Ups
5 KB/DB Deadlifts
4 Goblet Squats
3 Shoulder Press

Idea weight for Men: Single 35-55# KB/DB - or - Pair of lighter DBs.
Idea weight for Women: Single 12-24# KB/DB -or- Pair of lighter DBs

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 14 Min

For this workout you will complete 10 rounds of the 30 seconds of moving, followed by 5 deadlifts, 4 goblet squats, and 3 shoulder press.

For the first part you will choose from single unders (jump rope), low step ups, taps, a jog/run, bike, or row.

For the deadlifts you will either have a single KB/DB between the feet or a pair of lighter dumbbells on the outsides of the feet.  Make sure the knees are bent, chest is up, arms are straight, and heels are down in the set up.  Lift the chest and squeeze the butt to stand!  Lower by reaching butt back and bending the knees while you keep the belly tight and chest up!

For the Goblet Squat you will hold the weight at the chest/shoulders.  Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down.  Lift the chest and tighten the belly.  Reach the butt back and down.  Keep the heels down as you drive the knees out.  Ideally you will get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with heels down, knees out, and chest up!  Drive through the heels to stand!

If you need to - you can do these with no weight in order to get all of the way down and keep good position.  Or if injury/issue prevents this you may squat to a slightly higher target!

For the shoulder press keep the rib cage down, bring the dumbbells or KB all the way down to the shoulders each time and get the object completely locked out overhead with the biceps in the ears! Try to not lean back as you press up!

These two sections are a bit grueling so pick a pace and a load that you can just keep moving.

The carry should take you about 4 minutes and you should be able to complete at least 5 devil presses a minute.

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands.  You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in.  Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!).  Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears!  Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

For the Farmer Carries, you will hold a dumbbell in each hand.  Keep your chest up, shoulders back and belly tight.  Take rest rather than allowing yourself to fall into a bad position.

For 400m, it should take about 4 minutes.   If it's much slower or you are breaking a lot, go to a single dumbbell and switch hands at the halfway point.

If unable to carry due to weather, try 4 min of a low step up holding your dumbbells (putting down when needed).

The 400m carry should take you about 4 minutes (2 min for the 200m) and you should be able to complete at least 5 devil presses a minute.

Remember you and your partner are both working at the same time just on opposite movements.

A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands.  You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in.  Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!).  Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

DEVIL PRESS - If you feel a lot of pressure in your belly or pelvic floor in the plank position or hopping forward/back, you can step back/forward to a table top or low bear pose or skip the plank/push up. You can also use less weight. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, Thrusters, Wall Balls or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

BUTTS & GUTS | WEEK 06 | 02/02/2020
 
 

4 Rounds
10 x (2 Jumping Lunge + 1 Jumping Squat)
50 Mountain Climbers
Rest 1 min
20 Side to Side Lateral Step Ups
50 Russian Twists
Rest 1 min

Idea weight for Russian Twists:
Men: 25-35# DB/Plate/KB or Med Ball
Women: 15-20# DB/Plate/KB or Med Ball

Idea Box Height:
Men: 22-24"
Women: 18-20"

Your score will be the time it takes to complete but the idea here is not to sprint through this. Smooth, controlled movement is the way to go!

So to start you'll do 2 jumping lunges, one with your left foot forward and one with your right foot forward. Then do a jumping squat. All of that equals one. Do 10 like that.

Switch the jumping lunges and squats to reverse lunges and air squats if you need to.

For the jumping lunge, start with your feet hip width apart. Jump and land with one foot forward, the other foot back and lower with control until your back knees makes contact with the ground. Keep your belly tight, chest up and eyes forward.

Your feet should strike the floor at the same time. From this position, jump and switch your feet to do a jumping lunge on the other side.

Next, jump into a squat position with feet about shoulder width apart, chest up, back flat. Lower all the way into the bottom of a squat with butt below knees then jump enough to extend your ankles, knees, and hips all the way.

For the Mountain Climbers every time a knee comes up it counts as a rep.  So right knee = 1 rep.  Left knee = 1 rep. Keep a tight plank position with shoulders over wrists.

Each side step up counts as one rep so you will do 10 per side but alternating.  Go lower on the step up if necessary for you!

Make sure for each rep you drive off of the heel and don't allow your knee to come in.  Stand all of the way up on the box then side step down off the other side.

For the Russian twists you may use a dumbbell, plate, or med ball.  Each tap will equal 1 rep!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

JUMPING LUNGES - If you have any pubic symphysis pain or SPD focus on keeping your pelvis neutral and your hips level. You could always do a smaller step/less range of motion, or sub steppingstep up lunges. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or a squat jump.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS - Elevated Mountain Climbers with Wide Knees. Ball slams, Farmer carry march, Quick Step Ups, Standing cross body wallball throws, BIRTHFIT Bear Crawl, BIRTHFIT Functional Progression 3 (Use the BIRTHFIT Youtube library for demos of these movements!).

RUSSIAN TWISTS - Please note it is important to avoid deep twisting motion during pregnancy and in the immediate postpartum period. Consider subbing: Pallof Press, BIRTHFIT Functional Progression 2, BIRTHFIT Dumbbell Windmill, BIRTHFIT Banded Woodchop (see BIRTHFIT youtube channel for demos)

SANDBAG

3 ROUNDS OF
400 Meter Run
Into
3 Rounds
9 Side to Side Sandbag Thruster
6/4 Push up + lateral sandbag drag.

REST 1 Min Between Rounds

RX Men: 50-60# Sandbag
RX Women: 25-40# Sandbag

RX+ 4 Rounds

Score: Total Time including the Rest.
Goal: Under 30 min

Alright guys, Im not going to lie this one is rough.
For this one you want to make sure you chose the
appropriate weight for your bag so that you can
push to get the thruster unbroken. Try to keep the
rounds in the 5-6 min range.

For the run - the distance should take you 1:30- 2:15
given that you get a 1 min rest in between rounds.
If this is still hard for you to achieve - shorten the run a bit  to maybe 300m

If you are unable to run for space or weather reasons
you can sub Bike 30 (men)/20  (women) cal bike, Row 500 Meters
or even 2 min of Double unders, Single unders, low step ups, or taps.

For the sandbag thrusters  get the bag on one shoulder with the elbows high. Keep your feet under shoulders & heels down.
reach your butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat position, really try to keep your elbows high while keeping the midline braced.
Stand hard and fast to pop the sandbag off of the body. Pop the bag up and over your head and onto the other shoulder.  Work to pass through a fully locked out position when the bag is over your head before lowering back down.

For the push ups + lat sandbag drag  set your feet up in a wider stance for a stronger base. Start on one side of the bag and perform a push up, make sure the chest and thighs
 touch the ground while keeping
the hips slightly elevated. Keep belly nice and tight.
Come to full lockout at top of the push up.
Reach for the sandbag with the opposite
are while keeping the hips as square as
possible, rotation of the hips will come as
your body starts to fatigue and thats fine.
Drag and toss the bag across your body underneath. Try your best to fully clear your sandbag across your body.

WARM UP
Squat Warm Up

WORKOUT

Front Squat (4 x 4 (4 Sets of 4 Tempo Squats))

Take about 12 minutes to complete this.

--- THE TEMPO IS 33X1 ---
This means lower for 3 seconds, active hold in the bottom for a full 3 seconds, drive hard back up to standing, pause for one second at the top and repeat for the remaining reps.

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

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

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

Every 3 Minutes for 15 Min
5 Bench Press
12 Bench Jump Overs

These should be heavy, unbroken sets.  You can keep the load the same or add load between sets.All 5 sets of the bench should be a challenge. Start somewhere around 80% and either keep it the same or add a small amount of load each time.

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.

The bench jump overs are just like they sound. Two foot take off and two foot landing, jump over the bench. Then, turn and jump over again. Each jump is one rep.

WARM UP
Pull Up Warm Up

WORKOUT

7 Min EMOM
3-6 of the following complex performed every minute for 7 min:
2 Second L Hold
1 Kip Swing
1 Toes to Bar

So one time through that is 1 rep.  Repeat for 3-6 reps each minute.You will hang from the bar and lift the legs into an L position.  Hold for 2 seconds.

From here you will lower the legs and pull your head and chest through in an arch position.  Then you will press against the bar and swing the feet forward into a hollow position.  That is 1 kip swing.

From there you will once again pull the head and chest through as the feet go behind and press into the bar as you bring the toes up!

If you are unable to do the L hang you may do a knee tuck hang.
If you are unable to do toes to bar you may do a knee up or knee to elbow.

Your score is how many total reps you did through out.
So if you did 5 per min for 7 min your score is 35.  Write what version you did in the comments.

3 X 5 SLOW LOWER DEFICIT PUSH UP
RIGHT INTO
MAX PUSH UPS
After all 3 Rounds...REST 2 MIN
THEN
3 X 1 MIN PLANK ON ELBOWS
(WEIGHTED)

Score: Total Push Ups from the Max Push Up Sets Combined

Slow Lower Deficit Push Up
You will use a plate (or stack of plates), phone books (are those still a thing?), or something under both hand to elevate your hands by about 3-4".  Make sure you don't set them up too wide.  You will perform a slow lower push up for 5 reps.  Try to lower for 3-5 seconds for each rep.  Press up at normal speed to complete lock out.

Max Push Ups
After you have completed 5 of the slow lower deficit reps you will immediately move off of the plates and do as many reps as you can of regular push ups.  These must be WITH GOOD SOLID TECHNIQUE.  No shorting the reps.  No sagging, snaking, worming, or hips up.  Chest and thighs touch at the bottom.  All of the way up at the top.

Weighted Plank on Elbows
You can do these in a vest, or with a plate on your back. If you don't have either of those as an option  you CAN do these unweighted as well.  Start with something light and only increase weight if you can hold the entire minute without starting to sag.

Your weight will be in your elbows, which should be lined up under the shoulders.  Shoulders, hips, knees and feet are in line.  Belly tight and butt squeezed.  Weight should be on the middle of the back.  If you start to sag - drop the weight or go weightless.

If holding 1 min without weight still isn't happening - you can accumulate 1 min for each set.

 
SOGO | WEEK 06 | 02/02/2020
 

Every 5 minutes for 30 minutes, perform:
5 clockwise/5 counter clockwise Plate Halos
10 Upright Rows
20 Push Up + Dumbbell Pass Through
12 Ring Rows/Supine Barbell Rows

Suggested weights:
Halos:
Men: 25-45lb plate
Women: 15-25lb plate

Upright Rows/ Pass Thoughs
Men: 25-40lb DBs
Women: 15-25lb DBs

Score: Enter the weight you used for the upright row - enter other details in comments.
Goal: Perform slow controlled movements moving from one right into the next.  This should give you about 90 seconds to recover between rounds.

For the plate halos, stand holding a plate (or single DB) in front of your face. Rotate the plate around your head one direction 5 times then rotate it 5 more times the other way. Keep your belly tight!

For the upright row, stand up tall with a dumbbell in each hand.  Keep your chest up and belly tight as you pull the dumbbells up to your chest.  They should stay close to your body.  Elbows shouldn't really go higher than your shoulders. Lower back to your waist with control.

For the push up and pass through you will start in a plank position with your dumbbell just to the outside your right hand. First do a push up, then with your left hand, reach under and grip your dumbbell. Pull it to the left side of your body.

Keep your belly tight and butt down. Do another push up then reach under and across with your right hand and carry the DB back to the right side of your body. Choose a load you can carry the DB all the way across to the outside of your opposite arm each time. One push up + pass though = 1 rep.

For the supine barbell row, set the bar in the rack low enough that you'll be at a challenging angle. Same if you are doing ring rows, find the right angle!

Position yourself under the bar/rings with arms straight, shoulders slightly behind the bar/rings. Keep a rigid body position with knees, hips and shoulders in a straight line.  Pull your body up to make chest contact with the bar or rib contact with the rings and lower back to straight arms.
