2 Sets
3 Rounds
12 GHD Sit Ups (OR Toes to bar)
10m Dumbbell Walking Lunge (2×24/16kg)
36 Double Unders
-rest 3 minutes between sets-

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time each set: 3-4 minutes
Time Cap each set: 5 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! The Stimulus is moderate intensity. Aim to score similar times on both sets or get slightly faster on set 2. Reps are low, but volume will add up due to the multiple sets and rounds. It can be maintained with the smaller reps per round. Be efficient with transition times between movements.

How it should Feel: GASSY! All Gas, No Break, and don’t look back.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
GHD Sit Up: Nonstop is obvious, but it needs to be emphasized that this is the station where breathing needs to be controlled. Pause the top of each rep for a quick breath.

Double Dumbbell Walking Lunge: The weight is heavier than normal, but the distance is short. Make it the goal to pick up the dumbbells and complete them without stopping.
—-If you don’t have the space complete 8 lunges in place

Double Unders: Deep breath before starting and keep these unbroken. Since it’s a shorter rep count, don’t try to speed these up for the risk of tripping. Stay calm and lay your rope down every time to avoid a tangled mess.

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.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY into PAIN!!!! See how close you can get to the Games Athletes times. Don’t be last!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Echo Bike: You need to move here! It is only 45 calories total and one workout. This means you can open up hot and try to hang on! Do the 21 at 85-90% intensity, 15s at 90-95%, and 95%+ on the 9s!

10 Legless Rope Climbs

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7 – 70% – moderate intensity
Target Time: sub 20 minutes
Time Cap: 22 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! It’s just a straight-up ground-and-pound chipper. Pacing should be moderate (70%), allowing us to maintain a near non-stop effort until the end. We start with a moderate-distance row that primes our body, and then it’s time to roll up the sleeves and go to work.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! You don’t have to go crazy here; just stay calm and keep moving. The goal is minimal rest between movements and reps.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Moderate and steady effort (70-75%) to stay under 8:00/8:30. Coming out too hot will put you in a cardio deficit and mess up the pacing. Slow down the final 100m to get your heart rate under control.

Box Jump: Smooth and steady singles with little rest between reps. The box is higher, so be careful and jump with everything you have on each rep. No Rebounding!!!

Power Clean and Jerk: The weight is moderate (under 75% of 1RM), and singles are the only pace we want. Try to complete one rep every 8-12 seconds or faster.

Legless Rope Climb: Your arms will be too tight when you get here, so get one rep in early on. Then, try to gauge a pace that avoids muscle failure. It’s better to play it safe and take a little extra rest then rush into the climb and fail.

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.

Time Cap each set: 7 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! All legs grind through these 3 quad/hamstring pumping sets. Use the first set as a tester to see how the legs handle the load. Hold on through the next two sets and then sell out on the final.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Each station should allow you to move nonstop. Keep it controlled, or your legs will give out.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
GHD Sit Up: Work nonstop, with a slight pause at the top of each rep for a quick breath. Focus on being Beijing explosive with your arms and legs on each rep.

Wall Balls: We would love for these to be unbroken. Two sets are minimal if needed. Take an extra second before starting. Breathe through the motion and roll the arms out on every rep. Two sets are minimal if needed.

Run: Use the first 50m to recover the legs, then settle into a moderate-steady effort (75%) that doesn’t blow up your legs and lungs. Slow down the final 25-50m to prepare for the lunge.

Double Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunge: The weight selected should allow you to go unbroken. However, if breaking into quick 25-ft sections helps, then make the rest quick and move fast.

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 into CARDIO! It starts off feeling like a nice, sunny day stroll through the park, and then the clouds roll in, and the rain comes pouring down. You have to stay moving and work even when it’s a storm! This will be great conditioning work.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Really focus on using your total body (legs and arms together) while staying upright and controlling your breathing. During the rest, ensure to stand up and get your heart rate under control.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 6 minutes
Time Cap each set: 8 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into CHALLENGE! Pacing needs to be moderate and controlled across each workout. These three rounds continuously get tougher and will test your grip and upper body endurance through highly skilled gymnastics. Pacing needs to be strategic, with calculated breaks in the early rounds/workouts, to bank enough strength for the finale.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and/or GASSY! The first two workouts are your typical style and burners, while the final is pure grit and willpower.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Pacing should be moderate (75-80%) to finish under 70 seconds each time. Focus on a strong, aggressive leg/hip drive to remove tension from the upper body/arms. Breathe through each pull and slow down the final couple of calories.

Toes to Bar: Unbroken might seem like a good idea, but I promise you, it’s not. Break early and often to save your arms for the final three rounds.

Kipping Ring Muscle Up: The goal is ideally 1-2 sets throughout. Be smart on the finish.

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 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: 4-5 minutes
Time Cap each set: 6 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! We want a moderately high intensity on this 2-set couplet. Try and keep consistent round times to stay within the target time. This combo is trendy within programming, so let’s get to work.

How it should Feel:
GASSY! It’s like a match. Strike fast, hit it while it’s hot, and burn it down at the end.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bar Facing Burpees: Pacing should be steady and not over-paced. For the first 7-8 reps, we want to keep moving with little to no time spent on the ground. The final 2-3 reps should be tapered down to allow us to get our heart rate somewhat under control and get right to work on the bar.

Deadlift: Ideally under 60% of 1RM max for unbroken sets. I don’t care how bad it hurts. Hold on to the bar like your life depends on it.

Flow:
Complete set 1:
10 Bar Facing Burpees, 10 Deadlift, 10 Bar Facing Burpees, 10 Deadlift, 10 Bar Facing Burpees, 10 Deadlift.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 12 minutes
Time Cap: 15 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY and GRIND! This is a moderate to heavy weight, and we all want a good pump session with a hint of cardio. Pace it out on the 10-7, and after that, it’s smooth sailing. The rest should be between the movements, not during.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Be smart, don’t go to failure, and have fun!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Back Squat: Moderate-heavy weight under 70% of 1RM to stay unbroken through each set.

Bench Press: Same as the back squat, under 70% of 1RM. Don’t push yourself to failure and break before it breaks you.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high intensity
SCORE = total number of Clean and Jerks
Target Reps: 15+
Minimum Reps before scaling: 10

STIMULUS AND GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY The stimulus is moderate intensity throughout the workout. Be mindful of compounding midline fatigue from GHDs and the Handstand walk, and take an extra moment to recover before kicking up in a handstand after GHDs. Additionally, breathing is always a priority in any workout, but especially so for today due to being upside down for Handstand walking and GHDs.

How it should Feel: CARDIO and some MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! It’s a grind! Coming out hot will do you no good. Put your head down and go to work. We want at least 2+ minutes at the end for the cleans. That means have a game plan and know your pace you need and can achieve out of the gate.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike Erg: Pacing should be moderate, focusing on relaxing your arms and shoulders as much as possible. Don’t go crazy on the bike only to rock your lungs. Recover the first 200m and slow down the final 100m before exiting to help transition to the next station.

GHD Sit Up: Smooth and steady, pausing at the top of each rep to breathe. The goal should be near non-stop with an explosive leg and hip drive.

Handstand Walk: Distance is short and gets less each time, so the goal should be unbroken. Take a second before kicking up to get your head right after all the ghds.

Clean and Jerk: The weight should be moderately light (ideally under 70% of 1RM Power clean and jerk) so that smooth and steady singles can be completed in the remaining time.

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.
