TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 6 minutes
Time Cap each set: 8 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into CHALLENGE! Pacing needs to be moderate and controlled across each workout. These three rounds continuously get tougher and will test your grip and upper body endurance through highly skilled gymnastics. Pacing needs to be strategic, with calculated breaks in the early rounds/workouts, to bank enough strength for the finale.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and/or GASSY! The first two workouts are your typical style and burners, while the final is pure grit and willpower.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Pacing should be moderate (75-80%) to finish under 70 seconds each time. Focus on a strong, aggressive leg/hip drive to remove tension from the upper body/arms. Breathe through each pull and slow down the final couple of calories.

Toes to Bar: Unbroken might seem like a good idea, but I promise you, it’s not. Break early and often to save your arms for the final three rounds.

Kipping Ring Muscle Up: The goal is ideally 1-2 sets throughout. Be smart on the finish.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: 4-5 minutes
Time Cap each set: 6 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! We want a moderately high intensity on this 2-set couplet. Try and keep consistent round times to stay within the target time. This combo is trendy within programming, so let’s get to work.

How it should Feel:
GASSY! It’s like a match. Strike fast, hit it while it’s hot, and burn it down at the end.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bar Facing Burpees: Pacing should be steady and not over-paced. For the first 7-8 reps, we want to keep moving with little to no time spent on the ground. The final 2-3 reps should be tapered down to allow us to get our heart rate somewhat under control and get right to work on the bar.

Deadlift: Ideally under 60% of 1RM max for unbroken sets. I don’t care how bad it hurts. Hold on to the bar like your life depends on it.

Flow:
Complete set 1:
10 Bar Facing Burpees, 10 Deadlift, 10 Bar Facing Burpees, 10 Deadlift, 10 Bar Facing Burpees, 10 Deadlift.

-Rest 2 minutes-

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 12 minutes
Time Cap: 15 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY and GRIND! This is a moderate to heavy weight, and we all want a good pump session with a hint of cardio. Pace it out on the 10-7, and after that, it’s smooth sailing. The rest should be between the movements, not during.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Be smart, don’t go to failure, and have fun!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Back Squat: Moderate-heavy weight under 70% of 1RM to stay unbroken through each set.

Bench Press: Same as the back squat, under 70% of 1RM. Don’t push yourself to failure and break before it breaks you.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high intensity
SCORE = total number of Clean and Jerks
Target Reps: 15+
Minimum Reps before scaling: 10

STIMULUS AND GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY The stimulus is moderate intensity throughout the workout. Be mindful of compounding midline fatigue from GHDs and the Handstand walk, and take an extra moment to recover before kicking up in a handstand after GHDs. Additionally, breathing is always a priority in any workout, but especially so for today due to being upside down for Handstand walking and GHDs.

How it should Feel: CARDIO and some MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! It’s a grind! Coming out hot will do you no good. Put your head down and go to work. We want at least 2+ minutes at the end for the cleans. That means have a game plan and know your pace you need and can achieve out of the gate.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike Erg: Pacing should be moderate, focusing on relaxing your arms and shoulders as much as possible. Don’t go crazy on the bike only to rock your lungs. Recover the first 200m and slow down the final 100m before exiting to help transition to the next station.

GHD Sit Up: Smooth and steady, pausing at the top of each rep to breathe. The goal should be near non-stop with an explosive leg and hip drive.

Handstand Walk: Distance is short and gets less each time, so the goal should be unbroken. Take a second before kicking up to get your head right after all the ghds.

Clean and Jerk: The weight should be moderately light (ideally under 70% of 1RM Power clean and jerk) so that smooth and steady singles can be completed in the remaining time.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Target Time each set: sub 60/70 seconds for the 300m and 3 minutes 30 seconds/3 minutes 50 seconds for the 1000m
Time Cap each set: NONE!

STIMULUS AND GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into CHALLENGE! Cardio day – we start this rowing session with a nice moderate primer. After the rest, it’s time to ramp up the pace to moderate to high intensity. Effort should be pushed on the 200m, but at a sustainable and consistent level across all sets with a short rest between. After the final 200m row, we only have 30 seconds of rest before we hop back on for a 1000m row to throttle up for a final very hard effort!

How it should Feel: GASSY into LACTIC ACID PARTY! Those 200m rows in the middle will light your hammies up. Stand up during the rest and focus on breathing through the motion. By the end the work will have stacked up allowing you to reinforce some CARDIO stimulus as well!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: The 1000m rows are ramp-up and then almost emptying the tank on the last at 90%! The middle portion is where the money is made. Use the first two sets to build into your pace. Focus on your leg and hip drive while controlling your breathing through each pull.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

12 Dumbbell Bench (2×24/16kg)
20 MB Situps/ GHD
-no rest between sets-

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7 – 70% – moderate intensity

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! The stimulus for today’s workout needs to be moderate-high intensity with aggressive and strategic sets to finish under the time cap. We have two upper-body dominant movements mixed with a midline wrecker. There is no rest between sets, which means you need to make sure you can finish the rope climbs and bench press in under 75 seconds consistently to have sufficient time for the GHDs.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Upper body endurance will be tested today, so make sure adjustments are made early to finish within the target time. After a few rounds, we should have a good pace and an idea of where we should finish.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: Make a big jump every single time and really emphasize using your legs before the arms on the ascent.

Dumbbell Bench Press: The weight is moderate, and all sets can and should stay unbroken. Make sure you lock out at the top of each rep.

GHD Sit Up: Be aggressive on these, aiming to complete 15+ reps every single time. Focus on breathing and relaxing your shoulders/hands as much as possible.

Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 7 minutes
Time Cap each set: 9 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Today’s workout involves bouncing back and forth between movements with our buddy (or 1:1 if you are going alone). Once partners 1 and 2 finish their stations, they will switch. Once they have each completed their work on the second station, they will advance to the next two movements. Continue all the way through, both completing each movement before advancing. Once finished, we will rest and complete three more sets, starting a new set every 10:00.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! Be aggressive in your pace throughout each movement. If you finish before your partner, then you better enjoy the rest.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! All the bi’s and tri’s in this grind of a chipper. Aim for a steady, consistent effort with strategic sets to avoid muscle failure. This workout is designed to put your arms in a blender through vigorous push/pull combinations.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! Break early and often to sustain a consistent work flow. Pushing the limits early on will not do you any favors in the end.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Push-ups: Don’t go for broke on these and put your arms in a deficit. Break into sets of 5-10 reps with quick breaks between sets.

Handstand Push Up: Break more than you think here to play the long game and save your shoulders.

Strict Handstand Push Up: Follow the same strategy as everything else. Play it safe early on, and don’t push yourself to failure.

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: sub 1 minutes
Time Cap each set: 90 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! We want each set to be approached with an attack mode that can be replicated for 2 solid efforts on each machine. 95% effort is what we are looking for, which isn’t all out, but it’s dang near close with a little saved in the tank for that final set. During the rest, don’t spend too much time on the ground. Get up and move before the next station.

How it should Feel: PAIN! Just tell the gym owner to turn the lights off and leave you on the floor.

Assault Bike: Ramp that bikes up to a 100%+ effort for 3-5 seconds and then settle into that 95% pace. Don’t you dare slow down the final calories; fight till the end.

Row: Quick and fast pulls off the start to get the fan moving, and then it’s time to pull hard with a strong leg and hip drive. Focus on breathing at the back end and be aggressive on the return.

PART C:

8 minutes of as many rounds and reps of:
1 Rope Climb + 10/7 Calories on Ski Erg or Assault Bike
**Each “round” you add 1 more Rope Climb.

Round 2 you begin with 2 Rope Climb + 10/7 Calories on Ski Erg or Assualt Bike
Round 2 you begin with 3 Rope Climb + 10/7 Calories on Ski Erg or Assualt Bike

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY: This will sneak up on you as we add more rope climbs. Don’t go out too hot!!
How it should Feel: GRIPPY: Mostly grip should be the fatiguing factor.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: Begin with 1 Rope Climb and add 1 more Rope climb EACH round you get back to the rope.
Ski Erg: This number is steady the entire workout. Choose a pace you can stay consistent the entire workout. We want to be approx. 35-45 seconds on erg

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Just grunt work today as you navigate through these 5 minute AMRAPs. It will be an all-leg drive while maintaining a moderate intensity and consistent pacing across rounds. Being methodical on pacing and trying not to go too fast off the start will be the key to sustaining each workout.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and/or GASSY! It’s going to be a leg pump like no other. Have the recovery boots ready after this is all done.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Sandbag Clean to Shoulder: The bag should be movable so that reps can be completed with little to no hesitation between them. Keep a tempo that allows your heart rate to stay under control.

Sandbag Squat: Unbroken is the goal across all sets. Finding that comfortable hold early on is crucial for breathing and consistency. Once you start squatting, don’t stop.

Sled Push: The weight stays the same across, and so should the pacing. Keep the legs turning at a smooth and steady pace. No sprinting! Just stay moderate and try to keep 50-foot sections unbroken before stopping.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
