Warm-Up Flow (Checkmark)

General Warm-Up

1:00 Row + 1:00 Jump Rope

:30/:30 Quadruped Adductor Hip Rock

:30 Down Dog Calf Stretch

:30/:30 Active Pigeon Stretch (5 sec Pause in Stretch)

:30/:30 Couch Stretch

-

2 Sets

10 Pause Glute Bridges (2sec)

:30 Dead-Bug Alternating Heel Taps

:30 Alternating Bird-Dogs

8/8 Staggered Stance Single KB RDL

Specific Prep

2-3 Sets:

:30-:45 Row, Building Pace

5 Romanian Deadlifts

3 Hang Clean High Pulls

5 Hang Power Cleans

3 Seated Box Jumps, building to working height

:30 Jump Rope Practice

Barbell Prep and Primer

3 Sets:

3 Deadlifts + 2 Seated Box Jumps

Building to working Loads

Deadlift (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets: 6-8 Reps as Romanian Deadlift or Traditional Deadlift with light to moderate loads + 3 Seated Position to Vertical Jump

Movement Limitations: Hex Bar Deadlift / Sumo Deadlift / Romanian Deadlift ( + 3 Seated Vertical Leaps )

"Central Intelligence" (Time)

For Time:

1k Row

30 Hang Power Cleans

100 Double Unders (A:200 singles)

Barbell: (Rx155/105, S 125/85)
Score = Time

Goal: 7-11 minutes

Time Cap: 13 minutes

RPE: 8/10

Stimulus: Barbell Conditioning / Aerobic Threshold

Primary Objective: Manage the barbell strategically across the 30 Hang Power Cleans. This is the make-or-break section of the workout and athletes who go unbroken too early will pay with forearm fatigue and trouble on the dubs.

Secondary Objective: Hold a strong, sustainable pace on the row without blowing up before the barbell. Row should feel like an 8/10 effort, so it's strong but not all out.

Optional Accessories (Checkmark)

3 Sets:

:40 RKC Plank

:40 Sorenson Hold (Weighted)

2-3 Sets:

10 Ring Rows + :15 Ring Support Hold

8 Bradford Press @ empty barbell (front rack to back rack and back to front rack)

Build weighted pull-up loading and confirm strict press weight across sets before the clock starts. The Bradford Press is a range of motion primer, not a working set, so keep it light and smooth.

Then.. Add Loads to barbell prior to starting

Strength EMOM (2 Rounds for weight)

12:00 EMOM

minute 1: 3-3-2-2-1-1 Weighted Strict Pull-Ups

minute 2: Unbroken Strict Press @ 55% of 1RM

*1 sec Pause Overhead on each Strict Press Rep

Weighted Pull-Ups: Start with heavy sets of 3 and add loads as the reps descend to sets of 1.

Strict Press: The weight will be taken from the floor and we are looking to tackle 50% for an unbroken set of reps in the range of 10-15 reps on each set, with the focus on volume accumulation and a challenging unbroken set that varies lightly set to set.
Goal: Consistent unbroken sets on the press each minute / Near maximal loading on the 2s and 1s for pull-ups

RPE: 7.5-8/10

Stimulus: Vertical Push / Pull Strength Endurance

Primary Objective: Protect the unbroken standard on the strict press across all 6 sets. The pause overhead is intentional and should not be rushed. Quality and volume accumulation are the priority here, not load.

Secondary Objective: Build pull-up loading with intention. Athletes should arrive at the 2s and 1s at a weight that is genuinely challenging, not simply heavy for appearance. The descending rep scheme exists to allow loading to climb safely.
