A: Metcon (5 Rounds for time)
Every 3:00 x 5 Rounds
9 Box Jump Overs (R+24/20, Rx20/16″)
12 Double DB Front Squats (R+50/35, Rx 40/25)
15/12 Calorie Row or Ski or 11/8 Cal bike
We have some max-ish effort interval training today! We are looking for folks to put their pedal to metal in every round.
The overall "working out" time is between 8:00-12:00 depending on how fast each interval is completed.
We want our athletes to aim for sub-2:00 rounds, giving at least 1:00 of rest before starting the next round.
This workout is scored by time it takes to complete each round.
Movement Standards
Box Jump Over: Athlete takes off with two feet, lands on the box with both feet, jumps or steps off the box onto the other side. The athlete does not have to reach full leg extension on the box.
Double Dumbbell Front Squat: With the dumbbells in the rack position and standing with full hip and knee extension, the athlete squats down until the crease of the hip passes below the knee cap (below parallel), and stands to full extension of the hips and knees.
MODIFICATIONS/SCALING OPTIONS
Box Jump Over (aiming for under :30)
Reduce the height or reps
Step-Over (great for nervous and/or injured athletes)
DB Front Squat (aiming for under :30)
Reduce load, reduce reps
Modify the movement: – Use one DB or hold Medball on front of body / Lunges in place for 18 reps
(squatting to a target is always helpful)
Cals (aim for less than 1:00)
Reduce the number of cals

A: Metcon (Time)
3 Rounds
400 Meter Run
24 wall ball GHD Sit-Ups w/ feet anchored
12 Clean and Jerks (R+135/95, Rx 115/75)
Another sweet spot for high intensity! 12-18 mins.
Movement Functions: Run, sit-up, pull from the ground and press overhead.
Seemingly different movements, but be careful, as all three movements require a lot of hip flexion and extension, while stabilizing the trunk. Ouch!
Run = ~1:45-2:15 // GHD Sit-Ups = 1:00-2:00 // C&J = 1:00-2:00
1 Round = ~4:00-5:00 (if we are at 6:00 for the first round, we are missing the mark on the intention).
Loading: Moderate – this tells us we could go unbroken for the 12 C&J, but will likely break into 2-4 sets.
Wall Ball GHD Sit-Up: 72 reps. Done fast, these will leave a mark. If we haven’t been on the wall ball GHD for a while, scale back to somewhere between 10-20 reps and/or reduce the range of motion to parallel
MODIFICATIONS/SCALING OPTIONS
400m Run (approximately 1:45-2:15)
Reduce Distance = 300m / 200m
Modify the Movement = 1000/800m Bike 500m Row (as a last resort)
wall ball GHD Sit-Up
Reduce Reps = 20, 15, 12 – be cautious and err on less reps as athletes are reintroduced to this potent movement
Reduce Range of Motion = Parallel or 1/4 Range (slight lean back)
Substitute the Movement = Overhead Medball Abmat Sit-Up (a fine choice)
Clean & Jerk
Reduce Load = 115/80; 95/65; 75/55; 65/45; 45/35
Modify the Movement = Hang Clean & Push Press or Jerk

A: Metcon (Time)
20 Power Snatches (R+95/65, Rx 75/55)
20 Lateral Barbell Burpees
20 Overhead Squats
20 Lateral Barbell Burpees
20 Squat Snatches
This one is a lung-burner! Light loading tells us that we can go for big sets, only breaking due to fatigue and not because the bar is too heavy. Think light and nasty!
Time Ranges: 8-12
15min Time Cap
Aim to complete each movement ~2:00 or under. This is a guide, not a hard rule.
No movement should exceed 3:00. If so, the athlete’s weight may be too heavy or burpee reps were not scaled appropriately.
Loading on the barbell should allow for approximately 2-4 sets. Remember the loading should feel light.
Lateral Burpee Over the Bar doesn’t require full hip extension at the top, therefore it’s possible to move a little faster by staying low in the jump over.
Fast workout! (Even though it may not feel like it.
Reminder: Quality Movement is a non-negotiable!
This is a fast workout and should be scaled to achieve that effect – lung burner!
