Warm-Up:

8-12 EMOM, 2-3 sets

Minute 1: Cardio Choice

Minute 2: 10 Russian KBS + 10 Goblet Squats

Minute 3: 10 Alternating Box Step-Ups + 5 Box Jumps 24/20in

Minute 4: Mobilization Exercise

Round 1: :20/:20 Second Pigeon Stretch

Round 2: :20/:20 World's Greatest Stretch

Round 3: :60 Thoracic Squat Rotations

Specific Barbell Prep (4-6 min)

Focus on bracing and breathing mechanics in the squat with the goal of 20x1 Tempo



Perform

10 Empty Barbell Reps

5 Reps @ 50-55%

3 Reps @ 60-65%

-

Then Get starting Loads on the Barbell

Back Squat (Every 4:00 minutes x 3 Sets
Complete
5 Reps @ 70%
3 Reps @ 75%
1 Rep @ 80-85%

Rest as needed between 5-3-1 to complete within the 4:00 time frame)

--

This is to be done as 5 reps, then 3 reps, then 1 rep within every 4:00 minute segment just as we did 2 weeks ago. This will have athletes adjusting weight quickly and ending with 80-85% on the bar for the final rep of 9 within each set. This creates a good volume dose as well as allowing athletes to tackle heavier loads in a cluster set style lifting session.

"Crank" (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

8:00 AMRAP

20 American Kettlebell Swing

10 Box Jumps

50ft Single Arm OH Walking Lunge (25ft down/25ft back)

Load: (Rx53/35, S 44/26)

Box Height: (Rx30/24, S 24/20″)

Score = Rounds + Reps
-

Goal: 3 Rounds

Time Domain: ~2:30 / round

Maintain steady, repeatable pacing across both rounds. Athletes should aim to complete the first round within 2-2:30 then things will settle in a bit as fatigue builds in the quads.

Primary Objective: Maintain unbroken sets on the Kettlebell Swing + unbroken 25ft (7.5m) segments on the Lunge

Secondary Objective: Keep a steady and smooth pace on the box

Stimulus: Leg stamina and muscular endurance

RPE : 8/10

Challenging but sustainable. Fatigue will build across rounds, so early pacing is critical to avoid redlining towards the final 3 minutes of the AMRAP.

)

--

The goal here is to be able to hit repeatable reps at higher percentage weight. The key focus here will be dialing in the time between reps in order to hit quality reps and catch in a quality front rack position. The focus should be consistency of the feet and fast elbows punching under the bar.

"Little E" (AMRAP - Reps)

8:00 AMRAP

Max Wall Balls

Starting at 0:00 and EMOM, Complete 6/5 Strict Pull-Ups

Wall Ball: (Rx 20/14, S 16/12), 10/9ft
--

Goal: Accumulate as many wall ball reps as possible while staying consistent with strict pull-ups. Athletes should aim for at least 80+ total wall balls across the workout.

Primary Objective: Sustain steady wall ball sets and minimize transition time between pull-ups and returning to the wall ball.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken Sets of Strict Pull-Ups

Stimulus: Midline and shoulder stamina under fatigue. Athletes must balance heart rate control with upper-body endurance.

RPE: 7.5/10—Moderately uncomfortable. The workout requires managing breathing and local muscular fatigue, especially after the later rounds of pull-ups.

It's not going to be easy, it's going to be worth it.
