15 min. to Build to a HEAVY 5 rep Push Press

AMRAP 12
8 Lateral Burpee Over Dumbbell

12 Single-Arm Dumbbell Clean & Jerk (50/35#)

Let’s take the first half of class to build to a heavy 5 rep Push Press (approx. 15 min.)

The second half will be our workout. Faster rounds than yesterday, but with simpler movements.

Rounds will average ~2:00

We are looking for athletes to aim for 5-7 rounds

Three relatively simple movements, but challenging when combined.

The Lateral Burpee Over DB and DB Box Step-Over are quite similar in terms of hip function. This constant flexion of the hip will create havoc on the spine. This is a hot spot to watch for.

LATERAL BURPEE OVER THE DUMBBELL

Two-feet leave the ground at the same time.

DUMBBELL BOX STEP-OVER

Performed with one dumbbell supported in any appropriate style (i.e., by the side; on the shoulder; in the front rack with both hands, etc.)

Although only 10 reps, with the fast turnover it will get grippy quick. Consider having your athletes take deliberate :5 breaks.

SINGLE-ARM CLEAN & JERK

One dumbbell – ground to shoulder to overhead

Perform 6 reps on the right side and 6 reps on the left side. Athletes can manage the reps however they like, as long as 6 are performed on each side every round.

Coming off the DB Box Step-Over, grip may become a factor. Consider having your athletes use a hook grip and/or flash open the fingers (loosen the grip slightly), as the DB is being lowered from the shoulder to the ground.

A: Metcon (Time)

2000 Meter Row or Ski

10 Rounds of "The Chief" (R+155/105, Rx125/85)

MODIFICATIONS/SCALING OPTIONS

We are striving for an 18:00-24:00 finish! The goal is to move fast and move well for a longer time domain. For this to happen, we must modify areas of the workout that could create poor movement and lengthily overall times.

Remember…just because you ‘can’, doesn’t always mean they ‘should’.

Row or ski 2000m = 7:00-9:00 (for both genders)

Reduce Distance: 1750m / 1500m / 1250m / 1000m

Have conversations with your athletes during the Warm-Up. To Row 2000m, splits must be at a 2:20 (avg) or below. If they are above, the Row will take too long for todays intention.

Alternative Options: Run 1-mile

10 Rounds of "The Chief" = 10:00-15:00

Overall Volume = 30 Power Cleans / 60 Push-Ups / 90 Air Squats

Aim to modify intensity (loads/reps) to hold :45-1:00 rounds on average across the 10 rounds.

If 1 round takes over 1:00 from the very start, our athletes have either gone too heavy, chosen too many reps, or a combination of both. Pay attention to this in the earlier rounds. You will likely have to scale mid-workout if this happens.

Last note, but an important one – if you have athletes that will be closer to the 9:00 mark for the 2000m, consider reducing "The Chief" rounds to 7 or 8. We
