30 Burpees
30 Dumbbell Thrusters
30 Burpees
30 Dumbbell Squats
30 Burpees

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Wome: 25# DBs

Score: Total Time
Goal:  12-18 Min

Choose a load and burpee variation that will allow you to complete each block of 30 reps in 2-3 minutes. Loads should allow for at least 10 reps unbroken when fresh. SHIFT is always a great option too!

For the hang squat clean you will deadlift the DBs to the hips with hands just outside the legs. Your feet are between hip and shoulder width, heels down. Stand tall. Tighten the belly. Arms straight. Reach the hips back slightly and bend the knees to dip. Keep the DBs back and arms straight. Stand up hard and fast! Shrug the shoulders. Pull the DBs up the body with the elbows high and back and pull YOURSELF DOWN at the same time. You will rotate the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat.

In this squat position heels are down, knees out, chest up, belly tight, butt lower than knees, no plopping or rounding, elbows high! Drive through the heels and drive knees out to stand. Lead with chest and elbows, stand fully to complete each rep. For the next rep you will lower the DBs back to the hips.

You can definitely partition this movement into a hang power clean then a dumbbell squat.

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

You may also remove the push up portion of the burpee or even elevate the hands if you need to.

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.

Same thing with the squats, belly tight, back flat, chest up, knees out.

Men: 22-24"
Women: 18-20"

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps
Goal: 4 - 7 Rounds

Set yourself up for roughly 3 minute rounds on this one. Lots of explosive hip action so make sure you have a good set up for each jump and keep your belly tight on the hang power snatches!

For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. 
Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 1 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

For the box jumps, choose a height that is manageable. Make sure when you jump and when you land that the knees do not cave in! Stand all the way up on your box/bench. You may also sub step ups or lunges. 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!

But, if jumping is not happening you can always do step ups.

For the single DB Hang Power Snatches you will bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and belly tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep!

Lower back to the waist and switch hands. You will alternate hands with each rep for these so you end up doing 8 per arm per round.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. 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.

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

RX+ Men/Women:
5 Devil Press
3 Lungesters

Score: Total Time
Goal: 8 - 13 Min

Choose a load and movement variation that will allow you to definitely finish between 8-13 minutes. Faster than that and you went too light. Slower and you'll want to scale down next time!

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.

Another option would be to do a burpee then a kettlebell/dumbbell swing.

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!

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

AND THEN

Put the feet at shoulder width apart. Heels down. Dumbbells still at the shoulders with the elbows high. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down and drive the knees out. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. Drive up hard and fast out of the squat. Pop the dumbbells off of the shoulders. Keep the belly tight and press the dumbbells straight up to lock out - finishing with the biceps by the ears.

If your dumbbells are too heavy, you can use one held with both hands in front of your collarbone like a bowtie.

If lunging isn't feeling good for you today, switch to a step up with each leg then a thruster.

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!

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

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

KB SWING - If you notice any coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub a single arm swing!

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

10 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 10 Min)

8 Push Up
8 KB/DB Swings
4 Unweighted Lungesters

Ideal weight for Men: 30-50# Single KB/DB
Ideal weight for Women 12-30# Single KB/DB

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps
Goal: 6 - 9 Rounds

For this workout you will go through the 8 push ups, 8 KB swings, and 4 unweighted lungesters for 10 minutes.

For the push ups you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups. Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps. It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.

Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows. Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking. Go all of the way down to touch the chest at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

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 to shoulder height. Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!

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. You will perform a lunge on each side.

AND THEN

Put the feet at shoulder width apart. Heels down. Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down and drive the knees out. Keep the chest up and belly tight. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. Then stand all of the way up.

If you are unable to lunge you can sub an alternating step up on each side + a body weight squat. 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. Then you will perform the body weight squat.

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!

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

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

KB SWING - If you notice any coning or pulling in the overhead position of the swing, sub shoulder height or eye level swings and focus on posture and breathing mechanics. If the shape of your body (preggo bellies!) is making the bottom position a little too tight for comfort, you can sub a single arm swing!

This is gonna be a grind! Each round should be 4-5 minutes. Push the pace on the run and shake out those arms.

For the ring row/supine barbell row, set the bar in the rack low enough that you'll be at a challenging angle. For this workout you should definitely have to break up the reps into 2-4 sets.

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

If you choose bent over rows, they will likely go faster than the supine rows. So, make them challenging!

Set up for the bent over rows by deadlifting the DBs to just below the knee. From here, keeping the torso position set and the chest lifted - you will pull the elbows back and bring the dumbbells to just below the chest. Keep the belly tight. Bring the dumbbells back to just below the knee with the arms straight at the bottom. No kipping or pulling your CHEST down!

For the push press hold a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders. Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart. Chest up. Belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip. Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast. As the DBs pop up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish with biceps by the ears. Standing tall. Locked out elbows. Belly tight.

For the 400m run, you're working with 2:00-2:30. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 2 min double/single unders, low step ups, or toe taps to a low target.

Ideal weight for Women: Single 12-30# KB/DB - or - pair of lighter dumbbells for overhead press

Score: Total Time
Goal: 12-17 Min

For this workout you will go through the 16 rows, 10 overhead press, and 90 seconds of movement for 5 rounds total.

If you are doing the TRX/Ring option - just remember that the more parallel your body is to the ground - the more difficult these become. Ring  rows should be challenging and not unbroken. 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.

For the single arm bent over rows you will lean over against the wall, on a bench, the back of the couch - whatever. Hold a single dumbbell/kb in one hand and let it hang from the shoulder, but pull the shoulder back. Then with the chest lifted  - pull the weight to the rib cage area with the elbow going back. This isn't meant to be done fast and jerky. Control the up and then show control as you lower down.

For the bent over rows it should be 8 on one side then 8 on the other.

For the shoulder press you can use two DBs on the shoulders or one DB/KB at the chest. Focus on keeping the rib cage down as you go to press up. Press the object until it’s completely locked out overhead with the biceps next to the ears! Then bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.

For the 90 seconds you will choose either a Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders, Low Step Ups. Try to find something that will keep you moving for the full 90 seconds.

Men: 40-50#
Women: 25-35#

Score: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any Additional Reps
Goal: 7-10 Rounds

Lots of shoulder stuff this week, so if you are feeling a little smoked, just go eye level on the swings.

Shoot for 90 seconds or less per round.

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 to eye level or all 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!

You can use a plate, med ball or dumbbells for the Russian Twists. Each twist counts as a rep.

Sit on the ground and lean back with the weight at your belly. Twist and touch the weight on the right - then the left. Each touch counts. Keep your chest up the whole time, try to avoid rounding the spine.

Modify by not leaning back as far, or going unweighted and just touching your fingertips to the floor on each side.

Please note it is important to avoid deep twisting motion during pregnancy and in the immediate postpartum period.

The clean AND jerk together counts as 1 rep.

The weight will start on the ground with the feet under the hips. 
Dumbbells outside the feet, hands just outside of the legs. Hinge at the hips but keep the chest lifted and back flat. There should also be a bend in the knees, but not so much you are squatting. Arms are long and straight.

Lift the weight by digging the heels into the ground as you lift the chest. Once past the knees you will pick up speed and jump and shrug the shoulders! Keep the DBs close to the body as they travel UP - try to avoid a massive bicep curl! Pull yourself down and under - and pull your elbows around and through FAST! Catch the DBs on the shoulders in a partial squat with the elbows in front. Make sure the heels are down and knees are out.

If you are comfortable you will feed this partial dip position into the jerk. This means you will stand up hard and fast to pop the weight off of the shoulders - press the DBss up as you press yourself back down. 
Lock out over your head with the biceps by the ears and the belly tight in a partial squat position.

Make sure the heels are down and knees are out. Stand to finish!

For thrusters, DBs will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. 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 ears.

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

POWER CLEAN - You could also try less weight, going from between the feet in the set up position or 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 inefficient movement patterns.

JUMP/HOP OVERS - This is going to be all about managing the impact and pressure to your core and pelvic floor. You can sub skip overs or line hop overs for a little less impact. You can ALWAYS substitute Step Ups if you want zero impact or even KB Swings if you want to get a little more explosive with your hips. For pregnant mamas, please remember that if you are unsure if you can complete the movement because of balance, strength, or coordination it may not be worth the risk of potentially falling or rolling an ankle! For mamas further along focus on your breath and posture throughout the movement and do less reps if that helps you concentrate on good technique and awareness in your body.

THRUSTERS - To focus on managing proper posture, breathing mechanics, core pressurization, and/or joint stability sub: Dumbbells instead of the barbell, Less weight, Box/Target/Supported Sqaut + Press, or Air Squats

BUTTS & GUTS | WEEK 14 | 03/29/2020

Butts FIRST!
Every 2 Min for 12 Min (6 Rounds)
12 Sumo Stance RDLs
12 Walking Lunges

RX Men - Try 50#ish DBs
RX Women - Try 30-35#ish DBs

Every 2 min you do the 12 and 12 and rest for the remainder of the time.

The Sumo RDLs are done in a sumo stance - which is slightly wider than your squat stance. Toes should be turned out slightly.

You will hinge at the hips and allow a slight bend in the knees. Keep the dumbbells or barbell close to the body by actively pulling it back. Keep the back flat / chest up and heels down.

Bring the weight to about mid-shin - not all the way down. Squeeze the butt to stand up.

For the lunges you can hold the dumbbells however you want - either to the side or at the shoulder. If you are using a bar, you may use front or back rack!

8 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps As Possible in 8 Min)

12 KB/ DB Deadbugs (6 Per Leg)
24 Russian Twists (12 Touches Per Side)

Weight is up to you - but here are our suggestions!

Men - 25-40#
Women - 15-25#

The KB/DB dead bugs can either be done on the ground, or for an even bigger challenge - on a box/bench.

You will lay flat on your back with a single KB/DB in both hands locked out at the top of the bench press position over your chest. You will bend your knees and bring them up above your hips (now you look like a "dead bug"). You will then SLOWLY and under control lower the leg and straighten it until it is parallel to and touching the floor. Then bring it back up. Switch legs with each rep.

The goal here is to keep the spine in contact with the floor as you lower the leg.

For an added challenge you will lay on a bench/box and lower the leg (without straightening it) down lower than the box. Only go as low as you can maintain that spine position.

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

Keep repeating the 6 and 24 as many times as possible for 8 minutes!!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

WALKING LUNGES - 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 back instead of step forward in the lunge lunge. You can also try stepping laterally onto a stack of plates or something instead of stepping back or up, sometimes this helps create some control in managing the position of the pelvis. Feel free to sub a squat or goblet squat for the lunges.

RUSSIAN TWISTS - Please note it is important to avoid deep twisting motion during pregnancy and in the immediate postpartum period. Consider subbing: Pallof Press, Functional Progression 2, Dumbbell Windmill, Banded Woodchop (see Visit Mama Modifications Movement Library on the Members Only Website for demos).

 
SANDBAG | WEEK 14 | 03/29/2020

....Keep lowering Alternating Hang Clean & Press Number by 2 per Round - Keep Bear Hug Lunges at 12 Until...

2 Alternating Hang Clean & Press
12 Bear Hug Lunges

Ideal weight for Men: 50-70#
Ideal weight for Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 25 Min

The bear hug grip is sneaky. Make sure you keep the bag close to your body but can still allow yourself to breathe in those lunges.

In the hang clean and presses you might try not using the handles!

For the alternating hang clean and press, step your feet outside the bag then grip the sides of the bag on the short side and deadlift it to the waist.

Arms are long and straight. Dip by hinging at the hip slightly and bending the knees. From here you will basically jump (stand up hard and fast) and SHRUG to make the sandbag weightless. Guide the sandbag UP the body by pulling the elbows high and outside. Pull YOURSELF down into a partial squat allowing the bag to meet on one shoulder. Keep your heels down, butt back, knees out.

From here you will take it overhead by pressing or push pressing. Stand up hard and fast to pop the sandbag off the shoulder. Punch the sandbag up and over your head until arms are fully extended. Lower the bag back to your shoulder then to the waist, bag between your legs to set up for the next rep. You will alternate sides so for the set of 20 for example, it is 10 on each side.

For the bear hug lunge, hold the bag against your chest with your arms wrapped around the bag. Keep your belly tight, chest up and draw your elbows back alongside your ribcage to keep the bag close to your body. You may choose from forward stepping, reverse, or even walking lunges.

You will alternate legs so for the set of 12 for example - it's 6 per leg. Drive off of the heel and don't allow the knees to cave. We like the reverse lunge because the working leg stays planted so you end up being able to drive through the heel really well. You will step back and keep the heel down. Don't allow the knee to cave in. You will GENTLY touch the ground with the leg (knee) you stepped back with. Then drive off of the front foot (heel) to bring you back to standing. Switch legs for the next rep.

POWER | WEEK 14 | 03/29/2020

Pause Back Squat
(4 x 5 -  4 Sets (one set every 5 min for 20 min))
3 Second Pause in the bottom

For these squats you will hold the bottom position for 3 seconds on each rep.

To get set up, make sure your feet are roughly shoulder width apart. Shift and make sure those heels are down. The bar should be on the back with the chest lifted and belly tight!

To start the movement you will reach the butt back and down, while working to keep the chest up. Keep the heels down and drive the knees out as you go down.

You will keep going down until your butt is lower than your knees at the bottom. In this position there should be no plopping or rounding. You should have a flat back and chest up. Pause here for 3 seconds.

Stand up by driving the heels into the ground, lifting the chest and driving the knees out.

Choose a weight that is challenging for you and go up or down between sets based on how it feels! Your score is your heaviest set.

For Time
400 Meter Farmer Carry

Every time you put the weight down, 5 Strict Press with your dumbbells or kettlebells.

RX Men: 40# DBs/KBs +
RX Women: 25# DBs/KBs +

RX +: 800 Meters

Ouch. So basically you will carry a set of dumbbells or kettlebells at your sides for 400 meters. If you need a break - no problem. You will just complete 5 strict press before you can start carrying again.

If you don't have matching dbs or kbs you can have varying weights, just switch hands when you break and do 5 strict press per side with the correct weight!

GYMNASTICS | WEEK 14 | 03/29/2020

WARM UP
Pull Up Warm Up
Box Jump Warm Up

WORKOUT

12 Min EMOM
(Every Min on the Min for 12 Min / Alternating)

Min 1: Max Bar/Ring Muscle Ups
Min 2: 8 Seated Box Jumps

**Muscle Ups may be bar or ring. If you think you will hold big numbers you may scale up to strict. If you are still working on your muscle ups these may also be banded, jump, or foot assisted transitions.

Seated Box Jumps should be 20-30" depending on your ability/height and also should start in a completely seated position below parallel.

Score: Muscle Up Number

**Put what type of muscle up you did and box height in comments.

For this workout - choose a type of muscle up that will allow you to get 3-4 on those minutes. If it ends up being 2-3 on a few minutes- that's ok too.

If you are going to get more than like 6-7 - try strict or at least start that way.

Remember on the muscle up reps to get that good lean back - hips to rings. Do NOT think about separating your hands to make room for your body. That happens as you come forward at the top - not during the pull. Pull all of the way up - and then think of doing a massive sit up as you pull through. Keep those rings tight as you come out of the dip!

If doing bar - think hips to bar, then big sit up! Try taking your hands a BIT wider than a regular pull up to give yourself more room to come over the top of the bar. Hands have to move around the bar and change position as you come up and over.

If doing a modified (banded, jumping etc) muscle up make sure you make it challenging and still work on good technique. No JUMPING from the bottom to the top of the dip! Work all of the positions along the way.

Seated box jumps should start in a completely stopped seated position below parallel. Drive through the heels, throw the arms, and then lift the knees fast! Land with your WHOLE foot on the box or step. Step down and re-set. Sit and come to a complete stop!


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

Plyo Box Pike Handstand Walk Arounds

Each full trip around the box = 1 Rep

Scale idea - 7 Min Shoulder Tap Practice (Pike on Box) You will place your feet on your plyo box and then get into a pike position with your hips over your head and hands. Walk your hands around the box in a full circle. Taking small steps. Press the ground away and keep the core tight. Keep looking back at the box, and keep the arms mostly locked out.

Do one full circle in one direction - that is 1 rep. Next circle go the other direction.

Spread the fingers wide and distribute the weight across your whole hand. You don't have to do the WHOLE circle unbroken as you start to fatigue. You just need to complete the whole circle before going the other way. Break as needed.

Quality over quantity.

If you aren't ready to move with this or you don't have a box to go around. Just practice shoulder taps! Every 20 taps = 1  rep!

SOGO | WEEK 14 | 03/29/2020

32 Min EMOM
(Every Min on the Min for 32 Min)

Min 1 - 12 Around the Worlds
Min 2 - Rest
Min 3 - 12 Pull Over
Min 4 - Rest
Min 5 - 15 High Close Grip Front Raise
Min 6 - Rest
Min 7 - 15 Pec Fly
Min 8 - Rest

Score: Not super important here. Log the load used for the Pec Flys but focus on performing ALL the movements well.
Goal: To get a sweet pump!

Movements should take close to the entire minute. So each rep of the Around the Worlds for example, should be 4-5 seconds long. Move slow and try not to use momentum or ever feel like you are not under tension.

For the Around the Worlds, start with light dumbbells at your waist, palms facing out. Raise the dumbbells laterally, then keep going until they barely touch overhead. Lower back down the same way you came up.

For the Pull Overs, lay back on the bench with the crown of your head just over the edge. Holding your dumbbells above your chest with a micro-bend at the elbow, bring your arms back over your head. The DBs should get as close to the floor as possible without overarching your back. Try to pin your front ribcage down to your hips and pull your spine down into the bench throughout the entire movement. Raise the DBs back up into the air over your chest to complete the rep.

For these Front Raises, hold the dumbbells together, still with palms facing down. This time when you raise the DBs out in front of you, keep raising them until they are all the way overhead. Keep a tiny bend at the elbow throughout.

For the Pec Flys, lay back on the bench with arms extended straight up into the air with a microbend at the elbow. Keep your ribs drawn down toward your hips to avoid overarching your back as you lower the DBs out to the sides. They should be at the height of, and in line with the shoulders. Squeeze your inner pecs together to raise your arms back up into the air.

OLY | WEEK 14 | 03/29/2020

Push Press (6 x 3 (Building))
For this the goal will be to add weight each set. SO start with a weight that is challenging but also give you room to go up.

For the push press the bar will start on the front of the shoulders with the elbows slightly in front. Feet are under the hips with the heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Dip - keeping the heels down - allowing the knees to come forward slightly and driving them OUT - butt going SLIGHTLY back but mostly straight down - keeping the chest up with the shoulder on top of the hip. The dip is shallow and only a few inches.

Stand hard and fast out of the bottom of the dip to pop the bar off of the shoulder. Move the face out of the way and press the bar up to lock out finishing with the bar over the middle of the body and the biceps by the ears! Keep the belly tight!

When lowering the weight you will lead with the elbows in front and absorb with the knees. Either feed that into the next push press or stand and re-set if necessary.

Rest roughly 2 min or so between sets.

10 Min EMOM
(Every Min on the Min for 10 Min)

Min 1: 5 Heavy Dumbbell Jerks
Min 2: 40 Double Unders / Double Under Practice

Score is weight used for Jerks.

If you don't have consistent double unders use the second minute to practice them or give yourself a target you can hit.

For this EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute). You will do the 5 heavy jerks one minute (rest remainder of minute). Then do the double unders on the other minute.

So basically you will do 5 rounds of the whole thing.

For the jerk the dip and drive part is the same as the push presses you just did. But this time instead of finishing by pushing the weight up - you will push yourself DOWN under the dumbbells. Catch with the arms locked out and biceps by the ears in a partial squat position. Heels down, knees out, chest up. Stand up to complete.

If you don't have heavy enough dumbbells you may do these with a bar!

PROGRAM A*

PROGRAM A

WARM UP
Running Warm Up
Squat Warm Up
Shoulder Warm Up

WORKOUT

With a running clock complete:
50 MANMAKERS FOR TIME
THEN
RUN 800 METERS

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

RX+: Go Faster

**You can go heavier if you really want to, but we don't feel it's necessary.

Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 15 Min

No matter how you approach it, 50 manmakers are going to take a lot out of you. But you want to be able to push that run too! Ideally, the run is less than 6 minutes.

Some of you will go faster. But don't shorten the distance unless you are going to go way over 6!

If you can't run due to space or weather, instead do 30 box jump overs or unweighted step up overs before AND after the manmakers.

For the manmakers you will place your hands on the dumbbells roughly shoulder width apart.  Jump or step your feet back.  Place your knees down if you need to and perform a push up. Then perform a renegade row on each side.  From the top of the push up position you will pull the elbow back, bringing the dumbbell to the side of the rib cage.  Try to avoid rotating, allowing the hips to come up, or sagging the hips.  Lower the dumbbell back to the ground and repeat on the other side.

Then jump or step the feet in. Dumbbells may be inside or outside the feet based on your preference.  Heels down, chest up, flat back, knees are bent.  Stand up hard and fast keeping the dumbbells close and pull them up your body as you pull yourself under. Catch with the elbows high and the DBs on your shoulders in the bottom of a squat. Heels down, knees out, butt lower than knees, chest up, belly tight, back flat.

Drive through the heels to stand up.  Stand up hard and fast to pop the dumbbells off of the shoulders.  Keep the belly tight and finish by pressing to lockout with the biceps by the ears.

The first modification should be to lighten the load.

Other options include doing the push up portion from the knees. You can also split the movement up a bit more by doing a power clean and then a thruster.

Then bring the bar back to below the knee but not all of the way to the ground.  Keep the knees slightly bent and the chest up.  Pull the bar to the chest with the elbows going back then lower back to below the knee.  Stand.

Perform a hang squat clean by dipping forward slightly, reaching the butt back and bending the knees.  Allow the bar to travel down the leg.  Chest up, belly tight.  Arms straight.  Bar close. Stand fast and shrug.  Pull the bar up your body as you pull yourself under.  Shoot the elbows around and through quickly to catch on the shoulders with the elbows high in the bottom of a squat.  Heels down, knees out, butt lower than knees, chest up, belly tight.

Stand up hard and fast.  Pop the bar off of the shoulders.  Keep belly tight and press to lockout!

MAMA MODIFICATIONS

MAN MAKERS - 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 in the row. If you have to modify the movement too much you may want to sub KB Swings, Sled Push/Pull, Farmer Carry, or Ball Slams so that you can keep moving and keep the heart rate up!

RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. 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.

PUSH UPS - If you notice coning/doming in the plank position or if you find yourself straining to breathe or bearing down forcefully into your belly or pelvic floor, sub an elevated push up with hands on box, bench, wall, table, etc. or sub floor press, or bench press.

SHIFT WARM UP
SHIFT WORKOUT

Street Parking Vault:
SHIFT "DOCE"
15 MIN AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 MIn)

1 MIN JOG, ROW, BIKE, TAPS, LOW STEP UPS
10 PUSH UP + TAP TAP
10 AIR SQUATS

No weight needed today.

SCORE: Total Number of Completed Rounds + any additional reps
Goal: 7 Rounds +

For this workout you will do  1 minute of movement followed by 10 push ups + tap, tap, and 10 air squats.

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

For the push ups + taps you may do regular push ups, knee push ups, or even elevated push ups.  Choose a type of push up that you can't just bust out 10 reps.  It's ok if you need to break them up a bit.
Make sure the elbows go back and that the hands are just wider than the shoulders. No flaring elbows.  Keep the belly tight and avoid worming or snaking.  Go all of the way down to touch the chest  at the bottom, come all of the way up at the top.

Once you are at the top of the push up, you will bring your right hand to your left shoulder, then take your left hand to touch your right shoulder. Try to not let the hips rotate, or allow the butt to pop up when you lift your hand up. You can do the taps on your toes, Kees, or even elevated!

The Push Up + Taps is 1 push up + tap right shoulder + tap left shoulder =  1 rep.

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 have a tendency to collapse at the bottom you may try using a counter balance.  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.  Still focus on heels down, knees out, chest up!
