Conditioning
With a partner, complete 3 sets each:
3 Rounds
- 10 Weighted Step Ups
- 10 Dumbbell Bench Press
5:00 time cap per partner per set
Notes
Today’s conditioning is alternating sets of step ups and dumbbell bench press to be done with a partner. Partner 1 will begin by completing 3 rounds of 10 step ups and 10 bench press. Then partner 1 will rest while partner 2 completes 3 rounds of step ups and bench press. This pattern will continue until both partners have completed 3 sets of 3 rounds.
The step ups should be at a moderate weight that allows you to complete the 10 reps without putting the weights down. You may weight the step ups any way you like. We recommend two dumbbells in the farmer’s carry. They can be, but don’t have to be, the same weight used for the dumbbell bench press.
The dumbbell bench should be done with weights that allow you to maintain unbroken sets of 10. This is a light-moderate weight. The first few rounds shouldn’t feel too difficult, but the overall volume will make the last few rounds more challenging.
