General Warm-Up

1:30 Cardio Choice

2 x

:30 Jump Rope

10 Goblet Cossack Squats

5/5 Single Arm Dumbbell Press

5 Inchworm Push-Ups

10 Down Dog Toe Touch

Specific Warm-Up

2 x

5/5 Bulgarian Split Squat (light / working weight)

10 Renegade Row @ Warm-Up Loads

Strength: Bulgarian Split Squat + Renegade Rows (10 Rounds for weight)

10:00 EMOM

Minute 1: 5/5 Single Kettlebell Front Rack Bulgarian Split Squat

Minute 2: 12 Renegade Rows
Perform each split squat rep with a controlled 2-second eccentric, a pause at full contraction at the bottom, and a smooth, deliberate concentric back to the top. Select loads and tension that allow for a consistent, unbroken tempo across all five sets of each movement. We are combining two unilateral stability movements that heavily focus on anti-rotation work to challenge midline control and improve durability around the trunk. These are not load-chasing sets; mechanics and position are the entire point.

Modifications:

Level 1: 10:00 EMOM, Minute 1: 5/5 Bulgarian Split Squat (bodyweight or light load, no front rack), Minute 2: 8 Renegade Rows at a lighter load with a wider base for stability

Warm-Up Flow (No Measure)

General Warm-Up

2-3 x

1:00 Cardio Choice

8 Walking Inchworm to Hollow

8/8 Dual Kettlebell Staggered Stance Romanian Deadlift

8 Russian Kettlebell Swings

12 Alternating Ice Skater Hops

Specific Warm-Up

5 Empty Barbell Sumo Deadlift

3 Sumo Deadlift @ light loads

3 Sumo Deadlift @ moderate loads

3 Sumo Deadlift @ 5-10% below working weight

Sumo Deadlift (Every 3:00 x 5 Sets
5 Sumo Deadlifts)

Load is the same across all five sets. Athletes should select a weight they are confident they can execute with quality mechanics for every rep of every set, targeting 5-20lb (2.5-10kg) over our original testing max. This is not a build-to-heavy structure; it is a consistency and positional endurance test that accumulates over the cycle. The sumo deadlift has not been a focus in our recent programming, and it is a valuable tool for athletes looking to engage the hips more aggressively, emphasize glute drive, and operate in a slightly more upright torso position than a conventional pull.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets, 5 Sumo Deadlifts at a light-to-moderate load that allows full positional control; prioritize stance mechanics, hip hinge, and a clean lockout over adding weight

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets, 8 Dual Dumbbell Sumo Romanian Deadlifts or Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts, building to a moderate working load across the sets

Primer (No Measure)

2 Sets:

8/6 Cals (building effort)

8 American Kettlebell Swings at working load

5 Box Jumps at working height

25/25ft single Arm Overhead Carry at working load

Use this to confirm Bike output, kettlebell load, box height, and overhead carry mechanics before "Bases Loaded" begins.

"Bases Loaded" (AMRAP - Rounds)

16:00 EMOM

Minute 1: 10/8 Cal Bike 14/12 Cal Row or Ski

Minute 2: 16 American KB Swings

Minute 3: 16 Box Jumps

Minute 4: 50/50ft (15/15m) Single Arm Overhead Carry

Kettlebell: (Rx53/35, S 44/26) (Same load for KBS and OH Carry)

Box: (Rx24/20, S 20/16″)
Score = Successful Rounds Completed

Goals: Complete All 4 Rounds (16 Minutes) Successfully

Stimulus: Posterior Chain / Stability and Control

RPE: 7/10

Primary Objective: Complete every minute with quality positions and full range of motion, not racing the clock.

Secondary Objective: Maintain a consistent, repeatable pace on the Echo Bike across all four rounds without spiking effort early.

Bench Press (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Start at 70% and build to a heavy set of five for the day across the five sets. This is not a true 5RM attempt, but athletes should arrive at the final set having pushed to something that represents a genuine heavy five, not a comfortable one.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 5 Sets, 5 Bench Press at a moderate, technically consistent load building to a strong but not maximal effort; prioritize full range of motion and a braced midline over adding load

Power Clean + 3 Split Jerks (1st Rep Pause in Dip, 2nd Rep Pause in Catch, 3rd Rep @ speed and tempo)

Clean and Jerk (Take 15:00 to Establish a 1RM Clean and Jerk)

This is the culmination of the clean and jerk cycle. The goal here is a clean, technical lift at the absolute top end of capacity, not a grind. Every attempt should look snappy and confident, with tension and quality positions from the floor through the catch. Athletes should build methodically and arrive at their top attempts with one or two lifts left in the tank, not chasing a number that requires a compromised position to hit. If the lift does not look like something worth counting, the load is too heavy. Keep attempts crisp, keep the bar moving efficiently, and trust the work that has been put in over this cycle.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets: 3 Hang Power Cleans + Split Jerk, working on building form and capacity here rather than chasing loads.

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets: 5/5 Single Arm Dumbbell Hang Clean and Split Jerks. This is good practice to work on development of precision and odd movement patterns keeping the movement of the foot and arm pressing overhead in a contralateral position.
