Warm-Up

General Warm-Up

2 Sets

10 Banded Passthroughs

15 Banded Pull-Aparts

5/5 Single Arm Kettlebell Strict Press

5/5 Kettlebell Windmill

:15 Hollow Hold

10 Alternating V-Ups

Specific Barbell Prep

10 Bradford Press w/Lockout @ Empty Barbell

5 Strict Press @ light loads w/1sec Pause in Overhead

2 x 3 Strict Press @ moderate load and / or test load

Shoulder Press (Strength: 3 x 10 Strict Press Test
Every 3:00 x 3 Sets
10 Strict Press
)

This is a re-test of the 3x10 strict press from Week 1. The goal is a modest 5-10lb (2.5-5kg) increase across the board. A PR is a PR on strict pressing, and small improvements here are the expected and celebrated outcome. Athletes should start at a load they are confident completing all 10 reps with strict mechanics: no knee bend, no soft legs, vertical bar path, rib cage down, glutes engaged. If an athlete did not complete Week 1, have them build to a challenging but manageable 3x10 and log it as their baseline. The 3:00 window gives enough time to load, execute, and breathe fully before the next set.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 3 Sets, 10 Strict Press at a moderate, consistent load around 6-7/10 RPE; prioritize position over loading and record the load for future re-testing

"Be Nice" (Time)

For Time

American KB Swings

Rest :45 between sets

Time Cap: 16:00

Score = Time

Dumbbells: 2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)

Kettlebell: (Rx53/35, S 44/26)
Goals: 11:00-15:00

Stimulus: Upper Body Density / Grip Endurance

RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Big sets from the start and hang on, especially on toes-to-bar and kettlebell swings where grip accumulates fastest.

Secondary Objective: Maintain consistent pacing and quick transitions between movements across all four sets, using the :45 rest to recover hands, not to recover from poor pacing choices.

10 Alternating Scorpions

:20 Down Dog + Up Dog

10 Alternating Down Dog Toe Touches

:15/:15 Banded Front Rack Stretch

2 Sets

8 Dual Dumbbell Box Step-Ups (Light / Warm-Up Loads)

8 Box Jumps (Priming the Legs for Front Squats)

8 Scapular Pull-Ups

8 Ring Rows

Specific Prep

:20 Behind the Neck Elbow Punch Throughs

8 Empty Barbell Front Squats

4 Front Squats @ 40-50%

3 Front Squats @ 50-60%

2 Front Squats @ 60-70%

-

Then put working loads on barbell or take one more set of 2 to get there if the jump is too big.

Front Squat (Every 3:00 x 5 Sets
5 Front Squats)

This is a re-test from Week 1, and the goal is to move 5-20lb more than the Week 1 number at the same load across all five sets. As an example, if an athlete completed Week 1 at 200lb (92kg) across, the target this time is 205-220lb (93-100kg) across. It may look like a small jump, but accumulated over five sets it represents a meaningful shift in positional endurance and strength. This is not a build-to-heavy structure.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets, 5 Front Squats at a consistent, moderate load; prioritize rack position and squat depth over adding weight from Week 1

"Bodhisattva" (AMRAP - Rounds & Reps)

For Rounds + Reps

12:00 AMRAP

Box: (Rx24/20, S 20/16″)

Dumbbell: (Rx50/35, S 40/25)
Goals: 4-5 Rounds

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Leg Stamina + Pulling

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Consistent pacing across all rounds with smooth, immediate transitions between movements.

Secondary Objective: Maintain a pace at under 3:00 per round from start to finish, not just the first two rounds.
