2 Sets:

15/12 Calorie Row

5/5 Kettlebell Halo

5/5 Single Arm Kettlebell Strict Press

5/5 Kettlebell Windmill

5/5 Single Arm Kettlebell Front Squat

:20 Wall Supported Handstand Hold

Specific Barbell Prep:

8 Barbell Bradford Presses w/lockout (1 sec pause OH on each rep / 10 sec on final rep)

Add Loads:

8 Reps @ light load, focusing on compressing of belly button to sternum, and strong lockout.

Shoulder Press (In 10:00 Minutes:
Build to a 1RM Strict Press)

Athletes should move through deliberate warm-up sets and arrive at their first true heavy attempt by the 5-6 minute mark, leaving time for two to three max efforts. Every rep demands a full-body brace, active glutes, and a complete lockout overhead with biceps covering the ears. There is no leg drive in this piece, the bar moves from shoulder to lockout on pressing strength alone.

Modifications:

Level 1: E2MOM x 5: 3-5 Dual Dumbbell Strict Press, building to a challenging load across all five sets with the same lockout standard

Hotel Gym / Travel: E2MOM x 5: 3-5/Arm Single Arm Dumbbell Strict Press or 3-5/Arm Landmine Press, building in load with emphasis on midline stability and full overhead extension

Specific Workout Primer

2 Sets at working pace:

10/8 Calorie Row

5 Strict Press @ conditioning load

50 Air Squats

Time Cap: 5:00 per Set

Score = Sum Total Time

Barbell: (Rx 75/55, S 65/45)
Goals: 3:15-3:45 per Set

Workout Strategy

"Stratofortress" is a stamina test that punishes athletes who go out too hot on the row and rewards those who arrive at the barbell with pressing capacity still available. Row at a pace that feels strong and sustainable, athletes should step off the machine breathing hard but not gasping. The 25 Strict Press reps at this load should be manageable for most athletes. Unbroken Sets or sets of 15-10 or 10-8-7 with short 3-5 second rest windows between sets is the right approach. Do not chase unbroken reps in set one if it means the form will falter and true failure will hit in sets two and three. The 50 Air Squats are controlled and we should focus to breathe, while still moving with intention and speed to finish each set. The built-in rest between intervals is meaningful. Use it to bring the heart rate down, control the breathing, and walk back to the rower with a clear plan. Consistent splits across all three sets is the goal.

Time Cap: 30:00

Score = Time

Kettlebell: (Rx53/35, S 44/26)

Wall Walk: 10-in from wall
Goals: Complete each round in 6:30--9:00 and maintain sets of 5 or more on all pull-up blocks throughout

Workout Strategy

"Apache" rewards communication and smart partitioning far more than just muscular endurance. Before the clock starts, partners should agree on a splitting strategy, 10 and 10, or 5 and 5 cycling, are both solid approaches on pull-ups depending on capacity. The non-negotiable is that one partner is always moving: the moment both athletes are at rest, the clock is winning. On the pull-ups, expect the forearm pump to compound quickly as the workout progresses. The combination of swings and wall walks between each block never lets the hands fully recover, and athletes who go too big early will be grinding singles by the back half of round two. Kettlebell swings should be completed in big sets with a full overhead lockout at the top of every rep. Keep burpees moving at a steady rhythm that doesn't spike the heart rate before the next pull-up block. Wall walks work best in quick sets of 2, keeping the movement cyclical and the partner turnover smooth. Aim for consistent round splits. If round one takes 7 minutes, rounds two and three should be within 30 to 60 seconds of that. Athletes who go out in 5:30 and blow up in round three will lose far more time than those who pace and hold quality across all three.

Power Clean (Every 2:00 x 5 Sets:
2 x (Clean Grip Deadlift + Low Hang Power Clean)
*Rest 10 seconds between reps within each set)

Start at 70% of 1RM Clean and build to a heavy for the day across all five sets. The Clean Grip Deadlift is a controlled, deliberate pull from mid-shin that builds tension and sets bar path. The Low Hang Power Clean should fire from a strong hip position with a fast turnover into the front rack. The goal on every catch is aggressive footwork that mirrors a squat clean receive (elbows up, chest tall, and confidence in the stand).

Modifications:

Level 1: 2-4 Hang Power Cleans at moderate loads, working on front rack turnover and receiving position rather than building to a heavy load

Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell Hang Power Clean: Every 2:00 x 5 Sets complete 5-8 Dual Dumbbell Low Hang Power Cleans, For Load.

Goals: 2+ Rounds (36 Reps) Per Set

Workout Strategy

"Blackbird" is a cyclical triplet that rewards athletes who find and protect their rhythm from the first interval. The Power Cleans are meant to be quick singles or even some touch-and-go sets from the start. The Single Dumbbell Deficit Push-Ups are the horizontal pressing challenge in the triplet and should be completed unbroken for all four sets. If an athlete cannot hold unbroken sets, reduce the dumbbell height or come off the deficit before scaling the rep count. The Single Dumbbell Box Step-Overs are where the work is managed, move steady, breathe on the step, and arrive at the barbell ready to hit the next three cleans with intention. The 1:00 rest between sets is meaningful. Use it to reset the hands, take controlled breaths, and lock in the plan for the next interval before the clock starts. Athletes who are consistent across all four sets have done their job today.
