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.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a short sprint of pure grunt work. The calories on the bike are meant to be completed as fast as possible with the first set taking no more than 90 seconds. The sandbag should be moderately heavy. If you don’t have a sandbag, substitute a heavy D-ball or a barbell power clean (125/185 lb). The goal is to finish between 5-7 minutes, while some may push for sub-5 minutes. This workout will test the lungs and legs.

5 rounds each for time of:
800/1,000-meter standing bike
*Rest 2 minutes between efforts.

Post each time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s intervals are all-out sprints on the bike with a twist — you will stand as you pedal. Expect this to add some spice to the workout. Use any stationary bike you have available (e.g., Echo bike, Assault bike, airdyne bike). Each round should be maximal effort. This means each set should occupy every ounce of your capacity, both mental and physical. As long as you are pushing these physical and psychological tolerances then you are hitting this workout as intended. Following each set, rest 2 minutes before the next attempt.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
5 rounds each for time:
600/750-meter standing bike
*Rest 2 minutes between efforts.

5 rounds for total reps:

On a 2-minute clock:
20/25-calorie Echo bike
Max deadlifts in the remaining time
Rest 4 minutes between rounds.

♂ 275 lb

Post reps to comments.

Scaling:
Lifting moderate to heavy loads under duress is a skill, and today’s workout aims to practice just that. This effort is meant to be five sprints with plenty of rest between rounds. Push to finish the calories as quickly as possible, and then work to accumulate as many reps as possible on the deadlift. Expect the barbell to feel heavier than you want it to after finishing on the bike. This is by design. Athletes should choose a weight that allows them to perform at least 5 reps in each round. All athletes should not let their intensity overshadow the importance of lifting with proper technique. Find a load with which you can maintain proper form, even when you are pushing your intensity.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for total reps:

On a 2-minute clock:
15/20-calorie Echo bike
Max deadlifts in the remaining time
Rest 4 minutes between rounds.

♀ 135 lb
♂ 205 lb

Beginner option:
5 rounds for total reps:

On a 2-minute clock:
8/12-calorie Echo bike
Max deadlifts in the remaining time
Rest 4 minutes between rounds.

♀ 65 lb
♂ 95 lb

Coaching cues:
Before lifting the bar off the ground, consider your deadlift setup: Your hands should be shoulder width, your feet should be between hip- and shoulder-width with your heels down, your shoulders should be slightly in front of the bar, and your chest should be up with a solid lumbar curve.
