General Warm-Up
2 x
1:00 Row
10 Banded Pass Throughs
15 Banded Pull Aparts
5 (Inchworm + 2 Push-Ups + 4 Mountain Climbers)
10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
Specific Prep
3 Sets, Building to Working Loads
5 Bench Press
5 Bent Over Barbell Rows
Strength (2 Rounds for weight)
10:00 EMOM
Minute 1: 8 Bench Press
Minute 2: 8 Bent Over Barbell Row
Bench Press working at 65-70% of 1RM. Set the scapulae before each set, keep the bar path consistent, and control the descent. This is a density block, not a max effort; the load should feel challenging but allow for unbroken sets and a strong position from rep one through rep eight on both movements. Bent over barbell row is suggested at 135/95lb (61/43kg); athletes should select a load that allows for a consistent torso angle and a strong lat finish on every rep without the lower back rounding or the hips rising.
Modifications:
Level 1: Reduce bench press percentage to 60% or work to a comfortable load that allows for quality mechanics; use dual dumbbell bent over row or chest supported rows if barbell positioning is a limiting factor.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell bench press for the pressing minute and dual dumbbell or single arm bent over row for the pulling minute, building across sets to the heaviest load that maintains quality positioning.

2 x Squat Clean + Split Jerk
Squat Clean and Jerk (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Starting at 75% of 1RM Clean and Jerk and building across all four sets to a heavy triple for the day. Athletes may drop the bar between reps for a quick reset before the next squat clean. This is a traditional heavy triple, not touch-and-go; the priority is a strong, consistent position on every rep, not speed through the set. The jerk should be a committed drive and split, not a press-out. Build with intention and arrive at a true heavy triple by the final set.
Modifications:
Level 1: Work from the hang position if pulling from the floor creates positional breakdown; reduce starting percentage to 65-70% and build to a moderate-heavy triple that maintains quality across all four sets.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell squat clean and press, 4 sets of 3, building to the heaviest load that allows a strong catch and locked-out overhead position.

Sumo Deadlift (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Starting at 90% of the 5x5 Sumo Deadlift Test from two weeks ago and increasing load each set, with the goal of reaching 110-115% of that test load by the final 3-rep set. The priority throughout is maintaining quality positions and posture at every load. Stay tight through the lats, break the bar off the floor with control, and drive the floor away by pushing through the hips and glutes. Every rep should look the same whether it is set one or set five. If you dont have a 5x5 test it would be 85%ish of 1RM.
Modifications:
Level 1: Reduce starting load to 80% of the 5x5 test and focus on positional quality over load; if no test exists, work to a moderate load that allows for a strong, consistent position across all five sets.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell sumo deadlift, 5-5-4-4-3 wave loading with the heaviest dumbbells available, prioritize hip hinge mechanics and controlled tempo.
