300-400 m run (together)
80 DB front rack reverse lunges
300-400 m run (together)
80 burpee box jump overs
300-400 m run (together)
80 DB front squats
300-400 m run (together)

*30 minute cap*

Notes

Today’s partner workout is a chipper of running, DB lunges, burpee box jump overs, and DB squats. Your score is the time it takes to complete all of the reps, or the number of reps completed before the 30 minute time cap.

The runs will be done together. You and your partner cannot begin the next movement until both of you have returned from the run. The runs should not take longer than 2:30 across the workout.

The dumbbell weight should be light-moderate so that the lunges and squats could be split into at least 10 reps at a time. Alternate legs with each rep of the lunges.

Choose a safe height for the burpee box jump overs that allows you to move without hesitation. You may split these reps up however you like.

Strength

Deadlift @20X1

4 sets of 8-10 reps with :90 of active rest in between sets

Notes

Today’s strength is deadlifts. You will complete 4 working sets of 8-10 reps. Every rep will be performed touch-and-go style. This means you will have a :02 negative, a light tap against the ground before exploding up, and :01 pause at lockout. You will use the same weight for all working sets. The goal is to complete 10 reps at the prescribed tempo for all 4 working sets. If you accomplish that, the following week you will use a slightly heavier weight. Here is an example of how this could look in practice:

Week 1: 100×10, 100×10, 100×10, 100×9
Week 2: 100×10, 100×10, 100×10, 100×10
Week 3: 105×10, 105×10, 105×10, 105×10
Week 4: 110×9, 110×9, 110×9, 110×9
Etc…

The time between sets will also be controlled. We will take :90 seconds of active rest between sets. To make the rest active, simply walk around the room or bike at an easy pace for :90 seconds until it is time for you to lift again. If you are partnered with someone using a different weight, you can count the time it takes to change weights toward your active rest.

Conditioning

21-15-9

hang squat cleans

pull ups

*10 minute cap*

Notes

Today’s metcon is a descending ladder of hang squat cleans and pull ups. You will perform 21 hang squat cleans followed by 21 pull ups and then 15 hang squat cleans and 15 pull ups. You will finish with 9 hang squat cleans and 9 pull ups. Your score is the time it takes you to finish this couplet or the number of reps completed at the 10 minute cap.

The hang squat cleans should be done at a moderate weight so that the set of 21 and 15 can be done in no more than 3 sets. Pull ups can be modified with banded pull ups, jumping pull ups, or ring rows. You should complete the set of 21 and 15 pull ups in no more than 3-4 sets.
