Skill
2 rounds of Tabata alternating between
Arch Hold
Hollow Hold

We’ll start today off with some important body position work. The hollow and arch come into play with many gymnastics movements including kipping pull-ups and toes to bar. Try to imagine yourself hanging from a bar when you are working through these tabatas. For the arch position you will be laying on your stomach, squeeze your legs together as you lift them off the floor and focus on keeping your arms straight and shoulder width apart. The hollow position will most likely be more difficult. Luckily there are many ways to scale this position. the most important part is that your low back is always pressing into the ground while you lift the top of your shoulders off the ground as if you are trying to look down at your feet. If your back starts to arch you need to adjust your position or take a break. You can make things a little easier by pulling one or both knees into your chest or hold your arms by your sides rather than over your head.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 12 minutes
8 weighted step ups
4 alternating devil press

Grab a dumbbell and a box and get ready for twelve minutes of fun:) You’ll be hanging on to your weight in any way that would like for the step ups. Try a couple different variations before the workout starts to find your favorite way or a few options to switch between. The devil press is basically a burpee plus a dumbbell snatch. Make sure to get your feet up as close to the dumbbell as possible to make sure you’re in a solid position for the snatch. Your score will be rounds plus reps today. Happy Monday!

Workout of the Day
5 rounds of
1 minute of pull-ups
2 minutes of wall balls
1 minute of rest

Pull-ups and wall balls will always be a classic combo. You’ll be moving around between your wallball spot and your pull-up spot so make sure to have your mask on hand for whenever you’re in the gym. There is plenty of outdoor space to throw your ball if you want to move outside for the wall ball intervals! If you can not do unassisted kipping pull-ups yet you can grab a band, do jumping pull-ups or choose ring rows. Your score today will be total reps.

Workout of the Day
7 rounds of 2 minutes on 1 minute off
15 thrusters
then
max reps alternating dumbbell hang snatch

What better way to end a great week than with thrusters?! You’ll need a fairly light barbell and a dumbbell for this workout. Selecting the right thruster weight will be important. Make sure to try a set of seven or eight before the workout starts to make sure you have a weight you can handle. Once you are done with the thrusters you’ll move on to your dumbbell to complete as many alternating hang snatches as possible. Because we’re working from the hang you’ll want to practice the transition of the dumbbell between hands to make sure you are comfortable with this. Your score today will be your total dumbbell snatches.

Skill
EMOM for 10 minutes
straight set of kipping toe to bar

Practice the kipping swing before the skill work starts to decide if you’re ready for a full toes to bar or if knees to chest is a better option. There are lots of ways to practice this skill even if you can’t string together reps yet or get your toes to the bar. Your coach will help you find the best option for you! If for any reason you don’t want to hang from the bar today you can choose to do a straight set of V-ups, hollow rocks, sit-ups or a plank hold.

Workout of the Day
6 rounds of 30 seconds at each station
push-ups
rest
walking lunge steps
rest

We’re taking a break from the weights today for an all bodyweight workout. You’ll have six rounds of thirty second intervals to complete as many reps of both lunges and strict push-ups. As always hold yourself to a high standard when it comes to push-ups. You can work from your toes, knees or with your hands on a box. Whatever version you choose make sure your reps are full range of motion and strict. Full range of motion = your chest taps the ground and your arms fully straighten at the top of each rep. Strict = your torso and trunk stays tight through the whole rep without relaxing or resting at the bottom of your push-up. Your coach will give you some tips to make sure you are getting the most out of your work when it comes to push-ups. Your score will be total reps today, go for it!

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 20 minutes
9 burpees
12 kettlebell swings
15 drag rope double unders

Quick transitions and smart pacing will pay off in today’s AMRAP. You’ll be working through burpees, kettlebell swings and drag rope double unders. In a workout like this choosing a consistent pace that you can maintain will be the smartest choice rather than sprinting through sets of burpees or swings and then taking long rests. If you have never tried a drag rope for double unders you will definitely want to practice these before the workout starts. You’ll notice the difference between a drag rope and a speed rope pretty quickly. Drop the fifteen reps down if needed or stick with a speed rope to scale this movement. Singles are always ok if you don’t have this skill yet, but make sure to throw in at least one double under attempt in each round! Choose a kettelbell that you are comfortable swinging for twelve unbroken reps when you are fresh.

standard: 24/16kg, drag rope singles
rx: 28/20 kg, drag rope
sport: 32/24 kg, drag rope
overachiever: 40/28kg, triple unders

Skill
EMOM for 10 minutes
2 squat snatch

Spend ten minutes working up in weight for a squat snatch double. You can choose to hang on to the bar and practice touch and go reps or drop the bar between and go for two singles. If you decide to drop the bar between reps make sure you are able to hit your second rep fairly quickly after your first. You’ll only have a minute for each double plus any weight changes so budget your time wisely. If you aren’t able to safely get into an overhead squat position you can choose to power snatch for both reps today.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 10 minutes
Sit-ups
*10 Box jumps EMOM

We’re taking a break from the weights for today’s workout. All you need is a box and an abmat. The clock will be on an EMOM timer and at the top of each minute you’ll start with ten box jumps. If you can’t jump for any reason feel free to switch to ten step ups instead. Once you finish your ten reps you’ll move on to sit-ups to try and complete as many as possible in the remaining time of your minute. Don’t get to comfortable here because you’ll be back at your box as soon as the next minute starts. Your score will be your total sit-up reps. If you want to spice things up a bit feel free to switch the sit-ups out for toe to bar reps!

Skill
EMOM for 10 minutes

Spend ten minutes working up in weight for a squat clean double. You can choose to hang on to the bar and practice touch and go reps or drop the bar between and go for two singles. If you decide to drop the bar between reps make sure you are able to hit your second rep fairly quickly after your first. You’ll only have a minute for each double plus any weight changes so budget your time wisely.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 10 minutes
7 front squats
4 sumo deadlift high pull

Lighten your bar up quite a bit for this workout after the skill work. You’ll want to work with a weight that allows you to complete the four sumo deadlift high pull reps unbroken. Selecting your weight based on this lift will most likely result in an appropriate front squat weight but do make sure to try some front squats before the workout starts just in case.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 20 minutes
500M row or 1K bike
20 alternating one arm devil press

Choose a rower or a bike today and one dumbbell. You’ll start each round with either 500 meters on the rower or 1k on the bike. Settle into a fairly comfortable pace here since you will no doubt be returning to your machine multiple times. After your row or bike distance you’ll hop off for twenty devil presses AKA burpees in disguise 😉 Make sure to give a few of these a try before the workout starts so that you can practice a smooth transition from rep to rep. Do your best to stay as consistent as possible for the full twenty minutes! You got this!
