Scaling:

Today’s workout is a grind. How far into the “pain cave” do you want to venture? There are two ways to attack this workout: Sprint each effort and bank as much rest as possible before the next interval, or move at a moderate pace and try to sneak by each minute. If you finish the round of 20, your workout is over.

Intermediate option:

30-20-10 reps for time of:

Burpees

Chest-to-bar pull-ups

Alternating dumbbell snatches

♀ 35 lb

♂ 50 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a fun triplet in which you’ll move quickly through a descending ladder. Your goal is to finish this workout in 15 minutes or less. Move as fast as you can through the round of 30 while still remaining consistent in the 20s; this should feel fast, but not like a full sprint.

The load of the dumbbell should allow you to maintain sets of 10 or more fast reps at a time with no more than 10-15 seconds of rest between sets.

Complete the chest-to-bar pull-ups in sets of 5+ to start. If that can't be done for the round of 30, reduce the volume to 15-12-9 and maintain 3+ reps at a time, OR scale to chin-over-bar or jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups.

Aim for consistency through the burpees with 10+ reps/minute. If needed, scale the volume of the entire workout to 21-15-9 to stay within the intended time domain.

Hang squat cleans

Post results to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s goal is to lift something heavy for 2 repetitions across 5 sets. Remember, heavy is relative to each individual's capacity, but regardless, each effort should require your full focus and attention. If you know your percentages, aim to keep all sets at or above 75% of your 1-rep-max clean. Continue to increase the load across as many sets as possible. Each set of 2 cleans must be completed unbroken and start from above the knee.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Complete both 800-meter runs in 5 minutes or less. However, don't crush yourself on the first run because you need to come back to the kettlebell and get right to work. The loading of the kettlebell should allow for 15-plus reps at a time. As for the lunges, keep moving and try to go unbroken. Get moving on your final run. Your legs will feel a little like Jell-O, but once you start moving, they’ll remember what to do.

Scaling:

Today's workout is a classic heavy day and an opportunity to move a little slower relative to the surrounding days. You should aim to lift a heavy load relative to your capacity. If you know your best deadlift single, start your first set of 5 at 70-75% or higher and try to add load to as many of the sets as possible.

Monday 240108

3 rounds for time:

15 hang power snatches

15 pull-ups

♀ 65 lb

♂ 95 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today's workout is short, intense, and grippy. The load of the barbell should be relatively light and allow you to hang on to potentially go unbroken in the first set. Try not to break any set more than once if needed. The pull-ups should feel more challenging than normal because of the pull in the snatches. Aim to complete the pull-ups in no more than 2 sets each round. This workout should be fast. Choose options that allow you to do more moving and less hook-gripping your shorts.

Intermediate option:

3 rounds for time:

15 hang power snatches

10 pull-ups
