Notes

Today’s team workout will be done in teams of 2. You will start with 4 rounds of calories and burpee pull ups. You and you partner will start on opposite movements and you will not switch until both of you have completed the calories and burpee pull ups, respectively. You will continue in this fashion until you each have completed 4 rounds of the couplet. After the 4 rounds, you will complete the lunges opwaat style. The 4 rounds of calories and V-ups will be done in the same fashion as the first 4 rounds. You will end your workout with 50 [manmakers  opwaat style.

Calories should take no longer than about 1:00. You may decrease the number of calories to 10-12 if this pace sounds overly aggressive.

Burpee pull ups should take no longer than about a minute as well. You may decrease the reps, or substitute 10 burpees to a target instead.

You will use the same dumbbell weight for the reverse lunges and the manmakers. Choose your weight based on which movement will limit you the most (probably the manmakers. The weight should allow you to complete at least 10 lunges unbroken and 1-3 manmakers.

Wall balls should be done in 1-2 sets. If you feel comfortable with wall balls, it is encouraged that you try a heavier weight than you normally would.

Strength

Deadlift

3-5 sets of 1-2 reps @ 11×1 tempo

Perform 8-10 prone shoulder flexion raises between working sets

Notes

If you have been consistent with deadlifting this cycle and were here for last week’s session then you may build across your working sets to a heavy single today.

If you have not been consistent with deadlifting this cycle or missed last week’s session then you should perform all of your working sets at the same weight and should aim for sets of 2 if possible.

11×1 means these will be deadstop reps where you will ensure you have created tension by pulling the slack out of the bar at the bottom of each rep. Dropping the bar from lockout will be considered a no rep. However, you do not need to slow the tempo down on the descent. Simply let gravity do the work while you maintain proper posture and a full grip on the bar.

1 – 30 dubs + 5 burpees
2 – 8 DB box step ups (one DB)

The metcon today is an EMOM with double unders, burpees, dumbbell box step ups, and calories.

Double unders should take no longer than :25 to complete. You may lower the number of double unders or go to singles. Burpees should be done at a smooth pace. If you think 5 will take longer than about :20, you may lower the number of burpees to 3-4.

Your dumbbell box step ups will be performed with one dumbbell. You may hold the dumbbell however you want. Choose a moderately heavy weight that still allows you to complete the reps unbroken.

Calories should take no longer than :45. You may lower the number of calories to 10-12 if this pace sounds overly aggressive.

Strength

3 sets not for time

1-4 rope climbs in 1:00
real push up walk x 10-20 m
hollow body planche press 8-10 + :10-20 hold at 45 degree angle

Notes

Stay safe on the rope climbs. Only climb higher than 5′ up the rope if you were able to complete the rope climb safety test. You may substitute modified rope climbs, rope knee raises, or a combination of the two.

For the rear push up hold walk, try to perform an equal amount forwards and backwards. make sure your triceps are what is being worked here. If you are unable to perform this variation you can stick with a :30-:45 rear push up hold instead. For both variations, focus on keeping a full lockout of the elbow.

Try the hollow body planche press from a bench elevated onto boxes to allow for a stretch in the bottom. If you are new to the movement, start light. As you become comfortable with the stretch you may go heavier. Scale the hollow position as necessary to complete the prescribed reps.

If you have been consistent with the bench press during this cycle and were here for last week’s session then you may build across your working sets to a heavy paused single.

If you missed last week’s benching or are not feeling up to a heavy attempt today then you should perform all of your working sets at the same weight, and do 2 reps with a pause on the first rep each set.

For the straddle ups, elevate your hips if necessary to facilitate the movement, but try to work towards lower or no hip elevation over time.
