Wall Walk

2-4-6-8-10

Strict Pull-Ups

Shuttle Run

Wall Walk: 10in From the Wall

Shuttle Run = 25/25ft
Goal: 5+ Rounds, Into Round

RPE: 8-8.5/10

Stimulus: Gymnastics Endurance / Upper Body Pushing and Pulling

Primary Objective: Manage the wall walk volume as the ladder climbs. The sets feel small early and compound quickly. Athletes who move efficiently and stay tight on the wall will protect their pulling capacity on the strict pull-ups.

Secondary Objective: Keep the strict pull-ups unbroken in the early rounds. As the ladder climbs into sets of 6, 8, and 10 reps, planned breaks are smarter than failed reps. The shuttle run is more of a short reset for the arms. Use it.

Mobility Prep and Activation

2:00 Cardio Choice

:30/:30 World's Greatest Stretch

5/5 Open Book Thoracic Rotations

:30 Alternating Scorpions

:20 Wrist Circles (each direction)

General Prep

2 Sets

:30 Jump Rope Practice

6 Romanian Dealifts

6 Tall Muscle Cleans

6 Front Squats

4 Tall Cleans (Crisp Footwork / Turnover and Pull into Front Rack)

-

15 Double Unders or 30 Single Unders

4 Hang Cleans @ light loads added

3 Hang Cleans @ moderate loads added

2 Hang Cleans @ 5-10% below starting weights

Hang Clean (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Starting @ 60% on Set 1 (4 Reps), and increasing by feel to a heavier double at around an 8/10 RPE on Set 5.

The Hang Clean can be either a Power Clean or a Squat Clean. Ideally we catch high and start catching lower and lower on each set

Modifications:

- Again these can be Hang Power Cleans or Squat Cleans

- Adjusting to Dumbbell Hang Cleans can help with limited front rack mobility

"Checkmate" (Time)

3 Rounds for Time

15 Deadlift

30 Double Unders (A: 60 singles)

12 Power Cleans

30 Double Unders

9 Hang Squat Cleans

30 Double Unders

Barbell: (Rx135/95, S 115/75)
Goal: 11-15 minutes

Time Cap: 15:00

RPE: 8.5-9/10

Stimulus: Barbell Cycling / Aerobic Capacity

Primary Objective: Manage the barbell across all three rounds. The loading descends in difficulty from deadlift to power clean to hang squat clean, but the fatigue accumulates in the opposite direction. Athletes who go out too hot on the deadlifts will feel it on the hang squat cleans by round 2.

Secondary Objective: Consistency on the Jump Rope. 30 Double Unders each set is manageable if athletes stay composed. Tripping repeatedly on the rope bleeds time and spikes the heart rate going back into the barbell.

minute 5: Rest

Bench Press @ 60% of 1RM

Burpee Target: Out of Reach
Goal: All four working minutes completed with :10-:15 to spare | Consistent output across all 4 rounds

RPE: 7.5-8/10

Stimulus: Aerobic Capacity / Upper Body Pressing Endurance

Primary Objective: Protect the bench press across all 4 rounds. At 60% the load should be manageable and unbroken every minute — if athletes are grinding reps or missing the window, the load is too heavy.

Secondary Objective: Use the rest minute. A full minute of intentional recovery is built into this EMOM for a reason. Athletes should breathe down, shake out, and arrive at the row ready to move, not still recovering from the burpees.

Score = Total Time

Goal: 16:00-20:00

Time Cap: 20:00

Stimulus: Aerobic Endurance / Lower Body Muscular Endurance

RPE: 8-8.5/10

Primary Objective: Manage the running pace across all four efforts. The 800m is the centerpiece of this workout, athletes who run it too hard will arrive at the box step-overs in a bad spot and feel the back half of the chipper in their legs.

Secondary Objective: Protect the air squat mechanics under fatigue. With 160 total reps split across two sets, the focus will be on consistent depth, braced midline, and steady breathing on every rep.
