A: Metcon (Time)

3 Rounds
400 Meter Run

24 wall ball GHD Sit-Ups w/ feet anchored

12 Clean and Jerks (R+135/95, Rx 115/75)

Another sweet spot for high intensity! 12-18 mins.

Movement Functions: Run, sit-up, pull from the ground and press overhead.

Seemingly different movements, but be careful, as all three movements require a lot of hip flexion and extension, while stabilizing the trunk. Ouch!

Run = ~1:45-2:15 // GHD Sit-Ups = 1:00-2:00 // C&J = 1:00-2:00

1 Round = ~4:00-5:00 (if we are at 6:00 for the first round, we are missing the mark on the intention).

Loading: Moderate – this tells us we could go unbroken for the 12 C&J, but will likely break into 2-4 sets.

Wall Ball GHD Sit-Up: 72 reps. Done fast, these will leave a mark. If we haven’t been on the wall ball GHD for a while, scale back to somewhere between 10-20 reps and/or reduce the range of motion to parallel

MODIFICATIONS/SCALING OPTIONS

400m Run (approximately 1:45-2:15)

Reduce Distance = 300m / 200m

Modify the Movement = 1000/800m Bike 500m Row (as a last resort)

wall ball GHD Sit-Up

Reduce Reps = 20, 15, 12 – be cautious and err on less reps as athletes are reintroduced to this potent movement

Reduce Range of Motion = Parallel or 1/4 Range (slight lean back)

Substitute the Movement = Overhead Medball Abmat Sit-Up (a fine choice)

Clean & Jerk

Reduce Load = 115/80; 95/65; 75/55; 65/45; 45/35

Modify the Movement = Hang Clean & Push Press or Jerk

B: Metcon (No Measure)

3 Rounds
10 Eccentric SL Barbell Hip Thrust off Bench (5 each leg)

15 Banded Hollow Body Pull-Downs (light band)

A: Metcon (Time)

20 Power Snatches (R+95/65, Rx 75/55)

20 Lateral Barbell Burpees

20 Overhead Squats

20 Lateral Barbell Burpees

20 Squat Snatches

This one is a lung-burner! Light loading tells us that we can go for big sets, only breaking due to fatigue and not because the bar is too heavy. Think light and nasty!

Time Ranges: 8-12

15min Time Cap

Aim to complete each movement ~2:00 or under. This is a guide, not a hard rule.

No movement should exceed 3:00. If so, the athlete’s weight may be too heavy or burpee reps were not scaled appropriately.

Loading on the barbell should allow for approximately 2-4 sets. Remember the loading should feel light.

Lateral Burpee Over the Bar doesn’t require full hip extension at the top, therefore it’s possible to move a little faster by staying low in the jump over.

Fast workout! (Even though it may not feel like it.

Reminder: Quality Movement is a non-negotiable!

This is a fast workout and should be scaled to achieve that effect – lung burner!

A: Metcon (Time)

5 Rounds
12 Box Jump Overs (R+30/24,Rx24/20″)

9 Power Snatches (R+115/75, Rx 95/65)

6 Bar Muscle-ups

This 5-round triplet workout includes 3 stations that all involve moving the body or barbell through a big range of motion

While the reps aren’t that high, the distance we have to move is, which contributes a lot to our intensity

We expect this workout to take around 15-25 minutes to complete

POWER SNATCHES

This should be a moderate weight that can be completed in small sets or singles

BAR MUSCLE-UPS

Let choose a rep number or variation that can be complete in around 1 minute

Athletes who don’t have an interest in completing bar muscle-ups can work through one of these options:

18 Pull-ups

12 Chest to Bar Pull-ups

6 Burpee Pull-ups

Athletes who do have an interest, but don’t yet have the capacity for 6 reps can work through one of these options:

Reduce Reps

Banded Bar Muscle-ups

Jumping Bar Muscle-ups (Off Box)

BOX JUMP OVERS

Aim for a slightly higher box that you’re accustomed to

There is no need to stand to full extension on top of the box

We recommend stepping down or jumping down instead of the riskier rebounding option

MODIFICATIONS

POWER SNATCHES

18 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches (Heavier Weight)

BAR MUSCLE-UPS

A: Metcon (No Measure)

3 Rounds Not For Time
5 Strict Handstand Push-Ups

5 Strict Ring Dips

5 Push-Ups

work on techniques in each movement with a 10min time cap

B: Metcon (Time)

50 AbMat Sit-ups

250 Meter Run

50 AbMat Sit-ups

400 Meter Run

50 AbMat Sit-ups

800 Meter Run

50 AbMat Sit-ups

1 Mile Run

This simple, but effective workout includes just two movements: AbMat sit-ups and running

The low complexity means that we can focus on intensity over skill

As the core fatigue from the AbMat sit-ups would begin to accumulate, the distance on the run increases

This means that athletes will have more time for the midline to "recover", which allows them to effectively keep moving forward as the reps add up

We expect this workout to take around 20-30 minutes to complete
