Warm-Up

General Warm-Up

2:00 Cardio Choice

-

2 x

10m/10m Lateral Band Walk

10m/10m Monster Walk (Forward / Back)

10/10 Side Lying Banded Clam Shells

10 Banded Glute Bridges

10 Alt Banded Psoas March (Supine)

10 Sumo Stance Good Mornings

Specific Prep

3-4 x

3 Inchworm to Hollow (3 Sec Pause at Extended Prone Hollow)

5 Sumo Deadlifts @ Starting light, building to working weights

8 Russian Kettlebell Swings @ Warm-Up Loads

5 Box Jumps @ Warm-Up Loads

Strength: Sumo Deadlift + Strict Press (6 Rounds for weight)

Every 2:00 x 6 Sets, Alternating Stations

Station 1: Sumo Deadlift

4 Reps @ 95% of 5x5 Sumo Deadlift Test

Rest 20-25 sec

3 Reps @ 100% of 5x5 Sumo Deadlift Test

Rest 20-25 sec

2 Reps @ 105% of 5x5 Sumo Deadlift Test

Station 2: Strict Press

8 Reps, Building to a Max

Starting at 100% of 3x10 Strict Press Test
-The sumo deadlift cluster sets are heavy and build by design. Athletes should approach the 2s with a full reset between reps, treating each pull as a deliberate, heavy effort. Not touch-and-go; every rep starts from a dead stop with full tension established at the floor.

-On the strict press, the starting load reflects the 3x10 test max, so each set should feel challenging from the first minute. Build meaningfully across the six working sets and let athletes hit a true daily max by the final set.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 6 Sets alternating; Station 1: 6 Sumo Deadlifts at 7/10 RPE; Station 2: 8 Strict Press @ 7/10 RPE

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 2:00 x 6 Sets alternating; Station 1: 8 Single Leg Romanian Dumbbell Deadlift per side at a challenging dumbbell load; Station 2: 8 Dumbbell Strict Press, building to a heavy 8 for the day.

Primer   (No Measure)

2 Sets:

1 Partial Wall Walk + 1 Full Wall Walk

10 Russian Kettlebell Swings @ Working Weight

5 Box Jumps @ Working Weight

Use this to confirm kettlebell load, box height, and movement quality before "Source Code" begins.

"Source Code" (AMRAP - Rounds)

12:00 EMOM

Minute 1: 4 Wall Walks

Minute 2: 16 Russian Kettlebell Swings

Minute 3: 8 Box Jumps

Score = Rounds Completed (4 complete rounds possible)

Wall Walk: 10-in From Wall

Kettlebell: (Rx70/53, S 53/44)

Box: (Rx30/24, S 24/20″)
Goals: Complete each movement in the minute with quality, approximately :35-:45 of work per minute

Stimulus: Strength EMOM

RPE: 6/10

Primary Objective: Move with intention and quality on every rep, treating each minute as its own isolated effort rather than chasing pace or rushing transitions.

Secondary Objective: Maintain strong hip extension on the Russian swing and a clean, controlled landing on every box jump across all four rounds.

Workout Strategy

"Source Code" is a strength-biased EMOM with low volume per station, and the goal is to execute each minute with composure and precision rather than race the clock. The wall walks set the tone each round; move deliberately, stay tight on the way up the wall and controlled on the way down, and use the remaining time in the minute to breathe and reset before the kettlebell. On the Russian swings, the load is intentionally heavy for this format, so drive hard through the hips on every rep, keep the bell at chest height, and let the glutes and hamstrings do the work. On the box jumps, take a full breath before each jump, extend the hips completely at the top.

Modifications / Adjustments

Wall Walks: Reduce to 3 reps / Inchworm to Push-Up / Pike Push-Up / Partial Wall Walk (set distance marker 10-12in from wall and reduce range)

Russian Kettlebell Swings: Reduce load before reducing reps

Box Jumps: Reduce box height / Step-Ups / Broad Jumps

Accessories (Checkmark)

For Quality:

4 Sets:

8-10 Glute Ham Raises

Then build to 75% (Starting Loads)

Snatch (Every 2:00 x 5 Sets

1 Power Snatch + 2 Squat Snatches

 )

-Build from 75% of 1RM Snatch to a heavy single complex for the day. Reps are not touch-and-go; athletes reset fully between each rep of the complex.

-Focus on the leg drive on each and every rep, as well as a quality turnover and strong receiving position.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 5 Sets, 3 Hang Power Snatch + 3 Overhead Squats at a moderate, consistent load between 60-70%

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 2:00 x 5 Sets, 8-10 Alt Dumbbell Snatch

Primer  

Adjust to working loads on the barbell, then build to working intensity with the following.

:40 Row @ 8/10 RPE

8 Overhead Squats

:30 Row @ 8.5/10 RPE

6 Overhead Squats

:20 Row @ 9/10 RPE

Use this to confirm barbell load and row pacing before "Collateral" begins.

"Collateral" (3 Rounds for reps)

12:00 EMOM

Minute 1: Max Calorie Row Bike or Ski

Minute 2: Rest

Minute 3: Max Overhead Squats

Minute 4: Rest

Score = Total Reps (Calories + Overhead Squat Reps)

Barbell: 95/65lb (43/30kg)
Goals: Row: 20/16+ Cals Row or Ski, 14/12+ Cals Bike per Minute, OHS: 20+ Reps per Minute

Stimulus: Glycolytic / VO2 Max

RPE: 9.5/10

Primary Objective: Go near-maximal on every work minute across all three rounds of each station, trusting the built-in rest to allow full recovery before the next effort.

Secondary Objective: Consistency across sets.

Workout Strategy

"Collateral" is a short, high-intensity interval couplet designed to be uncomfortable on every single work minute. The row minute should be a near-maximal sprint from the moment the clock ticks over; drive hard through the legs, connect the body swing, and finish clean through the handle. On the overhead squat minutes, the barbell is light enough to cycle quickly, but the the legs and lungs will feel it. Lock in, keep the chest up, and breathe at the top of each rep. Athletes who let the torso collapse forward or the elbows soften under fatigue will lose reps and risk position. In round three of each station, push harder than round two, not easier. That is where the score is made.

Modifications / Adjustments

Overhead Squat: Reduce load before modifying the movement / Front Squat / Goblet Squat / Overhead Lunges

Row: Bike (any format) / Ski Erg / Max Shuttle Runs

Slow Pull Power Clean + Power Clean

Power Clean (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Athletes should be adding load deliberately, not chasing a number at the expense of position. The catch must be locked in and athletic at every percentage. If the pull starts breaking down, hold the load or take a smaller jump rather than grinding through poor mechanics.

Other Adjustments:

10:00 EMOM

3 Power Cleans @ 70%

For athletes not looking to max out today; consistent, clean reps at a fixed moderate percentage across all ten minutes.

Modifications:

Level 1: 10:00 EMOM, 3 Hang Power Cleans at 6-8 RPE. Moderate, consistent loading across all ten minutes with a focus on mechanics and a strong catch position.

Hotel Gym / Travel: 10:00 EMOM, 5 Dual Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans, building to a challenging but controlled load that maintains vertical pull and a solid receiving position.

Sumo Deadlift (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

The high box jump is programmed as a superset to drive neural activation and recruitment.

Modifications:

Level 1: 5 Sumo Deadlifts across at 7/10 RPE, then 5 Box Jumps or Squat Jumps. Trap Bar Deadlifts or Traditional Deadlifts can be substituted anytime the sumo stance position is creating a mechanical issue.

Hotel Gym / Travel: 5 Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts at a heavy but controlled load, paired with 3 broad jumps or standing vertical jumps for the explosive component.
