At-Home Workout (No Equipment)
For our at-home and travel workouts, please start a clock and allow it to run throughout your training session. The entire session will take 60-minutes or less, and staying accountable to the clock will allow you to maintain the appropriate intensity and stimulus.

When the clock starts, perform…

Two sets of:
60 second Run/Bike/Row/Jumping Jacks
30 seconds of Downward Dog Stretch
30 seconds of Divebomber Push-Ups
30 seconds of Handstand Hold OR Front Leaning Rest
30 seconds of Reverse Snow Angels
30 seconds of Russian Baby Makers
30 seconds of Kang Squats
30 seconds rest

Breathe exclusively through your nose throughout this entire portion. If you find that your mouth drops open, you’re going too hard. Slow your pace and resume breathing only through your nose. Perform this at 75-80% effort.

When the running clock reaches 15:00, perform the following…

Against a 2-minute running clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
20 Air Squats
15 Backpack Push Presses
Max Reps of Backpack Devil’s Presses in the remaining time

Rest 60 seconds between sets, and complete a total of five (5) sets.

When the running clock reaches 35:00, perform the following…

Three sets of:
15 seconds of Top of Push-Up Hold
15 seconds of Bottom of Push-Up Hold
Max Reps of Unbroken Push-Ups
Bulgarian Split Squats x 8-10 each leg @ 3111
Rest as needed

Followed by…

5-10 minutes of breath work lying down in a comfortable position.

Inhale for 3-5 seconds through your nose…
Brief hold in…
Exhale for 6-10 seconds through your mouth (like you are blowing a whistle)…
Brief hold out.

Keep the ratio of inhale to exhale at a 1:2.

Coaches Note:
Today’s intention is strength bias towards our upper body. There is a little bit of lower body mixed in to relieve your arms from time to time, but the primary focus is strengthening the upper body with both pressing and pulling patterns.

During the five intervals, go hard on the backpack devil’s press!!

Primary Training Session
A.
Every 3 minutes, for 15 minutes (5 sets):
5 Double Dumbbell Squat Jumps (50/35 lbs)*

B.
Every 45 seconds, for 6 minutes (8 sets):
Dead-Stop Front Squat x 1 rep @ 92-94% of your 1-RM Dead-Stop Front Squat

C.
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):

*Sets 1-3 = @ 80% of 1-RM Power Clean
*Sets 4-6 = @ 85% of 1-RM Power Clean

D.
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Back Squat x 4 reps @ 2-4% heavier than last week
(this should be somewhere between 74-82% if you’re just joining)

E.
Against a 6-minute running clock, perform the following:
50/35 Calories of Assault Bike
80 Double Unders
20 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
Max Burpees to 6″ Touch

Rest 4 minutes between sets, and perform a total of FOUR sets (36 minutes total time). Note the number of burpees achieved each set.

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

Strength Accessory Option
A.
Five sets of:
Bench Press x 4 reps
Rest 2-3 minutes

Goal is to perform 5% more than last week.

Rest 60 seconds and repeat for a total of TEN sets.

Don’t be scared to push the pace on these and trust that you can maintain an aggressive pace and be able to recover in 60 seconds. A good goal would be to perform 8-10 reps each set.

Running Endurance Option
For warm-up:
Run 400 Meters @ 60-65%
Run 400 Meters @ 65-70%
Run 400 Meters @ 70-75%

Rest as needed, and then…

For time:
Run 400 Meters @ 100%

This should be treated as a maximal effort test. We will come back to this effort in future weeks to monitor progress. Compare today’s results to the week of February 19, 2020.

Rest 60-90 seconds, and then…

For cool down:
Run 400 Meters @ 65-70%
Run 400 Meters @ 70-75%
Run 400 Meters @ 70-75%
Run 400 Meters @ 65-70%

Rowing Endurance Option

Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across all sets. Aim for the same paces you held for last week’s 500 meter efforts. If possible, wear a heart-rate monitor and note how your heart rate follows your perceived rate of exertion over the course of your workout.

C. 195 and 210. These were way harder today than Saturday
D. 255#
E. That 4th round was unnecessary, just saying, I think I would’ve gotten the same stimulus with 3 ?
Round 1-4:16 and 27 burpees
Round 2-4:27 and 24 burpees
Round 3-4:40 and 20 burpees
Round 4-4:50ish and 20 burpees
My bike fell off, I was like 2:15-2:25 the first 2 rounds then 2:35 and 2:55 ?. C2B are feeling better every week though ??

Didn’t have a lot of time today so had to take some things out.

You had some crazy good rounds to start and quite a good drop off at the end. What started to take up your time the last round?

Assault Bike for sure. First round finished 35 Cals at 2:52 and my last round finished closer to 3:40. Last round of DUs was kind of a mess too but the Assault Bike was the biggest overall variable. Just out of gas. Luckily my C2Bs were quick and UB in :25 or less and I looked forward to the burpees.

Court all morning! But yes – I need to work on my tan game and also being “bigger than the bike” when I’m tired. That’s my new mantra! 🙂

Slowly easing into the program with some hip problem.

A. Done. (15kg power squat jump)
B. 40 – 65 kg (36-60%)
C. 40 – 65 kg (45-75%)
D. 50 – 80 kg (35-57%)

Back to posting after a somewhat long hiatus. The first 3 months of 2020 were kind of all over the place for me, but now that most gyms are closed I have finally found a groove in my garage gym and I am able to get most of these pieces done. I was following somewhat last cycle, but now I am 100% back on cycle. I will be following 1 week behind so I can prepare the programming and have time to make any modifications I might need in order to get the most out of the programming. For the… Read more »
