STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into PAIN CAVE!! Everything is light, moveable, and doable for unbroken, non-stop effort. Use the time between movements for a quick rest and keep consistent round times across. Monitor your grip early on and break if needed to ensure consistency.

How it should Feel: GRIPPY and GASSY into PAIN!!!! When your not hold something, you better be shaking out your forearms.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Deadlift: Weight should be super light (under 35% of 1RM) where all sets could be completed unbroken, but it might be wise to break into 2 sets to help save your grip later in the workout.

Double Unders: Unbroken and lay your rope down every time to avoid a tangled mess.

Bodyweight Walking Lunge: This is the break of the workout for your arms, so enjoy it and move steadily through. Keep your hands relaxed! If you don’t have the space, complete 32 forward lunges in place.

Hang Power Clean: Same weight as the deadlift.

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.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! It is a nice, solid gymnastic upper-body pump that will slowly but surely break down your shoulders. We want you to work bigger sets of these gymnastic pieces so you can try and hang on longer and improve your movements with these in later workouts!

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Everything below your chest is going to feel lonely and left out. May want to sit in the ice bath upside down after.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Strict Chest to Bar Pull Ups: These are much harder than they look. Pull higher than seems necessary to start to avoid not getting the chest to the bar. 1-2 sets should always be the goal without resorting to singles.

Handstand Walk: Unbroken every time is what this is designed for!, So give a quick shake out of the arms before you kick up.

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: CHALLENGE into GRIND! moderate-high intensity. Move with purpose with a near non-stop effort. Purposeful breathing and controlling one’s heart rate on the bike are the keys to survival in this one. We’d love you to pace each 4 minute AMRAP with near identical efforts on pacing!

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! Legs and lungs are going to swell like balloons. Focus on breathing and focus on getting your heart rate back down going into the next set.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Flow
0:00 – 4:00 : As many rounds/reps of Bike Erg + Burpee Box Jump Overs (set 1 score)
4:00 – 6:00 : Complete Rest
6:00 – 10:00 : As many rounds/ reps of Row, DB Box Step Overs (set 2 score)
10:00 – 12:00 : Complete Rest
12:00 – 16:00 : As many rounds/reps of Bike Erg + Burpee Box Jump Overs (set 3 score)
16:00 – 18:00 : Complete Rest
18:00 – 22:00 : As many rounds/ reps of Row, DB Box Step Overs (set 4 score)

Calorie Row/Bike: Pacing on both should be moderately high (80%+) with the goal to finish under 45 seconds. Be sure to wind down the final 2 calories for a smoother transition.

Burpee Box Jump Over (OR Burpee to Target): Pacing should be smooth and steady where you can stay non-stop. Ideally, we don’t want to spike our heart rate any higher than it is here. So try to control your tempo, stay moving, and only push if the clock is winding down. If you have a target you can jump to then go for it! It’d be a nice change up for the workout today.

Single Dumbbell Box Step Overs: Same as the burpees, just stay smooth and steady. Stay low and try to keep moving with little stoppage on the turnaround. The goal should be unbroken through all sets.

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.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Sets are short, and the rest are even shorter. Stay upright during rest and focus on controlling your heart rate.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
SEE FLOW OF WORKOUT BELOW

Run: You know the drill on these. Stay moving and consistent. The goal should be under 50 seconds to finish the run. SUB FOR SHUTTLE RUN IS 20/16 CALORIES ON MACHINE

GHD Sit Up: Non-stop/unbroken is the only thing we want. Be aggressive with the arms and snap your hips on every rep.

Row: Like the shuttle run, we want to be aggressive and try to finish around the 60-second mark. Big, strong hip drive; remember to roll the arms up on the ascent.

Work for efficiency of each of your reps. Take a break, shake it out if needed and keep moving

TARGET SCORE
Target Rounds: 5+ Rounds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY!
You are looking at 50 reps of multiple movements plus the two carries. No need to go crazy here. Just settle into a moderate pace that keeps sets consistent and near non-stop. The rest should be between the stations, not during. Try and see if you can keep consistent round times across.

How it should Feel: CARDIO!
Just a good old-fashioned sweat-fest. Turn on some good tunes, put your head down, and go to work.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Hand Release Push Ups: Unbroken in a steady non-stop pace should be the approach here. Slow your tempo down with a quick break at the bottom if your arms begin to fatigue.

Dumbbell Snatches: Weight should be light where there is no hesitation going unbroken each set.

Lunges and Carry: Weight should be challenging but moveable for a steady walking pace. If you need to break, get at least 10m before stopping.

Toes to Ring: These should be unbroken every set. Settle into a good rhythm and let your hips do the work.

Wall Balls: Focus on smooth and steady reps while breathing through the motion for unbroken sets.

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 Time each set: sub 2 minutes 30 seconds
Time Cap each set: 3 minutes 30 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Grab a partner and attack these 4 sets moderately-highly while aiming to get faster across sets. Approach the first set at a Test Pace and then slowly start to speed it up with faster transitions.

How it should Feel: GASSY! And GRIPP! Up and down on the ropes will attack your shoulders and grip like they went into a meat mixer. Shake it out during the rest, and don’t be afraid to change the order on the climbs.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Unders: Unbroken is the goal but 2, quick sets might be a good safety net to save your grip enough to sustain intensity.

Pull Ups/ Rope Climbs: 1 rep back and forth is the easiest way, But if you are up to the challenge, try 2’s. Don’t add more reps if this causes longer rest periods between one another.

How it should Feel: GRIPPY! And CARDIO! Multiple sets of all-pulling will get tough. Still, the short reps/sets are just enough to keep you honest and moving. The rest will come before it really gets tough!

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND into CHALLENGE! Ensure you hydrate well before this one and call your wife, parents, loved ones, whoever because you will be working late. Workout is a long, low-moderate intensity into a push effort when the end approaches. Work and strategize to improve on this repeat!

How it should Feel: CARDIO! There was no reason to stop, so put the headphones in and kept chipping away. Try not to over-push off the start. Save that for the last leg of the run; then, you can drop the hammer.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Burpee to Target: Smooth and steady while aiming to complete 10-15+ reps every minute. Stay calm and strong!

Row: Bigger effort here where the first quarter can be recover/build up and then increased through the final 100m.

Run: Come out somewhat aggressive, then really kick it up when you are 400m+. You have to get mentally tough here and make those legs move for a PR!.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
