TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: 5-6 minutes
Time Cap each set: 7 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Grab a partner and see who will go into that dark place with you repeatedly. Communicate and strategically split up calories and reps that allow both to shine. The goal is not to beat your partner down while you look like the hero. Work together!

How it should Feel: GASSY! Push through the cardio and see if you have enough in the tank for one big set on the muscle-ups.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run: This is the only part together, so come up with a pace where both of you can push but don’t go into the ski completely gassed. The goal should be sub 2 minutes on the run.

Double Unders: Sustain a high effort.

Bar Muscle Ups: 1 set each should be the goal (10/10), but if one partner feels they need two sets, they should start first (5/10/5).

Strength & Skill
EMOM 8 Minutes
6 Power Snatches (115/80) or 45-50% 1RM Power Snatch

Target score
Weight/load is your score.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY. We want smooth reps that you can work on barbell technique while getting in volume.
How it should Feel: Muscular Endurance and/or Grippy & Gassy. The reps will add up and you will experience some fatigue but it should be manageable.

STIMULUS and GOALS
Power Snatches: We are working on building Power Snatch capacity at a light weight. Touch’n go reps or quick singles are acceptable today depending on what you are comfortable with at this load.

SCALING
The SCALING aim is to use a weight you can keep smooth and use the associated percentages to scale the weight down as needed!

Scaling option to finish near the target weights/percentages:

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.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.

WOD:

50 V Ups
50 Wall Balls (10/9)
25 Shuttle Runs (20 m)

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 12 minutes
Time Cap: 15 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! The stimulus for today’s workout is moderately high pacing through these high-rep stations. We are in it for the long haul, so focus on keeping the heart rate and pacing under control early to avoid negative pacing as they get over halfway (V-Ups). Attack the wall balls.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! This is another grit and grind test for us as we build volume on wall balls. Again, challenge yourself to keep bigger sets rather than settling for smaller sets with multiple breaks.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Shuttle Runs: Down 10m and back 10m is one rep. Aim for a controlled push-pace effort here that is aggressive but not overbearing. Keep the arms loose and slow down the final 2-3 reps to prep for the wall balls. If you push the first set too hard, you will suffer tremendously through the wall balls. The last set is what every effort you have left.

Wall Balls: 1-2 sets are all we ask for here, so don’t get to the wall ball feeling sorry for yourself. Calm yourself before starting, and breathe through every rep.

V-Up: These are definitely underrated and should be approached in fast, quick sets (3-5 sets).

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE!
We aim to sustain a moderately fast, repeatable pace across the five sets.This combination is designed to attack your lunges and make the high rep double unders even more challenging under heavy fatigue. It’s up to you to control your breathing early on and during the rest to survive and possibly improve times across.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Up, down, up, down is what will happen to your body and heart rate. Be careful on the first set, and then see if you can hold or improve as it goes on.

ROW/ RUN/ ERG should be approached the same from the start. Ramp it up for 2-3 calories and settle into a moderate push-pace effort (80%). . Make sure you Push all the way through on the second bike to end the set on a strong note. The goal should be sub-50 seconds

Double Unders: Unbroken, take a few seconds after the bike, get a deep breath in you, and see if it’s possible. After the set or during the break, ensure the rope is set up for the next 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
Target Rounds: 3+
Minimum Rounds before scaling: 2

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! The stimulus moderate and steady pace across. The name of this game is smartly managing breaks and transitions. Rounds are long; try to stay consistent while using the time between stations as rest. This workout is a test of strength, along with strategy, as it requires a lot more from the body than pure strength.

How it should Feel: GRIND into CARDIO! Monitor your grip and heart rate early on so similar pacing can be held across rounds and reps.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike Erg: Pacing should be moderately-high (80%+) while aiming to wind down the final 100m. Focus on relaxing your shoulders and grip while using your bodyweight to help drive down on the pedals.

Overhead Dumbbell Walking Lunge: Weight will make this challenging, but regardless the goal should be unbroken 25ft sections across all sets. Press hard through the lunge and breathe at the top of each rep.

—if you don’t have the space to complete 50ft, complete 16 Overhead Forward Lunges in place.

Toes to Bar: The goal should be 2-3 sets and we definitely recommend breaking into multiple sets sooner than later.

Burpee Over Dumbbell: Steady amd smooth pacing across these long sets. No need to go crazy only to but yourself in a cardio deficit.

Dumbbell Snatch: Heavier weight so don’t try to force an unbroken set only to be stuck over resting. Maybe 2-3 quick sets will be better for consistency.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! You only got 3:00 minutes to get through a short, push pace row and up tempo box jump overs only to be rewarded with squats. We will alternate the ending between Overhead and front squats on every set. Regardless of the ending the pacing should aggressive and consistent across.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! Let’s be real here, this workout is going to blow your legs up. It’s up to you on how deep into that pain cave you are willing to go to get the desired score.. Stay moving with a controlled effort while using the time between movements to get a quick rest.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Distance is short and effort should be moderately fast (80%+). Don’t come out sprinting on this only to put your lungs and legs in a deficit. Slow down the final 50m and focus on breathing through each pull. The goal should be sub 55 seconds.

Box Jump Overs: Pacing needs to be aggressive through these so stay low and try to minimize pause longer than 2-3 seconds between reps.

Overhead Squats (taken from the ground), Front Squats (taken from the ground): Weight is the same for both squat portions so make sure it’s something that you feel comfortable hitting for 15+ reps.

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 9 minutes
Time Cap: 14 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! Stimulus is high intensity. We have light thrusters paired with high-rep double and single unders. We want to challenge everyone to push and not set the bar or rope down when the first discomfort comes. Don’t settle for small sets with multiple breaks. Purposeful and consistent breathing while keeping the pace steady and not rushed will help you avoid blowing up.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! Suck it up and keep fighting until the end. It is designed to take your legs and lungs, use the time between movements for longer breaks, and keep attacking.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Unders: If you can complete these unbroken without it hindering your ability to attack the thrusters, then go for it! If you know that your heart rate will spike, then aim to break it up into 2-3 quick sets. The final set should be pushed for unbroken, or as close as possible.

Thrusters: Very lightweight here. You should be able to do 25+ unbroken when fresh, so be explosive and pause at the top of each rep for a split second, when necessary, to breathe for a moment. Be smooth through these to keep your heart rate under control.

Single Unders: These should be completed in 1-2 sets. Much less stress on the body here, so try to relax and settle into a steady rhythm.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! And consistent effort across each station. This workout is going to be a long haul with a lot of highs and lows. Some areas have you working briefly while others leave you grinding through the entire 60-seconds. Regardless, give yourself a 5-second window to transition to the next station.

How it should Feel: CARDIO and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Volume is moderately high while you cycle through this for six rounds. Control your breathing and use that recovery bike to reset.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
American Kettlebell Swing: The weight is heavy, but it should still be completed unbroken. Be aggressive with your hip drive and breathe consistently at the top of each rep.

Single Arm Kettlebell Suitcase Carries: Unbroken 50ft section is the standard. Keep your core tight and try not to over-lean to the side.

Strict Cindy: You have to be aggressive through this station. The time frame is tough to finish within the minute, so try to complete the pull-ups/push-ups as close to unbroken as possible to maintain speed.

V-Ups: One set max unbroken! That is it. Give it a good effort each minute then rest til the next movement.

Recovery Bike: Enjoy the ride here. Keep the wheels turning at a very slow and steady pace. The focus here is all about getting the heart rate back down. Keep the hands loose to prepare for the swings.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into SPRINT! Three quick chippers where intensity and pacing need to be high. Each one starts with a nice primer on the ergs/bike, then the middle is where the money is made. Survive that, and then it is all grip and grinds through the final station.

How it should Feel: GASSY and/or MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! This three-part workout analogy is like the movie “Old Yeller.” At first, everything is going well and as expected, but then a dog shows up and adds chaos to your life, which you learn to love. Just when you think things are settling down, a rabid wolf suddenly attacks and takes everything you hold dear, leaving you with the responsibility of finishing the job. I hope this explanation helps, although it might sound a bit strange. – Darren Hunsucker

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row/Echo Bike: Pacing here is fast but controlled (80-85%) and should not be a sprint due to the high demand for breathing coming after. Make sure to throttle down the final 2-3 calories for a smooth transition. Be sure to relax your grip as much as possible.

Single Arm Kettlebell Clean and Push Press – can also Push Jerk!: Weight is moderate be challenging but doable for bigger sets since you can alternate arms and use those hips.

Box Jump Over: Legs will be tired, and the box will be higher than normal. Take that first jump very cautiously and jump with all your might. Settle into a smooth pace that’s as close to nonstop as possible.

Lateral Burpee over Rower: Parallel to the rower, stay low and stay moving. Don’t sprint through it, be steady and breathe.

Rope Climb: Big jump every time and focus on using your legs before your arms. Try to complete one climb every 15-20 seconds.

Ring Muscle Up / Bar Muscle Ups: The goal should be 1-3 sets on these. Don’t hop on the rings until you know you are ready to knock out a good chunk of the reps.

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
Target Time each set: 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 30 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! These sets are meant to be aggressive and consistent. Approach the first 2 sets with a slightly slower pace than planned to feel out the combination. After you style in then, it’s all about hanging on while trying to improve building to the final set. Between alternating rounds on the barbell movements and the upper body under constant tension, you will have your work cut out for you today!

How it should Feel: GRIPPY & GASSY! Keep everything reasonably close so there is no excuse to take longer walking breaks.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Toes to Bar: Unbroken! Don’t even think about coming off that bar. Be aggressive with your hips. (If you get smoked and need to break, then aiming for 2 sets is ideal, 3 at most!)

Handstand Walk: Unbroken! Take deep breaths and dive right into it.

Ground to Overhead – Power Snatch / Power Clean + Push Jerk: Weight is light (ideally under 50% of 1RM power snatch) and should allow for sets to be completed unbroken across most to all of the workout. This will be the difficult part of the workout as it goes on, so be smooth with the bar and breathe through the motion.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! This is just a solid cardio session through and through. Pacing should be moderate and only pushed during the final station before the rest. Come out with a “Test Pace” and see how the body reacts.

How it should Feel: GASSY into CARDIO! Just stay moving! It’s only a minute’s effort on each station.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run/ Row/ Bike Erg & Ski Erg: Pacing on the ergs should be moderate to moderate-high effort. On the bike, focus on staying upright and using your body weight to help drive down on the pedals. For the Ski, breathe through the motion with a strong, aggressive hip drive.

Burpee Box Jump Over: Move with purpose here, not all out, but steady without over-resting. Take a slight pause at the bottom and use momentum to carry up an over.
