General Warm-Up
1-2 Sets
1:00 Cardio Choice (Ideally Bike)
5/5 Kettlebell Halo
5/5 Kettlebell Windmill
8/8 Single Leg Kettlebell Romanian Deadlift
4/4 Pendulum Lunges
Specific Barbell Prep / Empty to Light Barbell
8-10 Empty Barbell Bench Press
Then build to working load and complete:
5 Reps @ 50% of 1RM
3 Reps @ 60% of 1RM
2 Reps @ 65% of 1RM
Athletes should arrive at Set 1 feeling warm through the chest and shoulders, confident in their setup, grip, and posterior chain set-up
Specific Primer / After Bench Press
9/7 Calorie Echo Bike
3-5 Box Pike Handstand Push-Ups or 3 Slow Descent HSPU Negatives (:03 descent)

3-5 Strict Handstand Push-Ups or Modification for the Workout
25ft Goblet Walking Lunge @ Working Load
Progress athletes through the HSPU ladder based on their level. Coaches should confirm the scaling tier and depth standard before the clock starts on "Iron Mile."
Bench Press (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Goal: Controlled, quality reps across all three sets with load climbing each set. Set 3 at 80% should feel strong and confident, not a grind. With the 3:00 working window athletes should be set, focused, and ready before each set begins.
Level 1: 9-7-5 keeping all sets @ 6-7 RPE with quality rep focus and some in the tank.
Travel/Hotel: Dual Dumbbell Bench Press or Dual Dumbbell Floor Press for 15-12-9 reps at a challenging and consistent loading across all three sets.
Modifications and Adjustments
- Adjust grip width for athletes dealing with shoulder or wrist discomfort. A slightly narrower grip can reduce stress on the anterior shoulder without compromising the pressing pattern.
- Move to a Floor Press to limit range of motion for athletes dealing with shoulder impingement or discomfort at the bottom of the press.
- Adjust to Single Arm Dumbbell Press for athletes managing a unilateral shoulder limitation, allowing each side to be trained independently.
"Iron Mile" (Time)
For Time:
4 Sets:
16/12 Calorie Echo Bike
10 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
50ft (15m) Goblet Walking Lunge
Rest 1:00 b/t sets
Kettlebell: 53/35lb, 24/16kg
Goal: Each set completed in 2:30–3:15 | Total time under 16:00 with rest
Time Cap: 17:00
RPE: 8–8.5/10
Stimulus: Gymnastics Strength / Aerobic Capacity
Primary Objective: Protect the strict pressing strength across all 4 sets. Handstand push-ups should be unbroken or quick sets of 5+5, or 4+3+3... if athletes are failing reps by set 3, the stimulus is lost.
Secondary Objective: Keep the goblet lunge load honest. This is not a recovery movement and should be a challenging, unbroken 50ft (15m) leaving athletes breathing before the rest window begins.

5 Hang Power Cleans
10 Abmat Sit-Ups
15 Double Unders or 25 Single Unders

Chest to Bar Pull-Ups
Every :30 x 12 Sets
5 Chest to Bar Pull-Ups
Goal: Clean, focused unbroken sets developing technique and rhythm. The focus is mechanics and consistency with light volume accumulation and short technical sets. Each set should feel controlled and repeatable, not maximal.
Level 3 (Strength Variation): 5/4 Strict Pull-Ups
Level 2: 5 Pull-Ups (Kipping or Butterfly)

Masters 55+: 4/3 Strict Pull-Ups
Competitor: 7 Chest to Bar Pull-Ups
Travel/Hotel: 5 Strict Pull-Ups or 7 Ring Rows
Modifications and Adjustments
- Reduce reps before reducing movement standard — protect the quality of each set over chasing the prescribed number.
- Adjust to Ring Rows for athletes who cannot yet support a strict pulling pattern or are managing shoulder discomfort.
- Adjust to Banded Strict Pull-Ups for athletes building pulling strength, keeping the band light enough to still feel challenging on every set.

Goal: 4–5+ rounds (reaching the 40–50 DU round) |
RPE: 8.5–9/10
Stimulus: Barbell Conditioning / Aerobic Capacity
Primary Objective: Manage the barbell across all 13 minutes. Hang power cleans should be quick sets — 2 sets max early, pushing toward unbroken as the DU count grows and rest becomes harder to justify.
Secondary Objective: Stay composed on the rope. The double under ladder is the variable that changes every round — athletes who stay efficient and calm on the rope will keep their transitions tight and protect their barbell cycling.
