Warm-Up Flow (Checkmark)

General Warm-Up

1-2 Sets

1:00 Cardio of Choice

10 Scapular Pull-Ups

5/5 Single Arm Ring Row

:20 Hollow Body Hold

:20 Arch Hold

1:00 Jump Rope (moving from singles into practicing doubles)

Specific Gymnastics Prep

4-6 Reps Each:

Kipping Swings (hollow to arch)

Elevator Kip Swing, progressing to chin over bar

Kipping Chest to Bar Pull-Up

Progress athletes through the skill ladder based on their level. Athletes should arrive at the skill session with modifications and an understanding of ability and scale for the day.

Specific Barbell Primer / After Gymnastics Skill Session

3 Controlled Sets: Building to working loads and dialing in dubs.

5 Hang Power Cleans

10 Abmat Sit-Ups

15 Double Unders or 25 Single Unders

Working loads confirmed. Use this to dial in the hang position, turnover mechanics, and rope rhythm before the clock starts on "Fuse."

Gymnastics Isolated Progression / Skill Touches (Checkmark)

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)

Level 1: 3-4 Banded Strict Pull-Ups or 5 Ring Rows

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.

"Fuse" (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

13:00 AMRAP

10 Hang Power Cleans

20 Abmat Sit-Ups

10-20-30-40-50.... Double Unders*

Barbell: (Rx135/95, S 115/75)

*Double numbers for single unders 20-40-60-80 etc…
Score = Rounds + Reps

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.

Warm-Up Flow (Checkmark)

General Warm-Up

1-2 Sets

1:00 Cardio of Choice

10 Bootstrap Squats

10 Banded Good Mornings

:20/:20 Samson Stretch

:15 Extended Plank Hold

10 Glute Bridges

Specific Barbell Prep / Empty to Light Barbell

2-3 Reps Each:

Tempo Squat (:03 descent, :01 pause in the hole)

Paused Back Squat (pause at the bottom)

Then build to a moderate warm-up load and complete:

5 Reps @ 50% of 5RM

3 Reps @ 60% of 5RM

2-3 Reps @ 70% of 5RM

Athletes should arrive at Set 1 of the Back Squat feeling warm, confident, and positioned well.

Specific Primer / After Back Squat

2 Controlled Sets: building to working loads

7/5 Calorie Row

4 Dual Dumbbell Thrusters

4 Bar Facing Burpees

4 Deadlifts

Working loads confirmed. Use this to dial in transitions, breathing patterns, and movement feel before the clock starts on "Redline."

Back Squat (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

Goal: Strong, quality reps across all three sets with load increasing each set. Set 3 at 90% should feel heavy but controlled. The 3:00 window is intentional, athletes should be ready and focused before each set, not still recovering when the clock hits.

Level 1: 9-7-5 Keeping all sets @ 6-7 RPE with quality rep focus and some in the tank.

Travel/Hotel: Dual Dumbbell Goblet Squat or Dual Dumbbell Front Squat for 15-12-9 reps at a challenging and consistent loading across all three sets.

Modifications and Adjustments

- Move to a Box Squat to limit range of motion for athletes dealing with knee discomfort or lower back sensitivity under load.

- Adjust to Split Squats or Reverse Lunges for athletes specifically dealing with SI joint dysfunction where bilateral loading creates pain or instability.

- Adjust to Hip Thrusts if both alternatives still create issues, prioritizing posterior chain loading without spinal compression.

"Redline" (8 Rounds for time)

Every 1:30 x 8 Sets, Alternating Stations (4 Sets @ Each)

Station 1:

12/9 Calorie Row

9 Dual Dumbbell Thrusters

Station 2:

12 Bar Facing Burpees

9 Deadlift

Dumbbell: 2 x 50/35lb, 22.5/15kg

Barbell: 185/125lb, 84/57kg
Score = Sum Total Interval Time

Goal: Each station completed in :55–1:15 | Consistent splits across all 8 sets

RPE: 8.5–9/10

Stimulus: Aerobic Power / Lactate Threshold

Primary Objective: Hold consistent interval times from round 1 through round 8. This workout rewards pacing discipline, not an early sprint.

Secondary Objective: Manage the transition inside each station. The row-to-thruster and burpee-to-deadlift transitions are where time is lost. Keep movement sharp and deliberate.

Primary Objective: Manage the Devils Press as the anchor of each round, keeping the reps unbroken and control the dumbbell overhead to preserve grip and shoulder endurance across 16 minutes.

Secondary Objective: Hold strict pull-ups in consistent sets round to round. Avoid going to failure, breaking up early will help with compounding fatigue later in the workout.
