At Home Strength

5 Rounds

  • :20 Max Strict Pull Ups
  • :20 Max Push Ups

1:00 Rest

Notes

Today’s strength is push ups and pull ups. You will complete as many pull ups as you can in :20, then immediately move to the push ups and work for :20. There is 1:00 rest between rounds.

The pull ups should be done without coming off the bar. If you do not have a pull up bar, you can perform any variation of a row. Check out this video for some options.

You should be able to work continuously for the :20 of push ups. Elevate your hands if needed.

At Home Conditioning

Every 3:00 for 7 rounds:

  • 12 Dumbbell snatch
  • 6 Lateral burpees over the dumbbell
  • 12 Reverse lunges with dumbbell in front rack
  • 6 Lateral burpees over the dumbbell

Score is slowest round.

Notes

Today’s workout is 7 rounds of a quick interval. You complete a new round every 3:00 and your score is the slowest round. Adjust the number of reps or lower the weight so that you get at least :30 rest between rounds.

The dumbbell snatches should be unbroken, although it is only 12 reps so don’t choose something too light. If you are doing kettlebell snatches, switch arms after 6 reps.

The burpees should be done quickly. Stay low and move smoothly. If 12 is going to take you longer than about :40, cut the number down.

The reverse lunges should be done quickly, but still maintaining a soft touch of the knee each rep. Adjust the weight accordingly.

At Home Strength

5 Sets:

  • 6 Odd Object Squats

Rest 1:00 between sets

Notes

Today’s strength is squats. You will hold an odd object in a front rack or as a chest hold. Find something heavy. For a chest hold squat, use a sandbag, seabag, or fill a backpack with heavy textbooks. If you have kettlebells perform front rack squats. Get creative today. If you do not have anything heavy, perform these reps with a :05 descent each.

At Home Conditioning

For time:

  • 100 Toes to Bar or Sit Ups

Every 1:00, including at 0:00, complete:

  • 10 Jump Squats
  • 10 Shoulder to Overhead

10:00 time cap

Notes

Today’s conditioning is a task priority with a 10 minute time cap. Your score is how long is takes you to complete 100 toes to bar or sit ups, or how many reps you have completed at the 10 minute time cap. Every minute you will stop working on the toes to bar or sit ups and complete 10 jump squats and 10 shoulder to overhead. Then continue to work on the sit ups until the top of the next minute.

You will most likely have around :20-30 every minute to work on toes to bar or sit ups. In order to finish, choose a variation of toes to bar, knee raises, or sit ups that allows you to maintain sets of 10 reps.

The jump squats should be done quickly. When you land, sink down into the next squat without any extra pause.

The shoulder to overhead should be a light weight that allows you to complete all 10 reps unbroken, across every round. Check out this video for some different variations.

The calories should take no longer than :30 to complete. Adjust the number down accordingly. If you do not have a machine, set up a 10m lane for a shuttle run. You will run 10m out and 10m back five times. This should also not take longer than :30.

The burpees should take no longer than :12 to complete. If you do not have a box, find something to jump completely over.
