    Skill
    AMRAP in 7 minutes:
    5 strict pull ups
    20 second hollow hold

    Scale the pull ups to banded or ring rows so that you can complete 5 reps in no more than 20 or 30 seconds throughout the 7 minutes.

    Workout of the Day
    6 rounds:
    3 minutes of calories on the rower, bike, or ski erg
    1 minute of rest

    Record the sum of all of your calories. Use this as a chance to find a sustainable pace on your machine of choice. If you would prefer to run instead of use a machine, then do a 500 meter run every 4 minutes for 6 rounds.

    Skill
    10 minutes of handstand practice
    Your choice of handstand skill today! Ask your coach for suggestions if you aren’t sure what to practice, or work on your favorite handstand drill on your own.

    Workout of the Day
    AMRAP in 12 minutes:
    5 front squats
    15 lateral burpees
    75 single unders (see below)

    The jump rope in the workout today is prescribed as single unders with a normal rope for all levels. The idea in this context is to be able to recover and catch your breath on an unbroken set of jump rope, much like you would on a short run, row, or bike. If you’re worried that single unders will be too easy, then push the pace on the front squats and burpees so that you really need that recovery movement. Don’t worry, double unders will be coming up again soon!
    Pick a front squat weight that you can reliably do unbroken through most of the workout.

    Skill
    Every 45 seconds for 12 rounds:
    One hang squat clean plus one squat clean from the floor

    Focus on a tall, full extension in the jump on your hang squat clean, and then try to maintain that level of extension when you take the second rep from the floor. As always, prioritize form over load.

    Workout of the Day
    AMRAP in 10 minutes:
    10 alternating dumbbell power snatches
    10 dumbbell overhead lunges (one dumbbell)

    Pick a weight that lets you get through the snatches unbroken, and then the overhead lunges unbroken, with a short break in between the two movements. Feel free to do all of the overhead lunges on one arm in a single round, but be sure to alternate arms between rounds so that they get even work. If the overhead position is a no-go for you, then consider goblet or unweighted lunges.

    Workout of the Day
    Memorial day hours:
    One class at 10 am
    Open gym at 11 am

    AMRAP in 30 minutes, with a partner:
    40 sit ups
    30 squats
    20 burpees
    One partner working on the sit ups, squats, and burpees at a time. After you switch which partner is working on the bodyweight movements, the one who just got off of those movements must complete an 800 m run before they are allowed to tag back in and take over the count. Partners don’t have to do the same amount of work as each other, and may tag out in the middle of a round as long as their partner has completed their run.

    rx: 800 m run or row, or 2,000 m bike
