Specific Prep

3 Sets: Building to Working Loads

4 Sumo Deadlifts

4 Renegade Rows

"The Departed" (2 Rounds for weight)

20:00 EMOM

Minute 1: 5 Sumo Deadlifts

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.

Body Heat and Activation

2 Sets

10 Bend and Bows

10 Bootstrap Squats

10 Bird Dog From Crawling

6 Inchworm Push-Ups

10 Down Dog Toe Touches

Rowing Golf

- Row to 1000m with a partner, alternating every 100m

- The goal is to roll into 100m directly on the dot so that you hit 100m - 200m - 300m not being over or under.

- If you stop rowing and let it roll to 100m, but it goes over to 102m or under to 98m, both partners must complete 2 burpees prior to switching partners and having the next partner row to the next 100m mark. This will be done until 1000m for time.

Specific Prep

2 Sets

6 Synchro Abmat Sit-Ups

6 Synchro Dumbbell Snatch

2 Wall Walks (Each)

*Goal here is to get used to working together, prime the system a bit and build to working loads on the dumbbell snatch

"A Few Good Partners" (Time)

With a Partner, For Time

120/90 Cal Row or Ski (Split) 95/75 Cal Bike

1000m Run (Together)

80 Synchro Abmat Sit-Ups (Together)

60 Burpees (Split)

40 Synchro Alternating Dumbbell Snatch (Together)

20 Wall Walks (Split)

Dumbbell: (Rx50/35, S 40/25)

Wall Walk to 10in
Goal: 25-30 minutes

Time Cap: 40 minutes

Stimulus: This workout develops aerobic endurance, midline control, and teamwork efficiency. It blends synchronized and split efforts, requiring steady pacing and communication. The row and run build shared aerobic output, while the sit-ups, snatches, and wall walks challenge coordination and body control under fatigue.

RPE: 7–8/10 — Sustained effort that never fully redlines. Both partners should stay moving and trade off just before form or rhythm breaks down.

Primary Objective: Work on having good communication and splitting the work in a way that allows for the most consistent movement and limited rest time.

Secondary Objective: Fast transitions between movements and partner switches

Optional Core Burnout (Checkmark)

With a Partner:

3 Rounds (Alternate Work for 3 Rounds Each)

Partner 1: 15 Weighted Russian Twists

Partner 2: Plank Hold

Then switch
