For load:
Every 2:00 for 8 sets:
2 back squats)
7 sets:
2 clean pulls
1 power clean
– In today’s strength session, build to a heavy set of the complex.
– For all three lifts, feel free to re-grip at the bottom and take a moment to reset yourself. Do not treat these sets as touch-and-go reps.
– Aim to finish your final set around 90%+ of your best 1-rep power clean.
Every 3:00 for 5 sets:
15 weighted hip extensions (25/45 lb)
100-ft sandbag carry (100/150 lb)
– Choose a load on the hip extensions that allows you to perform each set unbroken.
– The sandbag carry should be heavy. Hold the sandbag against your chest/stomach as you walk. Reduce the loading as needed. If the Rx’d loading isn’t heavy enough, feel free to go heavier.
– Substitute the sandbag for a double-KB front rack carry.
6 sets:
5 toes-to-bars
4 gymnastics kipping pull-ups
3 bar muscle-ups
– Rest as needed between sets.
– In this skill session, the goal is to perform all 12 reps without coming down from the bar. Rest as much as needed between sets to maintain this stimulus.
– If necessary, reduce the reps to 4/3/2 or 3/2/1 depending on your capacity.
– Notice the similarities in the kip swing. If you don’t actively press down into the bar in your backswing and/or push away from the top of each rep, expect some difficulty.
AMRAP 30:
Max calorie row
– Starting at 0:00 and every 3:00 perform 10 burpees.
– Aerobic capacity and mental resiliency workout.
– Target 15-20 calories each minute for men. 10-15 calories each minute for women.
– Finish the burpees in :45 or less.
– Transition quickly on and off the rower. Don’t spend time strapping and unstrapping your feet in the rower.

– STRENGTH I –
For load:
Every 2:00 for 8 sets:
2 back squats
– Increase loading across as many sets as possible, holding the same weight for a few sets is totally acceptable.
– Focus on a controlled descent followed by a rapid drive out of the bottom of each rep.
– Shy away from loads that cause you to « grind » out the rep. Instead, focus on your speed out of the bottom. Once you start grinding, the weight is too heavy for this session.
