We have a longer grinder today!
20:00 of work – no less, no more.
We will aim to be somewhere between 8:00-9:00 rounds.
The challenge will be to complete 2 full rounds, then collect as many reps as you can until the 20:00 cap.
Scoring will be the number of rounds and repetitions completed in 20:00. The run will count as 1 rep.
OVERHEAD SQUAT
Typically a lighter load, but for 30 repetitions a round, it will feel a lot heavier.
Athletes, please pick a load that can be broken in 2-3 sets max. If you have to break into 4 sets, it’s likely too heavy for the volume today.
TOES-TO-BAR
The question is "how many repetitions can we complete in under :90?" We recommend that be the number to do for today. Perhaps be less concerned about how many sets, as some may choose to do very small sets, but manage to complete all 30 reps under :90.
PISTOL SQUATS
A simple movement on paper, but not easy to perform.
To do all 30 pistols today, an athlete must be able to complete all reps in under :90
800M RUN
We can shoot for 4:00 or under, but as today is an AMRAP, if your athletes are closer to the 4:30 mark, perhaps let them grind it out. This may require decreasing repetitions in other movements to keep the rounds moving.

A sneaky one! Lots of rounds, but quick rounds.
This is a 10:00-15:00 workout.
Each round is designed to be completed in ~:1:00 and NOT exceed :90 when fatigued.
The challenge will be to hold sub 1:00 rounds for TEN rounds.
Yep, those Ring Dips are going to come back fast! It’s a very "Chief"-esq kind of workout. Sneaky little sucker!
The score for this workout is the time it takes to complete all 10 rounds.
POWER CLEAN
Moderate-light loading for 3 reps. Completed in ~:15
The load selection should allow for unbroken repetitions every round with quality movement.
RING DIPS
Welcome back old friend!
We recommend being judicious on how we approach the Ring Dip. Yes, it’s a low number per round (only 6), but coupled with unfamiliarity and speed, they could create some issues for our athletes in later days. It is 60 Ring Dips total.
To do 6 repetitions every round, an athlete should have a strong set of 10 strict rings dips. If not, they may get caught spending too much time here. Suggest they scale to a number that can be performed unbroken for the majority of the 10 rounds, but if they do break it up they can still complete all reps in ~:20
If we are limited on rings per athlete, we can substitute for a deficit push-up or regular push-up. We are looking to recreate a deeper press.
KETTLEBELL SWINGS
American style swings – finish overhead
Light and completed in under :30 – no breaks for this movement.

MODIFICATIONS
DOUBLE-UNDERS
Decrease the reps / Attempts within :45 /Single Unders x 50
POWER SNATCH
Decrease the load – think 5 pretty reps in a row – that’s the right loading.
Hang Power Snatch
Injuries/Limitations – Use a DB/KB
Snatch Pulls
Three 5-min AMRAP’s with a "long" 5-min rest. Just enough recovery to bring the fire for the next AMRAP! We can push the threshold here.
As we tackle each AMRAP, the load decreases and the repetitions go up. It will get very grippy.
After the row, we are looking at ~3:00 of Double-Under/Snatch work
Each round of the DU/PS round is designed to take about ~1:00. Have your athletes consider this when selecting the load. The loading descends from moderate to very light.
