10 Hollow Rocks + 10 second Hollow Hold

5/5 Single Leg Single Arm Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift

6 Minutes Form and Practice

Sumo Deadlift, Close Grip Bench and Renegade Rows

-

Specific Prep

3 Sets: Building to Working Loads

4 Sumo Deadlifts

4 Close Grip Bench Press

4 Renegade Rows

"The Departed" (2 Rounds for weight)

20:00 EMOM

Minute 1: 5 Sumo Deadlifts

Minute 2: 10 Close Grip Bench Press

Minute 4: Rest

Sumo Deadlift @ 70%

Close Grip Bench Press @ 60%

Dumbbells: 2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)
Score = Record Load of Sumo DL & Close Grip Bench Press / Completion

Goal: The aim is to maintain clean, technical execution of all lifts across all rounds, using the rest minute to recover just enough to preserve form and intensity.

Stimulus: Posterior chain recruitment and pressing endurance under controlled fatigue. The EMOM structure builds total-body strength density and postural integrity while forcing composure and breathing control between stations.

RPE: 6-7/10 Moderate to hard effort. Weight should feel heavy enough to demand focus but allow completion of all reps with perfect form throughout.

Primary Objective: Build structural balance between posterior and anterior chain. Reinforce proper hip engagement and core bracing under moderate fatigue.

Secondary Objective: Improve horizontal pressing strength and triceps endurance. Develop scapular stability and midline integrity during unilateral pulling.
