NOTES
  • The first three sets get your moving explosively to prep for the box jump-overs.
  • Use the last three sets to build up in weight on the shoulder-to-overhead and practice a few rope climbs. Don’t exhaust yourself on the rope.

Competition: 75 min

Warm up: 20 min
See Above 

Workout 1: 10 min
For time:
30 Box Jump Over (20/24 in)
20 shoulder-to-overheads (95/135 lbs)
10 Rope Climb
– Must clear the box.


Stimulus & Goals
  • 5:00-10:00.
  • Complete box jump overs in 1:00-2:00.
  • Finish the shoulder-to-overhead in 1-2 sets and spend no more than 2:00.
  • Spend no more than 6:00 on rope climbs.
Strategy
  • Push the pace on the first two movements. The rope climb is where you’ll be really tested. Expect the jumping from the box jump-overs to make the legs feel heavy and then the shoulder-to-overheads to make the shoulders feel like boulders. The combination should have an impactful effect on the rope climbs.
  • Consider performing push jerks from the start so you can last longer. If you can go unbroken, then do it!
  • Do not start a rope climb if you are unclear about whether or not you can complete the rep.

Workout 2: 15 min
Front Squat:
– Build to a 3-rep-max.
– Rest 2:00-3:00 between attempts.
NOTES
  • For the Main Lift, build to a 3-rep-max front squat. Take the full 3:00 of rest between your heaviest sets and only make an attempt at a failed set once.
  • If you fail a load a second time, reduce the weight and perform 2 drop sets of 3 reps at 80-90% of your heaviest set of the day.

Workout 3: 20 min
On a 20:00 clock:
5 sets for reps:
0:00-2:00
200-m Run
Max Burpees
2:00-4:00
– Rest


Stimulus & Goals
  • Push for one more rep in each interval.
  • Keep runs to 1:00 or less.
  • 15-25 burpees per set.





Strategy
  • Find a pace on the run that gives you the most amount of time for the burpees but doesn’t require too much rest. You should have about 1:00 to perform burpees.
  • Take the burpees one rep at a time; just keep getting yourself down to the floor. Remember that you get an entire 2:00 rest after the burpees.
  • This workout builds your capacity to keep pushing for “one more rep” when you’re tired.

Stretching: 10 min
Accumulate:
1:00 Foam Roll Upper Back
1:00 Foam Roll Quad
