MONDAY
The back squat continues on Monday and we are adding 1 extra set from last week. The weight should increase from set to set. The built in progression is the extra set so if you can do the same weight as last week, plus one extra set you will have reached the objective of the session. Check out the below video from Pauline on the correct tempo for the back squat as well as some great drills to prepare your joints for a heavy squat session.



Monday’s metcon is 3 rounds of:

  • 25 step ups
  • 10 chest to bar pull ups
  • 18 overhead squats


Rest 90 seconds 16 minute timecap

TUESDAY
Last week it was a 30 minute AMRAP.

This week it’s a metcon with a 35 minute timecap featuring: 4 rounds:

  • 30 wall balls
  • 30 dummbell lunges
  • 15 push ups
  • 5 strict toes to bar
  • 20 second l-sit



WEDNESDAY
The EMOM of muscle snatches increases from 10 to 12 minutes this week with a slight change in format. This week the goal is to hit 2 muscle snatches plus 2 power snatches every minute.

The mecon is a 16 minute AMRAP of:

  • 21 double unders
  • 12 thrusters
  • 4 handstand push ups


THURSDAY
Last week we worked on a max set of kipping pull ups. This week we are going to hit some sub-maximal sets to practice the movement. A good kip is the foundation for pull ups, chest to bar pull ups, toes to bar and muscle-ups. Practicing kipping often gets overlooked for “sexier” exercises like banded pull ups, but this is a mistake! Master the kip and you will master the pull up faster. Take a look at the video below for some more great tips from Pauline on how to correctly perform this movement.



Thursday’s metcon is the same as last week, but with 1 extra movement thrown in: 3 rounds of 30 seconds on/30 seconds off:

  • Burpees
  • Rowing
  • Assault Bike
  • Ski erg
  • Double unders


FRIDAY
We are finishing the week with our general strength building exercises. It’s the same format as last week, but each AMRAP increases from 7 to 9 minutes.

AMRAP 9 minutes:

  • 5-8 pike push ups
  • 5-8 strict pull ups


AMRAP 9 minutes:

  • 5-8 glute bridge flyes
  • 5-8 bent over reverse flyes


AMRAP 9 minutes:

  • 5-8 see saw press
  • 5-8 upright row


Here is another reminder of some of these movements if you missed last week’s session.
