EMOM for 10 Minutes
1 power clean + 2 push jerks

Spend ten minutes working up to a challenging power clean and two push jerks. Focus on a quick drop under the bar and a fast and aggressive punch out with your arms so that you aren’t doing any extra work with your upper body. Ideally the drop under and punch out should happen at the same time. Be sure to catch the bar with a soft knee to as you bring the bar down to your shoulders between reps to absorb some impact.

Workout of the Day
for time
10 rounds of
3 clean and jerks
3 bar-facing or lateral burpees

Get ready to move fast! Strip some weight off your bar from the skill work until you get to a weight that allows you to complete three clean and jerk reps unbroken when you are fresh. If you end up doing quick singles during the workout that is fine but it should feel light and fast from the start. You can decide to do bar facing burpees or lateral burpees depending on whether you are inside with a bit more space or on a platform with more limited space. To scale this workout either keep your barbell very light or cut the total rounds down to seven or eight.

This workout can be done with a barbell, dumbbell or kettlebell. If you are working with a dumbbell or kettlebell the only change you will make is to bump up the clean and jerk reps up from 3 to 4 in every round. That way you will always be doing the same amount of work with each arm. Your dumbbell or kettlebell will start from the floor every rep, bring it up to your shoulder first for the clean and then send it over head either with a push press or push jerk depending on how heavy or light your dumbbell or kettlebell is. The difference between a push press and push jerk is a slight drop under the weight for the push jerk to make your weight feel a bit lighter so if your weight is heavy definitely go with the push jerk. You can choose to do normal burpees in place or add a hop over your dumbbell or kettlebell after every rep. Today’s workout is for time! See you on the leaderboard!

Skill
Lunge kick to handstand

10×1 in your square or handstand walk if you have room. If wall space is free you can kick up to the wall. If you’re not ready to get upside down you can try some holds in a pike position with your feet on the ground or on a box.

Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 10 minutes
7 box jumps
4 strict press

You’ll need a barbell and a box for today’s workout. Choosing your strict press weight will be the most important task today. This movement can go south pretty fast if you go a bit too heavy. As you press overhead make sure to squeeze your legs and midline tight to avoid overextending your back through the press. Try more than one set of four strict press before the workout starts to make sure you can complete all four reps in a row from the start. Box jumps can always be scaled to step ups if needed or find a shorter box to jump to if the standard 24/20″ is too high.

This workout can be done with a dumbbell, kettlebell or barbell. It is up to you how you want to break up the strict press but try to keep things as even as possible between your arms. The strict press is a press overhead using only your arms so squeeze your legs and midline tight as you press each rep from your shoulder to overhead. If you don’t have a box or something to jump to you can choose to do step ups, broad jumps or find something that you can jump over for each rep like a packing box, bench or cooler. Hope you’re staying cool at home today and see you on the leaderboard!

Skill
EMOM for 10 minutes
2 overhead squats

Spend 10 minutes working up to a challenging set of two overhead squats. You can choose to either squat snatch your first rep and follow that up with an additional overhead squat or you can start with a power snatch and then complete your two overhead squats. The second option will be good for anyone who is still working on getting comfortable in the overhead squat position. Focus on pressing up on the bar and keeping your gaze forward as you send your hips back first to sit back and down into your squat. This position can be incredibly difficult so only go as deep as is safe and smart for yourself.

Workout of the Day
7 rounds of 30 seconds at each station
double unders
rest
power snatches
rest

Lighten your bar quite a bit after the skill work for today’s workout. You’ll have seven chances at thirty seconds of double unders and thirty seconds of power snatches to rack up as many reps as possible. You’ll also have thirty seconds of rest after each work period so plan to take advantage of each interval and work for as much of your time as possible. Your barbell weight should be light enough that you can complete sets of snatches throughout the entire workout. Double unders can be tough but even getting a few done in each interval would be a real win if you’re still working on this skill! If you aren’t ready for double unders in a workout feel free to switch it up to singles with a speed rope or drag rope.

Row or Bike Calories
E2MOM 15 KB Swings

Today you get your pick of either a bike or rower. You’ll be spending a lot of time on it so choose wisely! Your goal will be to rack up as many calories as possible in twenty minutes, but you’ll start the workout with fifteen kettlebell swings and then repeat those fifteen swings every two minutes until the twenty minutes is up. As soon as you finish each set of swings hop on your rower or bike and start chipping away through calories on your machine. Plan to choose a kettlebell that allows you to get your set of fifteen done in one to two sets. Your score today will be your total calories at the end of the twenty minutes.

We’ll be working on a five minute interval clock today with two minutes of rest between each work period. Each work period will start with a run all the way around the complex. When you get back from the run you will be working through as many reps as possible of either medicine ball sit-ups or pull-ups. You’ll have two chances at each movement. What movement you starts at doesn’t necessarily matter so feel free to switch up the order and start on pull-ups to open up space on the pull-up bars if classes are big.

Skill
EMOM for 10 Minutes
1 Power Snatch + 1 Squat Snatch

You’ll be completing two lifts every minute on the minute for ten minutes today. Start with a power snatch and follow it up with a squat snatch. You can choose to hang on to the bar between the lifts or drop it depending on your preference. Make sure to pay attention to which lift is more difficult for you between the two and let that lift guide your weight choices. This may mean that you end up lifting a little lighter today and working on technique!

Workout of the Day
On a clock set for 12 minutes:
1 minute of power snatches
1 minute of jumping lunges
2 minutes of power snatches
2 minutes of jumping lunges
3 minutes of power snatches
3 minutes of jumping lunges

We’ll be working through three separate intervals on a twelve minute clock for today’s workout. You’ll start with one minute of both power snatches and jumping lunges, followed by two minutes of each and finally three minutes with each movement. Your goal for today will be to rack up as many reps as possible. Your bar for today’s workout doesn’t need to be light but it should be manageable for quick singles. If you end up having to squat snatch any reps you have gone too heavy. The jumping lunges take some practice so give these a try before the workout starts. It can be helpful to land in a wider lunge than you might normally to give yourself a solid base for balance. If jumping lunges are a no for you feel free to do normal walking lunges in place.

Skill
Tabata Toes to bar

A full tabata is eight rounds of twenty seconds of work and ten seconds of rest. Use each work period to complete as many toes to bar reps as possible. The ten second rest period will fly by so plan accordingly. The toes to bar cadence is the same as a kipping swing. If you are just starting working on this skill your main focus should be maintaining the kipping swing cadence rather than getting your toes all the way to the bar. You can start by bringing your toes up to about waist height or even bringing your knees to your chest.

Box Jumps
Rest

We’re taking a break from the barbell today and sticking to all bodyweight movements. You’ll have ten rounds of thirty seconds at each station of box jumps and push-ups. You will have thirty seconds of rest after each work period. If you can’t jump for any reason feel free to do step ups instead. As always, hold yourself to a high standard on the push-ups. Whether you are working from your toes, knees or with your hands on a box make sure that your whole body is moving up and down together, not just your torso. If you are breaking at the hips during your push-ups you are decreasing the difficulty of this movement. Keeping push-ups strict will pay off! You can do it! In the end your score will be the total number of reps today.
