Warm-Up Flow (Checkmark)

General Warm-Up

2:00 Cardio of Choice

:30/:30 Quadruped Hip Rotations

5/5 World's Greatest Stretch

10 Romanian Deadlifts

:30 Jump Rope (Singles or Dubs)

10 Alternating Cossack Squat

Specific Deadlift Prep

Set 1 and 2: 5 Reps @ light loads, building -- focus on lat engagement, bar drag, and breath at the top

Set 3: 5 Reps @ 50-60% -- reinforce bracing sequence, bar stays in contact with legs

Set 4: 3 Reps @ 70-75% -- full setup cue before each rep, building tension from the floor

*Put working loads on the bar

Primer (After Deadlifts)

3 Sets:

15 Double Unders or 30 Single Unders

3 Power Cleans building toward workout load

Use this to confirm barbell load before “Light Switch” begins.

Deadlift (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Start at 80% and build across sets toward a 2RM. Goal is 90% or above by the final set. The seated box jump follows each deadlift set -- athlete sits fully on the box, eliminates all countermovement, and drives through the hips explosively. These train the same pattern. Keep rest honest and do not start early. The range for the Box Jumps is due to the athletes and how high they want to go. If going high, keep it to 1 box jump, if staying more moderate move to 3 box jumps

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 4 Sets -- 5-7 Deadlifts + 5-7 Box Jumps at a moderate, consistent load. Focus on position and mechanics over loading.

Hotel Gym / Travel or Mods: Hex Bar Deadlift or Romanian Deadlift 8-10 Reps at a light to moderate load. Substitute step-up to box or seated chair jump if a high box is unavailable.

Specific Ring Muscle-Up Prep

Gymnastics Skill: Ring Muscle-Up Progression

Set 1 -- Establish false grip in rings, 3-5 slow ring rows with false grip, pause at sternum and feel the lat engagement, then 3-5 jumping transitions from below the rings to support. Then add in Ring Support Holds and Bottom of Ring Dip Holds

Set 2 -- 3-5 low ring banded or low ring muscle-up transitions, pause 2 seconds in support at the top, coach the turnover and elbow drive past the rings

Set 3 -- 3 controlled attempts at the current progression level -- low ring options, strict pull-ups + dips, kipping drill for those building -- confirm positions are clean before the skill block opens

This is a 12-minute structured skill block. Coaches facilitate athletes through the progression that matches their current capacity. Beginners work strict ring row transitions and low ring jumping ring dips to support. Intermediate athletes develop kipping timing on the low rings and the pull-to-press connection. Advanced athletes refine efficiency and consistency working to better mechanics. The progression moves from strict to kipping and from low rings to high rings -- athletes should not skip steps to get to the "real" version. Mechanics first.

2 Sets:

25ft (7.5m) Single Arm Dumbbell Overhead Lunge

6 Alternating Dumbbell Snatch at working weight

Secondary Objective: Manage the dumbbell work strategically -- the snatch and lunge loads should not destroy your grip before you reach the rings.
