General Warm-Up
2:00 Row
—
2 Sets:
10 Bend and Bows
10 Cossack Squats
:20/:20 Samson Stretch and Lunge
10 Scapular Pull-Ups
5/5 Single Arm Ring Rows
:15 Dead Hang
—
8 Medball Squats
8 Medball Presses
8 Medball Walking Lunges
5 Wall Balls
Specific Prep
Walk through all four hold standards with partners before loading begins:
Ring Row to Chest Hold — body at 45 degrees or closer to parallel
Wall Sit — full 90 degree hip and knee position, no resting on the thighs
Dead Hang — full arm extension, active shoulders
Wall Supported Handstand Hold — locked out arms, tight midline, heels on the wall
Specific Primer
Then 2 x through with a partner
250m Row / Partner holds Ring Row to Chest Position
8 Wall Balls / Partner holds Wall Sit
6 Ring Rows / Partner holds Dead Hang
10 Medball Walking Lunges / Partner holds Wall Supported Handstand Hold
Use this to confirm all four hold standards, establish partner switching rhythm, and lock in medball load and ring row height before the clock starts on "Whale Shark."
"Whale Shark" (Time)
For Time: With Partner
1000m Row
100 Wall Balls
100 Ring Rows
100 Medball Walking Lunges
500m Row
50 Wall Balls
50 Ring Rows
50 Medball Walking Lunges
Medball: (Rx 20/14, S 16/12)
Wall Ball Target: 10/9ft
Ring Row Position: Body Parallel or as close to parallel on the floor directly underneath the bar.
Hold Format: One Partner Works, One Partner Holds:
Row → Non-rowing partner holds Ring Row to Chest (Position is at 45 degree angle to floor or closer to parallel)
Wall Balls → Non-working partner holds Wall Sit
Ring Rows → Non-working partner holds Dead Hang
Medball Walking Lunges → Non-working partner holds Wall Supported Handstand Hold
*The hold must be maintained whenever a rep is in progress. If the hold breaks, the working partner stops until the hold is re-established.
Goal: 24:00 – 30:00 | Time Cap: 35:00
Stimulus: Aerobic Capacity / Muscular Endurance / Partner Conditioning and Holds
RPE: 7-8/10
Primary Objective: Manage the hold mechanic consistently across the full workout. The hold is what drives output, if the hold breaks, the work stops. Communicate early before the hold fails rather than grinding to failure and losing time on a reset.
Secondary Objective: Keep big sets on the movements in order to reduce transition time as the transition to the holds eats a lot of time.

Goal: 7:00 – 11:00 | Time Cap: 12:00
Stimulus: Anaerobic Capacity / Gymnastics and Cyclical Power
RPE: 8.5-9/10
Primary Objective: Toe to Bar efficiency across all three rounds, broken sets early are faster than grip failure late. Plan to break early here in order to preserve quality sets later on in the workout.
Secondary Objective: Sprint the Echo Bike. At 12/9 calories the bike is a :30-:45 effort for most athletes. Treat it as a strong effort with a high output, short duration, and use the transition to the dumbbell to bring your breathing back down.

Stimulus: Aerobic Capacity / Posterior Chain Endurance
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Protect deadlift mechanics across all four barbell sections. The load is moderate, but the volume will build and the running will tax the posterior chain before every set.
Secondary Objective: Run smart on the 1,000m and 800m. The back half of this workout is where the workout is made. Athletes who pace the workout well on the front half will feel ready to finish the workout strong on the back half.

Push Press (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Starting @ 70% on Set 1 (6 Reps), and increasing by feel to around an 8/10 RPE on our 4th Set (3 Reps).

"Hammerhead" (4 Rounds for time)
Every 4:00 x 4 Sets
15 Dual Dumbbell Bench Press
10 Dual Dumbbell Front Squats
5 Wall Walks
Dumbbells: 2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)
Wall Walk: 10in From Wall
Goal: 2:30-3:00 on / 1:00-1:30 off
Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Upper Body Push and Squat Volume
RPE: 7/10
Primary Objective: Maintain consistent set times across all 4 sets. This is a volume day, load is secondary to keeping the work window tight and the mechanics clean on every rep.
Secondary Objective: Protect the wall walk quality late in the workout. Sets 3 and 4 will feel heavier in the shoulders after bench and front squats accumulate. Don't rush the wall walk, a controlled rep is faster than a sloppy one that has to be re-done.
