Sal. Weighted pull-up.
Sal. Weighted pull-up.

Deadlift:

5 x 5 @ 75% of 2RM
1 x 10 @ 50%, each with 3/1000 hold in top position

Rest as needed between sets. If a set requires interruption make as minor a weight adjustment as possible and continue uninterrupted. When scheme is listed as “1 x 10″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: Position and organized execution always govern weight.

Today: Perform 5 chin-up (scaled to ability) and 5 kettlebell Good Morning @ minimum 1/2 BW immediately following each set of deadlift, and rest as needed after the three movements are complete.

Then, 5 aggressive minutes of:

5 Slam ball @ 15lb. W, 25lb. M
50 High-knee jumprope/ 75 regular jumprope

Hustle in transitions between movements: Dawdling by any member of the group equals extra minutes for all members of the group. There is no designated rest here- if it is needed, keep it short and specific (3 breaths); Safety considered, there is value to making yourself move in simple conditioning drills.

Note: If 5 rounds are not completed inside the 5-minute clock, complete 5 rounds and then break. Conversely, if 7 rounds are completed inside the descending clock, note time to completion and break.

And then, 3 rounds of:

25 calories Airdyne
1 minute plank hold

Put in what you expect to get out of this simple, but far from easy, drill. If wp-contentropriate pace is kept during the calories, even for the most advanced, the plank should pose a significant challenge. If it doesn’t, question the participant, not the process.

And finally, “Time under tension”:

50 1-arm kettlebell swing @ 25lb. W, 35lb. M (cool-down weight) + 25 calorie Airdyne @ cool-down pace

Switch arms in 5-rep sets; If designated weight is not a cool-down weight, adjust accordingly.
