TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 3 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! It’s a core and shoulder beat down, but the sets are quick. Be aggressive at each station with little to no rest between movements. The faster you go, the faster you turn around on sets, so don’t shoot yourself in the foot by coming out too hot. Come out with confidence and build speed each round if you can.

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! The upper body is under constant duress, so keep the shoulders loose as much as possible during the rest and transitions.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Calorie Ski: Aggressive (85%) while focusing on breathing, using total body, and rolling out the shoulders on each ascent.

Kipping Toes to Bar: Unbroken is golden! This may get tough as the sets go on and core fatigue builds. Regardless, fight to hold on and be overly aggressive with your hips.

Strict Handstand Push Up or Kipping Handstand Push Up: Unbroken is great,, but be cautious and break into 2 sets before failure creeps up. Drop reps on this before you go to 3 sets here.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! Wall Ball/Burpee day and these 3 couplet chippers only get harder. Push the pace, but be strategic on effort and sets early to ensure you save enough energy for those last two gut-punching sets.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! Control your breathing during each set while getting your heart rate down on the break. It’s going to hurt!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Wall Balls: Unbroken would be awesome, but not at the expense of collapsing on the burpees. Plan on breaking the last 3 sets up accordingly.

Burpee Box Jump Over: The cadence should slow down as the reps increase. From the 2nd set on it should be the same (smooth and steady) with the intent to stay non-stop. If you feel like it has slowed way down, don’t panic. Mentally break the work into manageable chunks with how you count (i.e. counting to 5 over and over) and keep steady that way.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5-9.0+ – 85-90+% – high to very high intensity
Target Time: 4-5 minutes
Time Cap: 7 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Attack with a relentless effort through each round. Be smart on the bench, but the given weight on both bars should allow for non-stop effort. There is a little give and take here. If you go too crazy on the power cleans, you might be left staring at the bench. Find that happy medium that allows for both movements to be blazed through.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Classic push/pull weightlifting combo. Have fun, get your heart rate, and fight until the end.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Power Clean: Weight should be moderate (under 75% 1RM) where touch and go could be accomplished if you had to. But you will likely want to go with fast singles to make it sustainable for all 5 rounds.

Barbell Bench Press: Moderate weight here as well (under 75% 1RM), where all reps can be completed unbroken. Shake out your arms before starting every time.
 

PART C: Finisher

6 rounds for time on a running clock:
10 UNBROKEN V-Ups

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7-8 – 70-80% – moderate to moderate/high intensity
Target Rounds each set: 3+
Minimum Rounds before scaling: 2+5

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Stay steady through the two high-skilled movements while utilizing the row to recover. The goal is to stay smooth and consistent across sets and rounds. Take the first time and be a little cautious when testing the waters.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! Given the reps and weight, there’s no real reason to stop, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Squat Snatch: Weight is moderate to light/moderate (under 70% of 1RM), but don’t let that entice you to touch’n go. Quick singles is what we are looking for to keep the desired intensity and not let your grip or shoulders overly fatigued.

Bar Muscle Ups: Unbroken! This should be smooth and not a hold up to you staying moving in the workout.

Row: Moderate and steady effort here (75%) while focusing on breathing and relaxing your grip and shoulders.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

-rest 4 minutes between sets-

*For Max Rounds part: Both partners work at the same time. Partner 1 does box jumps while partner 2 does shoulder to overhead, then switch when both are done

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate intensity
Target Rounds each set: 3+
Minimum Rounds before Scaling: 2+

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY. The goal is to move at an effort you could sustain with your partner for a 25+ minute AMRAP if you had to. The movements should allow you and your partner to transition quickly and go unbroken without feeling too gassed or out of control. This is a good opportunity to learn your gears and practice your pacing.

How it should Feel: CARDIO. This one is all about sustainability. See if you and your partner can hit the same amount of rounds each set or within a couple of reps of the first one.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski/Row: Low-moderate pacing (70-75%) lined up with your partner. Breathe through the motion and try to focus on keeping your heart rate from spiking so you can bump up intensity on other movements.

Power Cleans: The volume on these is high! Be smooth and steady through these at a rate that does not blow up your legs completely. Switch as needed on the machine to stay moving with these.

Box Jumps: No rebounding, reset at the bottom, and be explosive with every jump. Height should be more challenging than normal but not threatening to cause a missed rep.

Shoulder to Overhead: Big hips and launch the weight overhead. Find a rhythm and try to hang on unbroken for each set of these.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 3 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! We want this to be reps and sets that stretch your capabilities and push you to hang on longer than you think you can! Come out confident but not reckless!

How it should Feel: GASSY! You don’t have to go unbroken, but the movements shouldn’t have you breaking frequently. The intensity should be up on this one and keep you moving from movement to movement with purpose.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Under: Unbroken would be an awesome goal. However not at the expense of causing you to over rest going to the next station. Break into 2-3 quick sets if needed to stay aggressive.

Overhead Squats: These are taken from the ground, so be ready to squat snatch that bar and get right into it. The goal is unbroken, so be ready to grind through these reps. Don’t use over 50% of your 1RM overhead Squat. Stay calm and steady while controlling your breathing. Position is king here!

GHD Sit Ups: Smooth and steady to keep your heart rate at bay. Breathing at the top of each rep will help prepare for the double unders.

PART C:

For TIME
Unbroken sets of Elevated Ring Rows
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

**READ CAREFULLY: This is a strategy workout. Each “set” MUST be unbroken but you can string together multiple sets for a faster time. BUT if you string together set of 10 + 9 and only get 17 reps before failing…you MUST redo the set of 9s again [since you already accumulated the 10 round]. Therefore, REST as much as needed to be successful at all sets BUT the clock is running so you don’t want to wait too long!

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY, CHALLENGE: Remember, we need to be strategic so we don’t have to repeat ANY of the sets.
How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE. The biceps and core will feel this one.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Elevated Ring Row: We want to set up so our back is parallel to the ground at the start.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Reps each set: 25+ Wall balls and 20+ Burpees
Minimum reps before scaling each set 20 Wall Balls and 15 Burpees

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! We have a machine buy in designed to create some fatigue before getting to the wall balls or burpees. We have designed the machines to take under 1 minute to get your work in at the wall ball and burpee stations (don’t forget the cap there).

How it should Feel: GASSY and/or MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! The machine efforts are there to get you out of breath and simulate what work will feel like in the QuarterFinals workout itself with higher heart rate and trying to manage it without blowing up.
Muscular fatigue may be more manageable today with the machine focus and built in rest. The goal is to have some without it completely slowing down the workout.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Calorie Row: We want 85% effort here and smooth pulls. Legs will get fatigued as sets go on combined with the wall balls. Stay in it after the rest and try to make each calorie effort repeatable.

Wall Balls: Smooth and big unbroken sets is the aim! You will have at least a minute of work. If you think holding on for all 60 seconds is doable, then go for it! Find a rhythm with your breathing and see if you can make each wall ball look and feel like the same each time you start a set.

Calorie Bike Erg: We also want 85% effort here. Find a middle damper setting (3-7) you can push through and favor RPMs so you don’t blow your legs up with the higher push back on resistance. Legs will be more fatigued as we start after the row and wall balls. Try not to slow down any set and the final effort may take more out of you but that is fine as long as we are almost done.

Burpee to Target: We have a target built in here to keep us jumping but we do not have to use a box today. Push the effort on these as the rest comes right after you finish these.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

Minimum Reps before Scaling: 60 reps (through 16 chest to bar)

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Try to keep a push the pace effort as you go through this ascending ladder and then after a long rest it’s time to fight back to the start. Start to get strategic with your rest and when to break on sets as you approach the bigger numbers. Don’t come out with a pace that’s not sustainable even through half of the AMRAP. See if you can get close to 8:00 on the way back down.

How it should Feel: MUSCLE ENDURANCE! You won’t feel much off the start as rounds fly by, but once you hit the 5th round (10 and 20), things will get real. Shake out your arms early and often, and know when it’s time for a quick break on sets.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Kipping Handstand Push Up: The first few sets should be completed unbroken). By the 4th or 5th set, we can start to take a quick rollout after some reps.

Chest to Bar: You must stay within your limits early. Aim to break in the 4th round and on. Don’t push to your breaking point, or you’ll be finished early.

HERO “CHAD” – in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018 due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries and PTSD.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0-9.0 – 80-90% – moderate/high to high intensity
The target scores are less important today. We just want athletes to try and stay moving for the whole workout to appreciate our Veterans!

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY and GRIND! The Stimulus for this workout is plain and simple.
Just grind through with a moderately low intensity while trying to keep consistent non-stop movement. Hero workouts are designed to hurt and test you not only physically but mentally. Remind athletes of who you are doing this for and why. This is all about picking a smooth and conservative pace and aiming to not stop moving the entire time.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! This is all about leg “push” endurance and managing heart rate. How long can you endure!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Box Step Up: Males and females will all use a 20in box height for this movement. Standards are starting with both feet on the floor and ending with both feet on the box with athlete standing at full extension. Be sure to alternate the leg you step up with on each rep. Stepping up with the same leg for successive reps is a no rep.

Ideally we want athletes to use some type of weight for this workout. Vest or back pack is highly recommended but holding a dumbbell can be sufficient as well.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.0-7.5 – 70-75% – moderate intensity
Target Time: 16-18 minutes
Time Cap: 20 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! Push the pace through the first three stations while being mindful of grip fatigue. Quick breaks on sets before going into that dark place on the sled push, where it only gets harder. The only change in pacing should be on the sled.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! It’s going to hurt, don’t start crying when you place that extra weight on the sled each round.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Unders: 1-3 sets here and definitely break if you feel your legs and arms starting to get wobbly.

Toes to Bar: Definitely break these up more than you think early on. 2-3 sets should be the goal while emphasizing big hips on each kip.

Dumbbell Snatch: Try unbroken if you can without blowing up your breathing and legs. Explode and breathe at the top of each rep.

Sled Push: It gets heavier every time. The goal should be 25-50ft without stopping. Don’t go too fast off the start and implode.
