"Wings" (Checkmark)

Every 5:00 x 3 Sets

6 Strict Pull-Ups

12 Ring Rows

24 Dual Dumbbell Hammer Curls
- For the Strict Pull-Ups, we are looking for a challenging set. We can create challenge by adding loads to the pull-ups or moving to strict chest to bar. For scaling purposes, add band tension that allows 6 challenging reps with controlled strict form.

Other modifications today would be to move to a challenging toenail spot variation .

- For the Ring Row, lets look to create an angle that is both challenging, yet sustainable for 12 unbroken reps.

- Dumbbell Hammer Curls: Light Loads that can be done as 24 unbroken. We can sub out Banded Curls if needed and have a great 24 rep bicep burnout set here at the end of each set

Level 2,1,Masters, Comp: As prescribed. Look at adjustments for pull-ups that make the most since for 6 strict reps (unbroken)

Travel: Sub Inverted Rows or Dumbbell Bent Over Rows for Ring Rows

Goal: Complete all reps with strict control and no form degradation

Stimulus: Vertical pulling strength, horizontal pulling stamina, and upper-arm hypertrophy

RPE: 5-6/10, just a pump!

1:30 - 1:00 - :30 Row (increasing intensity)

8 Romanian Deadlifts

6 Tall Muscle Cleans

20 second Behind the Neck Elbow Punch Throughs (Front Rack Mobility)

8 Quarter Squat Reactive Jumps

*The goal here will be to target the 1:00 Row @ Goal Pace for the Day and the :30 second Row at faster than goal pace

Coaches Notes: This would also be a great day to go over Rowing Technique and Drills as part of the Warm-Up

Specific Barbell Prep

2-3 Sets

Slow Clean Pull

Low Hang Power Clean (Pause @ Low Hang for 1-2 sec)

Power Clean (Not TnG)

-

"Under Pressure" (5 Rounds for time)

For Time:

Every 4:30 x 5 Sets

18/14 Cal Row or Ski or 13/10 Cal Bike

Power Clean (all reps as singles)

Loading:

Set 1: 10 reps @ 60%

Set 2: 6 reps @ 70%

Set 3: 4 reps @ 80%

Set 4: 2 reps @ 90%

Set 5: 12 reps @ 50%

% Based on 1RM Power Clean
Score = Total Working Time

Goal: Row in 1:30 / Sets Sub 3:30

Score: Sum Total Interval Time

RPE: 8/10

These are all meant to be done as mostly quick singles today. Keep the row at an RPE 8 pace so we create some aerobic and lower body fatigue, but can still lift confidently here. The singles at 90% will be demanding and require a high level of focus today. The last set is a burner to finish this, push the pace a bit more and plan to stay on top of the bar.

Stimulus: Aerobic fatigue into heavy barbell exposure with a high-output finisher / drop set style barbell work

RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Execute technically sound singles at all loads, especially the 90% set

Secondary Objective: Maintain a consistent row pace without compromising barbell focus

Optional Accessories (Checkmark)
