Every 1:15 for 8 rounds:

  • 1 Slow Clean Pull + 1 Clean (position 3) + 2 Front Squats

Notes

Today’s strength is cleans. Every 1:15 you will perform one clean pull, one clean from position 2, and 2 front squats. You may build in weight or stay at the same weight across all 8 rounds.

The slow clean pull is your opportunity to drill your bar path. Focus on hitting positions 1, 2, and 3 cleanly, then driving vertically through extension. Keep the tempo slow, even through the extension to focus on your balance.

Be sure to make sure your bar path during the clean looks just like it did during the slow pull.

Split Jerk

  • Build to a heavy single with a :05 pause in receiving.
  • Drop 10-15% and do 2 sets of 1 with a :05 pause in receiving.

Notes

Today’s strength is split jerks. You will begin by building up to a heavy single with a :05 pause in the receiving position. After finding that heavy single, you will drop 10-15% and perform two more singles with a :05 pause.

Your heavy single for the day only counts if there is total control in during the :05 pause. If your press out or shuffle your feet in receiving the bar, drop down in weight to allow more precise footwork.

Notes

Bulgarian Split Squat Add weight to this exercise by holding dumbbells or kettlebells in a farmer’s carry. Focus on a long range of motion by sitting back and down as deep as you can into the squat.

Single Leg Box Jump. Jump and land on the same leg. Focus on keeping your knee in line with the toes on the take-off and the landing. Adjust the height to prioritize good jumping and landing mechanics.

Slider Lunge to Cossack Squat. If you struggle to hold good squat mechanics or balance through this movement, hold on to the rig or a PVC for balance.

Straddle Jefferson Curl. Keep this exercise very light. Curl from the neck down to the lower back. Let the weight help you stretch in the bottom.

Strength

3 Sets

  • Angled Wall Hold or Handstand Hold or Handstand Scissors x :20
  • Thoracic Rotation w/ Kettlebell Assist x 5/side
  • Bridge Push Up x 4 w/ :02 hold at top

Notes

Today we will be working on our handstands, shoulder mobility, and thoracic spine mobility. You will rotate through the three exercises for three working sets.

You have the option of performing an angled wall hold, handstand hold, or Handstand Scissors. The priority is first creating a stacked handstand position. If this can be done in an angled wall hold, progress to the handstand hold. If you have good strength in a wall-assisted handstand hold, progress to working on your balance with the scissors.

Thoracic Rotation w/ Kettlebell Assist Keep you elbow locked out as you support the weight overhead. Bending the top leg and rounding your lower back helps ensure the rotation comes from the thoracic spine and not the lower back.

Bridge Push Up Performing these from the floor will be very difficult. You can adjust these by elevating your feet on a box. You can also adjust this by holding the top position like this, though your hands may be higher off the ground.

Conditioning

Every 7:00 for 2 sets:

  • 90 Double Unders
  • 20-30 Calories

Notes

Today’s workout is 2 rounds of double unders, calories, and pull ups. You will complete a new round every 7-minutes. There is a 5-minute time cap on each round. Your score is the total time from both rounds.

The calories should take no longer than 1:30 to complete. Adjust the target number accordingly.

Aim to complete the pull ups in 2-minutes or less. You may substitute banded pull ups, jumping pull ups, or ring rows.
