Score: Total Time
Goal: 13:00-19:00
COACHES NOTES
Ouchie! This one's gonna burn. You're shooting to complete each round within 2:30-4:00. If you're a wall ball master - go with the Extra Challenge option of unbroken reps! If you tend to struggle with wall balls, break them up early into sets of 8-12 reps so that you can stay strong across all 4 rounds. Choose a weight and pace for the Devil Press that will allow you to get those reps done in 1:15-2:00. Make sure you're breathing deeply every chance you get - especially during the minute rest!
WALL BALLS
Hold the ball at your chest with the elbows tucked in. Feet under the shoulders with heels down. Chest up and belly tight! Reach the butt back and down. Keep the heels down. Drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No plopping or rounding! Use the power from your legs to help throw the ball!
When you catch it. Catch first and then squat.
For the wall balls the ideal target height is roughly 9-10', but whatever you can make work is fine! If you have low ceilings or no ball you can sub lightweight thrusters. We prefer either a single heavy dumbbell (like the video) or 2 light dumbbells/bar.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Lower Target Height
Single DB Thruster
Empty Barbell Thruster
SINGLE ARM DEVIL PRESS
This is BASICALLY a burpee with a dumbbell in one hand. You do a push up with one hand on the dumbbell, jump or step the feet in. Pick the dumbbell 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 bicep by the ear! Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!

The bar will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. Reach your butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the bar on the shoulders and keeping the elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the bar off of the body.

As you stand you will take the plate with you and press it overhead. Keep the plate close to your body on the way up and keep your belly tight!

COACHES NOTES

If you tend to struggle with wall balls, break them up early into sets of 8-12 reps so that you can stay strong across all 4 rounds. Pace yourself on the sandbag burpees to get those reps done in 1:15-2:00. If 16 are taking much longer than 2 minutes, consider reducing the reps to a number that's more manageable. Make sure you're breathing deeply every chance you get - especially during the minute rest!
WALL BALLS

SANDBAG BURPEE
The bag will start right in front of your feet. Plant your hands on the bag a bit wider than shoulder width apart. Step or jump your feet back to a plank position and lower your chest to the bag, knees/thighs to the floor. Press back up to straight arms and step or jump your feet back in.
Grab hold of the overhand handles, bend your knees and lift your chest up. Keep the heels down. With your back flat and belly tight, stand up with the sandbag by driving through the heels and lifting the chest. Explode UP with the legs and hips. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbow high and outside. Then PUNCH the sandbag to lock out finishing with the biceps by the ear!

Score: Total Time
Goal: 24:00-30:00
COACHES NOTES
Ouchie! This one's gonna burn. You and your partner should be wrapping up the first set of 160 wall balls in 8 minutes or less! If you're past the 8:00 mark, consider customizing the remainder of the workout so that you guys finish in the goal range. For you wall ball masters, consider doing the Extra Challenge option - when it's your turn to work - do 20 unbroken wall balls before switching with your partner! Choose a weight and pace on the single arm devil press that allows you to do 10-15 reps within a minute. Make sure you breathe throughout the movements and especially while you're resting!

Thruster/Wallball
To focus on managing proper posture, breathing mechanics, core pressurization, and/or joint stability, sub: DB/WB Thruster, Lower Target Wall Ball Toss, Box/Target Supported Squat for Wall Ball, DB Goblet Squat + Press, or Air Squat
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!
