WARM-UP

General + Specific Warm-Up

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

2 Sets at working pace:

10/8 Calorie Row

Every 5:00 x 3 Sets:

25 Strict Press

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.

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.
