15 Pistols/ 2 x DB Reverse Lunges 7+7
*Rest 3min between sets.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 3 minutes 30 seconds
Time Cap each set: 4 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Come out moving with a high-intensity through this multiple-set gymnastic chipper. The first two movements are upper-body dominant, and then it flips into all legs. The first set should be a little light on the pace, and then start to ramp it up until selling out on the final. Be aggressive on transitions with a slight hesitation going to the handstand push-ups, as this will have the highest potential for muscle failure.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! Total body on this workout, so be ready to roll out everything.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ring Muscle Up: The goal is unbroken across all sets, so be explosive on your Kip. To start, do two sets at most. Otherwise, scale back the number.

Wall Facing Strict Handstand Push Ups: unbroken is the goal here as well, but don’t force if only to reach failure. Be smart and breathe through the motion.

Shuttle Run: just stay moving and don’t sprint, but don’t slack off. (80-85% pacing)

Pistol Squat: keep moving and be safe on these. Make sure you meet the standards on every rep.

PART B: Strength & Skill

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7 – 70% – moderate intensity
Target Time: sub 22 minutes
Time Cap: 30 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! It’s smooth and steady with a slight push-pace effort on the bike. After that, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and go to work. This is all grunt work, and you just need to know your limits and when to break to avoid long rest periods.

How it should Feel: CARDIO and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! After the leg pump on the bike it switches to heavy breathing, broken-down shoulders and swelling forearms.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike Erg: This is a moderate push-pace effort with a heavy emphasis on relaxing your upper body and grip. Slow down the final 100m to get your heart rate under control.

Sandbag Bear Hug Carry or Double Kettlebell Front Rack Carry: Unbroken should be the goal on all descending distances. Get some chalk and find a comfortable hold that allows you to breathe. Steady steps and rest in transition before and after the carry.

Handstand Walk: if you got it in you then unbroken is what we are looking for. Take an extra second before flipping up. If you can’t do unbroken, then just chip away at it and aim to finish in consistent chunks each set.

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

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 15 minutes
Time Cap 18 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This is a gritty mix of conditioning, gymnastics, and midline endurance. You can push the pace a little early on and then settle into a nice groove once you hit the GHD Sit Ups. From there you are just going to want to chip away at the movements and reps.

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! This is a midline- and stamina-heavy workout with big demand on grip and muscular fatigue. Pace smart, stay efficient, and don’t redline too early!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski/Row: The Ski/Row should be a steady, moderate effort, not a sprint. This should feel tough but sustainable, keeping your heart rate elevated but not spiking.

Box Jump: Smooth and steady , no rebounding and just focus on being explosive with little rest between reps.

Rope Climb: Big jump every time and focus on using the legs before the arms.

GHD Sit Up: Use this as the area to get your heart rate under control. Non-stop, but smooth and controlled with a slight pause at the top to breathe.

Wall Balls: Only area of the workout where you will likely have multiple breaks. Breathe through the motion and don’t get caught resting more than 15-seconds.

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

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This is a moderate-intensity workout. The goal is to challenge your upper body pushing and pulling strength while also working on muscular endurance. Try to repeat efforts on sets consistently. Don’t go to failure.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! You should feel a deep muscular fatigue by the end of each set, but there shouldn’t be an overwhelming cardiovascular burn like in high-intensity metabolic conditioning.’

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bench Press: Weight should moderate (under 65% of 1RM) where sets can be and stay unbroken across. Don’t go to failure, make sure you are ready before unracking the weight.

Strict Pull Up: 2-3 sets should be the goal. We’d love not dropping to singles today.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! You’re aiming for an easy-to-moderate pace. The key here is to find a rhythm that lets you sustain energy throughout the workout without blowing yourself up too early. Use the first round to establish your pace and then settle into something comfortable. We want recovery and blood flow today more than anything else.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! By the end of the 30 minutes, you should feel like you’ve gotten in a good, solid workout with a bit of fatigue, but nothing that should leave you exhausted for the rest of your day. The key is to maintain energy for the full 30 minutes

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 1 minute 30 seconds
Time Cap each set:: 2 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Sustain consistency across all 6 sets. The goal is to manage fatigue rather than redline early. This workout is designed to test upper body pulling and pressing stamina, with a mix of grip endurance, coordination, and midline stability. The double unders elevate the heart rate, while the dumbbell bench press and rope climbs create a push-pull challenge for the shoulders, arms, and core.

How it should Feel: GASSY and GRIPPY! Grip will be on fire, and pressing will feel heavy. The challenge is maintaining rope climb efficiency while keeping double unders unbroken despite increasing fatigue. The short rest (1:1) means your heart rate will likely stay elevated, forcing you to recover quickly before the next set.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Under: Unbroken is the aim! Keep a relaxed grip to avoid premature forearm burnout before the rope climbs.

Dumbbell Bench Press: Weight is moderately heavy but reps should be smooth and controlled, ideally unbroken in early rounds. Later rounds may require a quick break.

Legless Rope Climb / Rope Climb: Stay efficient, and use a controlled descent to save grip. If legless climbs break down, adjust to regular climbs to maintain intensity.

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.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Move efficiently, breathe through transitions, and stay composed when it gets tough. The final portion will test your mental and physical grit! Each segment increases in weight while decreasing in reps, demanding strength, and control under fatigue.

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Shoulders, legs, and lungs will be taxed — this is a grind, so focus on smart pacing and smooth transitions.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Power Snatch: Weight is light, so aim for touch-and-go reps. Hook grip and relax at the top to keep grip manageable. This should be under 60% of 1RM Power Snatch.

Overhead Squat (from the floor): Unbroken! Squat snatch right into the first rep, breathe through the motion and don’t stop moving. This should be under 60% of 1RM Overhead Squat.

Squat Snatch: Singles with focus on smooth movement rather than speed. Smooth is fast means you will stay moving fast by being smooth! This should be under 70% of 1RM Snatch.

Bar Facing Burpees / Burpee Box Jump Over / Burpee Box Get Overs: Be smooth and steady on these while focusing on keeping your heart rate under control. Slow down the final 2 reps before transitioning back to the bar. Sell out the final round of each set.
