Strict Presses (R+95/65, Rx 75/55)

After each round of descending rep strict press, you’ll complete some 250m and sit-ups
These other two movements utilize very little shoulders, which will allow us to maintain strong barbell sets
Your score is the total time it takes to complete the 10 rounds
We expect this workout to take between 20-25 minutes to complete.

*stimulus is 12-15 with a 18min time cap
*We have two back-to-back couplets for today’s workout
This piece is fairly posterior chain dominant, which creates some interference between all 4 movements
This means we’ll have to find a good break-up plan to keep chipping away while pushing off excess fatigue
You’ll complete all the work of deadlifts and jumps before immediately transitioning to the swings and calories (no rest between)
The workout flows like this:
30 Deadlifts
30 Box Jumps
20 Deadlifts
20 Box Jumps
10 Deadlifts
10 Box Jumps
10 Kettlebell Swings
