Skill
10x90s
25 double unders then
1 squat snatch or 2 power snatch

You’ll need a jumprope and a barbell today for this skill work. Before heading to the barbell you’ll start each interval with a small set of double unders. If you’re not sure how many reps you should do here you can spend thirty to forty seconds working through some double unders and then move to your barbell for either one squat snatch or two power snatches. The squat snatch puts a high demand on both mobility and strength so if power snatching is a better option for you feel free to go with this lift instead of the squat snatch.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 10 minutes
10 weighted step overs with dumbbell
10 push-ups

Today’s workout is pretty simple. Grab a dumbbell and a box and spend some time going over the best way for you to work through strict push-ups in a workout like this. Whether you are working from your toes, knees or with your hands on a box make sure you are in a plank position to start and finish each rep. Your chest should come into contact with the ground for each rep and if you’re holding a tight plank position with your legs and midline squeezed tight you’ll notice that your legs easily stay off the ground at the bottom of the rep as well. The harder you work here the stronger you will get so don’t cheat yourself out of progress! Hang on to the dumbbell however you’d like for the step overs. Your score today will be total rounds plus any extra reps.

Today’s workout can be done with a dumbbell or kettlebell for the step overs. If you don’t have something you can use to step up on to you can switch the step overs to weighted lunge steps. Unweighted lunge steps or step ups would also work if you want to leave the weight out of it. Your score today will be total rounds plus extra reps. See you on the leaderboard!

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 20 minutes
400 meter run
21 goblet squats
12 pull-ups

You’ll need a kettlebell and a space on the pull-up bars or a set of rings for today’s twenty minute AMRAP. After a short run you’ll hang on to your kettlebell for twenty one goblet squats before moving on to a set of twelve pull-ups. Pull-ups can be scaled by using a band, switching things up to ring rows or even jumping pull-ups are a good option. Use a kettlebell that you are comfortable with so that it doesn’t take too many sets to get through the twenty one reps. Your score at the end of twenty minutes will be total rounds plus extra reps.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 20 minutes
50 sit-ups
35 hang power cleans

You’ll need a light barbell for today’s twenty minute AMRAP. The hang power cleans should be easy for large sets if you choose your weight wisely. Try out multiple reps of the strict press with your barbell before the workout starts to make sure you don’t get caught up with a weight that is too heavy for you. You’ll want to be able to press the bar overhead using only your arms while keeping your torso straight and not arching your back. Your score at the end of twenty minutes will be total rounds plus extra reps.

Skill

tabata plank hold

If you came to the gym on Tuesday, the timing of this skill work will look familiar. A full tabata is 8 rounds of twenty seconds of work and ten seconds of rest. You’ll start with 8 rounds of plank holds, then 8 rounds of hollow hold and then return to a plank hold for another 8 rounds. There are a lot of ways to scale the hollow position, choose an option for the hollow that allows you to hold a quality position for as much as each twenty seconds as possible.

deadlift
bar facing burpee

*10 minute time cap

Today’s workout has a pretty tight time cap. If you want to do the workout as prescribed, but you think you can’t make the time cap that is totally fine today. You will just make your way through as many reps as possible in 10 minutes. Scale the barbell weight if the prescribed weight is out of your wheelhouse. Our focus at the gym will always be safety first so make a choice for yourself here that allows you to move well and move safely through the deadlift reps even when you are under fatigue. To perform the bar facing burpees “as prescribed” you will need to be facing the bar while your chest is on the ground and you must clearly jump over the bar with both feet off the ground as you pass over the barbell. To scale this movement you can perform burpees in place or step over the bar after every rep. Your score today will be either the total time it takes you to finish all the work or 10:00 plus all the reps you weren’t able to complete. ie: if you are time capped with 15 reps left your score would be 10:15.

Today’s workout can be done with a barbell, dumbbell or kettlebell. If you are working with a dumbbell or kettlebell you will want to do a sumo style stance for these deadlifts. You will most likely be using a lighter weight than if you had a barbell so rather than adding any extra reps for the lighter weight you can leave the reps as they are and the challenge will be to get further through the workout or even try to finish it! Your score today will be either the total time it takes you to finish all the work or 10:00 plus all the reps you weren’t able to complete. ie: if you are time capped with 15 reps left your score would be 10:15.

You can bump the 3 snatch reps up to 4 to keep things even between your arms if you want to but totally ok to keep it at 3 too and just alternate which arm you start snatching with in each round. The box jumps can be switched out for broad jumps, step ups or even lateral hops over your dumbbell or kettlebell depending on what equipment you have.

Skill
tabata strict pull-ups

tabata strict pull-ups

We’ll be on the tabata clock for our skill work today. A full tabata is 8 rounds of twenty seconds of work and ten seconds of rest. You’ll start with 8 rounds of strict pull-ups, then 8 rounds of either an L-sit on the floor or hanging from the bar and then return to strict pull-ups for another 8 rounds. Work in sets or singles on the pull-ups. You can use a band if needed or choose ring rows instead. The goal here will be to complete as many reps as possible during each work period over the 16 total rounds. Choose an option for the L-sit that allows you to hold a quality position for as much as each twenty seconds as possible. The hang option will likely be more demanding on the grip coming after the pull-ups.

Workout of the Day
10 rounds of 60 seconds on 30 seconds off
30 double unders
then
max reps push-ups

*spend no more that 30 seconds on double unders

Today’s workout is an all bodyweight shoulder burner. With only one minute to work in each interval you will want to make sure to go in with a good plan for the double unders. Spend some time before the workout starts testing out the timing of the reps to decide if you should scale this set size down or not. You should spend no more than thirty seconds with the jump rope. After your set of double unders move on to push-ups and complete as many reps as possible in the remainder of the minute.

Skill
15×45 seconds
1 power clean + 1 squat clean

You’ll have fifteen attempts at a power clean plus a squat clean today completing one set every forty five seconds. You can choose to link the reps together or drop the bar between reps depending on what you prefer. If you do drop the bar between make sure you complete both lifts in under thirty seconds so that you have some time to catch your breath or add weight before the next round.

Workout of the Day
