TARGET SCORE

Target Time each set: sub 1 minute 30 seconds

Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 30 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS

Stimulus for workout is moderate/high intensity. Goal should be moving fast on these sets but have enough control over the pace to have similar times for each round..

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Assault bike: Low calories mean that we can push the pace on the bike. You should take into consideration that going “too hard” on the bike will result in extra fatigue on thrusters in the legs and difficulty jumping in the BBJO. Ramping up quickly for 3-4 seconds and then coasting down is always a popular and effective strategy. Goal should be to finish around 30-40 seconds while winding down the last 2-3 calories to allow for a quick transition..

Thrusters: Unbroken or bust is what the weight needs to be set at. Once we hop off the bike try and get to the dumbbells and move within 5-8 seconds. Breathe through each rep and explode out of the bottom with a strong punch and slight pause at the top. Squat clean the weights to get right into it.

Burpee Box Jump Overs: The icing on the cake. Stay with a consistent pace that isn’t max effort (due to repeated sets) and keep moving. Legs will be fatigued after bike and thrusters so be sure to jump high with every rep and breathe through the motion.

A great goal pace should be a set every 90 seconds or less.

TARGET SCORE

Target Time each set: sub 7 minutes

Time Cap each set: 9 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS

High Skill/ High Reps gymnastics mixed with barbell cycling makes for a nasty grip workout.

Be smart about when to start the set and adjust reps and weight as needed to maintain the stimulus.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Bar Muscle Ups: Make sure to chalk up before you jump up. Big and strong aggressive turnover is a must and look to pause at the top for a half a second with a loose/open grip to relieve some of the tension. “It’s all in the hips” so EXPLODE with every repetition.

Power Snatch/ Clean and Jerk: Weight is the same for both. Again make sure you are ready before picking the bar up and beginning the cycle. Keep the chest high and feet driving through the floor. Pause at the top of each rep and relax the grip to prolong grip fatigue. Time under tension is key so once you start keep the bar rolling and don’t stop cycling until you reach 10.

STIMULUS and GOALS

Another monday, another murph prep day.

This workout is a play on the workout “Angie” but, with a twist. We are completing it as an AMRAP and adding running as your “rest.”

This is all about managing the pull ups and not burning out. Be smart about sets and try and keep moving.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Pull Ups: Ideally we would want anything but singles. However, given the sheer volume if that’s what it takes to keep moving then you gotta do what you gotta do…

Push Ups: Like the pull ups sets should be small, quick with little rest. Avoid burning out by pushing through the struggle stage and rest before it’s too late. Also, always rest off the hands and shoulders. Use the clock to keep yourself on pace.

Sit Ups: We reached the point where all we want is non-stop movement. Use the hands and be aggressive with the throw while trying to keep a steady pace pushing through.

Air Squats: Like the sit ups the goal should be non-stop. The legs will get tight so keep a pace that does not put you at the risk of blowing up. Breathe through each rep and keep the chest high.
