Shoulder Press (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Starting @ 55% for the set of 10 reps and then increasing incrementally by 5-10% over the course of 5 sets with the aim to end at 4 reps in the 75-80% range or around 8/10 RPE.

2 Wall Walks

8 KB Goblet Squats

Box Height: (Rx24/20, S 20/16″)

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

Wall Walk: 10in
Score = Total Working Time (Logged as time/set)

Goal: Complete each set in 1:10-1:30, leaving :30-:50 of rest each round.

Primary Objective: Move through all three movements with consistent effort across all 8 sets. The two-minute window is tight, and its planned that way to keep the work to rest tight to focus on recovery in a small window.

Secondary Objective: Maintain wall walk quality as fatigue accumulates. The shoulders and midline will be taxed well before set 8. Brace hard, move with intention, and do not let the wall walk become sloppy as the goblet squats and burpee box jumps take their toll.

RPE: 8/10. Comfortably Hard

Stimulus: Gymnastics / Full Body Muscular Endurance

Partner A: 50 Double Unders

Partner B: 15 Abmat Sit-Ups

Partners switch every time both complete their reps
Score = Reps Completed (1 cal = 1 rep, 10' = 1 rep, 1 round = 65 reps)

Goals:

Station 1 -- (75-100 / Male), (55-75 / Female) Calories

Station 2 -- 250-350ft, 75-105m

Station 3 -- 4-5 Rounds

Primary Objective: Complete equal work between partners across the workout. Lets focus on good communication and switch before failure to maintain quality output across the entire workout.

Secondary Objective: Station 3 is the only station where both partners must complete their movement before switching. Use this to push the pace on both the Double Unders and the Sit-Ups, neither movement should be sandbagged while waiting on the other. Its like ending with "Annie" to finish off the day.

Stimulus: Aerobic Capacity / Muscular Endurance / Partner Accountability

RPE: 7-8/10 across all three stations. The transitions give partial recovery. Athletes should be able to maintain consistent output across the full workout.

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

Shuttle Run: 25/25ft
Goal Time Domain: 9-12 minutes

Time Cap: 15 minutes

Primary Objective: Manage the pull-up volume on both ends of the workout. The buy-in and cash-out together total 60 pull-ups. Athletes who blow out their grip early will pay on the descending ladder with the grip fatigue on the kettlebell swings and then again on the cash-out.

Secondary Objective: Keep the kettlebell swings moving. The volume decreases every round, use that as fuel to push the pace a little faster and pick-up cycle rate.

Stimulus: Grip Endurance / High Intensity Triplet
