    10×3
    strict weighted pull-ups

    We’ll spend some time working on strict upper body pulling strength today. To scale the movement, remove the added weight and perform strict bodyweight pull-ups, banded pull-ups, or ring rows. If you’re unsure what weight to use, start at body weight and increase weight across 10 rounds, increasing the weight as you go. Likewise, you can start with a strong band assist and increase the difficulty across several rounds.

    Workout of the Day

    4 rounds with 1 minute at each station
    row for calories
    medicine ball sit ups
    burpee box jumps
    rest

    This workout consists of 4 rounds where you will work for 1 minute at each station. Your score is the total number of calories and reps completed across all rounds.

    When it comes to the sit-ups, you can scale by using a lighter ball or removing the weight altogether. To scale the burpee box jumps, step back and step up for the burpee and step-ups instead of box jumps, and use a lower box or perform step-ups.

    E2MOM for 10 minutes
    8/5 calorie bike sprint + max set of push ups

    Pair up or get into groups on a bike if classes are large for today’s skill work. You’ll start with a hard effort on the bike followed by a max set of push ups. Choose a difficulty level for your push ups that allows you to complete at least 5 reps every round.

    Workout of the Day

    AMRAP in 20 minutes
    5 goblet squats
    10 kettlebell swings
    15 drag rope double unders

    Spend some time practicing double unders today with the drag rope. The heavier rope takes a lot more effort for each rep so the set size is quite small in each round. Scale it down further if needed or grab a regular rope to simplify the movement. Even 2 or 3 double under reps in each round will make a big difference. Choose a kettlebell that you are comfortable with for both the swings and the squats.

    deadlift
    2-2-2-2-2

    spend some time working up to a heavy deadlift double. Focus on a smooth pull from the floor and make sure you are able to stick to a touch and go rep for your second rep of each set.

    Workout of the Day

    AMRAP in 15 minutes
    10 pull ups
    10 alternating dumbbell snatches
    10 overhead walking lunge steps

    Choose a version of pull ups that get you through the set of 10 in 2-3 sets. Kipping, strict, banded, jumping pull ups or ring rows are all great options. Give the overhead position a try with your dumbbell but if it’s not happening for you due to shoulder mobility etc. feel free to do goblet lunges instead or even bodyweight lunge steps!

    Skill

    EMOM for 10 minutes
    1 slow pull power clean + 1 slow pull squat clean

    We have some fun technique work to start the day. The focus will be a slow and controlled pull from the floor first with a power clean, followed by a squat clean. You’ll want to treat each rep like a single dropping bar between so that you can set up and pull each rep slowly from the floor. There should be a dramatic speed change after the bar passes your knees as you drive the bar up to catch it at your shoulders.

    Workout of the Day

    for time
    400m run
    50 wall balls
    400m run
    40 wall balls
    400m run
    30 wall balls

    Three runs and three large wall ball sets are on the menu today. To scale this workout you could shorten the run distance for each round, lighten the wall ball load or decrease the total reps. If you’re worried about the volume give 40-30-20 a try instead of 50-40-30. The afternoon classes will be hot but it’s the coolest day of the week so we had to squeeze a run in 🤪 feel free to switch out the run for the bike if you want to avoid the heat!

    push press
    2-2-2-2-2

    Today you’ll have a chance to work up in weight to a heavy double push press. Take the bar from the rack and focus on a strong dip and drive before pressing out each rep. Your dip should be vertical and fairly shallow but as powerful as you can make it.

    Workout of the Day

    AMRAP in 12 minutes
    9 push presses
    6 lateral burpees

    After the push press in the skill work you should have a pretty good idea of what weight to choose for today’s workout. You’ll want to get your nine reps done in 1-2 sets in pretty much every round. The lateral burpees can be done in place or with a step over to scale down the difficulty a bit if needed.

    Workout of the Day

    AMRAP in 20 minutes
    500m run
    35 power cleans
    20 push jerks

    Today’s workout is all about the barbell with a fairly short run to start off each round. Choose a weight for your barbell that you are pretty comfortable with and can complete your clean reps as quick singles or small sets and your jerk reps in small sets as well. You’ll want to choose your weight based on the push jerks so make sure to do a couple sets of both lifts before the workout starts.

    Deadlift
    7-7-7

    Spend some time warming up your deadlift to a weight you feel confident you can hang on to for 7 reps. Stick with one weight for all 3 sets or add weight as you go if things are feeling good. Focus on staying tight and engaged through every rep and if your grip starts to go try out a mixed grip with one hand facing each way to really lock in on the bar.

    Tabata Row
    Rest 1 minute
    Tabata Air Assault Bike

    This workout consists of two 4-minute Tabata blocks (8 rounds of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off) separated by a 1-minute rest. Keep the intensity high but do your best to maintain repeatable effort in each round.

    Workout of the Day

    AMRAP in 20 minutes
    400m run
    30 medicine ball step overs
    20 burpees

    To scale the run, reduce the distance or substitute with a row or bike. To scale the medicine ball step-overs, use a lighter ball, a lower box, or perform unweighted step-ups. Manage the burpees by stepping back and up instead of jumping, or perform straight-arm up-downs. Each movement can be scaled independently in terms of volume by decreasing the total number of reps per round as well.

    EMOM for 10 minutes
    1 squat clean + 2 front squats

    You’ll have 10 chances to complete 1 squat cleans plus two front squats. The extra front squats definitely spice things up quite a bit so feel out the first few rounds and then start adding weight if things are feeling good. If you can’t squat for any reason you can do 2 or 3 power cleans instead.

    Workout of the Day

    AMRAP in 15 minutes
    15 wall balls
    15 sit ups

    Today’s workout is simple but potent. Move slow and steady during the sit ups and use them as a chance to get your heart rate down and catch your breath. If you like both of these movements challenge yourself to keep transition times minimal between each movement.
