Tuesday 240305

7 sets for load of the complex:

4 hang squat cleans

2 push presses

Post total load to comments.

Scaling:

We are going heavy in today’s workout. Remember, heavy is relative to each athlete’s capacity. This complex is meant to be performed unbroken — once the barbell is picked up, it does not return to the ground until the complex is complete or you fail the set. Remember, a failed set still counts as an attempt. Athletes should continue to add load across as many sets as possible as long as technique remains solid.

Saturday 240302

With a pair of dumbbells, 4 rounds for time of:

50-meter weighted lunge

350-meter farmers carry

♀ 30-lb dumbbells

♂ 45-lb dumbbells

Compare to 210313.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Expect this workout to be a grind and taxing on your grip. Carry the dumbbells however you’d like on the weighted lunges — consider the front-rack position, resting the dumbbells on the shoulders, or the farmers-carry position as potential options. Reduce the dumbbell load to move with limited rest on both movements. If you don’t have dumbbells or kettlebells available, load the lunges and carries with a 30/45-lb ruck or backpack. There are no excuses. If possible, consider performing this workout on a 400-meter track.

Intermediate option:

Today is a moderately long endurance-focused workout. Maintain a consistent pace on the rower and push the pace on the run.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a classic heavy day. Even though most athletes can perform this workout as prescribed, the challenge lies in the technical complexities of the movements. Adding load should be based on your ability to stay mechanically sound. Each athlete, regardless of experience, should focus on technique before adding load.

Monday 240226

For time:

30 deadlifts

60 toes-to-bars

30 front squats

♀ 125 lb

♂ 185 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s chipper-style workout should be treated like a sprint. Complete each movement in as few sets as possible. The load of the barbell is moderate, however, the deadlift will feel much lighter than the front squats. Athletes using the prescribed weight should be able to perform at least 10 reps at a time. Go unbroken on the deadlifts if you can — this will really spice things up. Grind through as many front squats as possible because the more you drop it, the more you’ll have to pick it up again. Stick to a number of toes-to-bars that allows you to rest minimally between sets. Consider consistent sets of 5-10 reps with 10-15 seconds of rest between each set.

Intermediate option:

For time:

30 deadlifts

60 knees-to-armpits

30 front squats

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Calorie row

Burpee pull-ups

*Pull-up bar 6 inches from fingertips with arms overhead.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a burner and there is no reason to stop moving. Experienced athletes should sell their sousl on the rower and hold their heads above water on the burpee pull-ups. Beginner athletes should pace the row and move consistently on the burpee pull-ups. To make the burpee pull-ups easier, use a bar closer to your fingertips when arms are overhead, allowing you to perform more of a jumping pull-up.

Intermediate option:

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Calorie row

Burpee pull-ups

*Pull-up bar 1 inch from fingertips with arms overhead.

Beginner option:

15-12-9 reps for time of:

Calorie row

Burpee pull-ups

*Pull-up bar between forearm and elbow with arms overhead.
