Scaling:

Reduce the reps of shuttle runs in order to keep that portion under 5 minutes. If you are new to the rope climb, watch The Rope Climb (Basket) and The Rope Climb (Wrapping) and practice the wrapping styles, but consider modifying the movement for the workout. If you do not have access to a climbing rope, the towel pull-up is a comparable option. Reduce the load on the bench press in order to perform large sets.

Chelsea

Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes perform:

5 pull-ups

10 push-ups

15 squats

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 30 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you've finished the workout before, this time add 1 rep to each exercise — i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute — and see if you can go the full 30 minutes.

Post results to comments.

Compare to 211014.



Scaling:

For intermediate athletes, this benchmark has a built-in scale by requiring you to continue after you fail to meet the interval. Newer athletes should modify the movements and reps but try to maintain a similar interval structure.

Beginner Option:

Every minute on the minute for 20 minutes perform:

3 jumping pull-ups

6 knee push-ups

9 squats

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 20 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

Sunday 230326

Dumbbell clean and jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Deadlift 5-5-3-3-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.

Similar to 130419 and 221217.



Scaling:

Go as heavy as possible on the dumbbell clean and jerks. For the deadlifts, pick loads that allow you to attempt a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing heavy deadlifts, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.

Beginner Option:

Dumbbell clean and jerk 5-5-5-5-5

Deadlift 5-5-3-3-3
