Goal: ~6 Rounds +/- 10-20 Reps
Score: Rounds + Reps

Stimulus: Gymnastics Density
RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Maintain movement consistency and pacing across the entire 16 minute AMRAP
Secondary Objective: Maintain Big Sets on Strict Pull-Ups… we want a dose effect here from going for a big set of strict pull-ups to start each round.

Workout Strategy:
This AMRAP tests shoulder stamina and upper body control across all three movement patterns. Strict Pull-Ups will accumulate quickly, but we should just give ourselves enough of a reset to maintain a good big set to open with. Maintain a steady cadence and quick transitions to the Handstand Walk.

The Handstand Walks are the focal point of this workout. Focus on shoulder stacking, straight arms and short breaks if needed. Completing these segments consistently will be the separator in this workout. Avoid being too aggressive early on and think about possibly breaking up into 10ft (3m) segments with short breaks early on to avoid failure later in the workout.

The American Kettlebell Swings are meant to be on the heavier side today and add in some grip interference for the Pull-Ups. Be sure to really use your hips and hip hinge to dynamically drive the kettlebell overhead.

Movement Modifications:

Kettlebell Swings: First reduce load. If needed, modify to Russian swings for shoulder limitations.

Strict Pull-Ups: First reduce volume to 8–10 reps. Then modify to banded strict pull-ups or jumping pull-ups with a controlled eccentric

Handstand Walk: Scale distance to 10ft or 15ft segments. Adjust to 4x5ft Handstand Walks to Wall, modify to wall-facing shoulder taps, box pike walks, or 2 Wall Walks for each segment.

Goal: 7:00–10:00
Time Cap: 12:00

Stimulus: Barbell Stamina + Moderate Rowing Capacity
RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Manage squat clean pacing without redlining early
Secondary Objective: Row at a sustainable, aggressive pace that allows clean execution on the barbell. (Mind the pun)

Workout Strategy:
This workout is a classic blend of power and pacing—athletes will need to balance a moderately heavy barbell with short-to-mid rowing sprints. The row should be done at a hard, but repeatable effort (~85% output) to set up for the cleans without gasping for air.

For the squat cleans, quick singles are the most effective strategy for most athletes. Avoid touch-and-go reps unless you’re extremely confident in cycling the load. Each barbell set shrinks in volume, so intensity can increase as fatigue sets in, but barbell quality should never suffer.

The final row is where athletes can empty the tank and chase a strong finish.

Movement Modifications:

Row: Reduce to 400/350m Row or we could sub a Ski Erg at the same distance or double the Bike Erg Distance.

Squat Clean: First reduce load. If needed, adjust to power clean + front squat or hang squat cleans for mobility limitations or lower back issues.

Every 3:00 x 5 Sets

Focus: The focus on the Strict Press + Push Press is to combine the strict strength work with dynamic pressing strength in a tight strong complex.
Cue: Vertical press, keep the bar close, and finish over midline with a tight locked out position.

We are doing 3-5 plyo push-ups here to really work on the dynamic extension and have speed of contraction. If speed tends to diminish after 3 then just do 3.. if you can keep 5 with great speed and power please keep 5.

Kettlebells: 35/26lb, 16/12kg
Plate: 45/25lb, 20/10kg
15-20 V-Ups

Primary Objective: Maintain strong, consistent bracing and control through each midline-driven movement
Secondary Objective: Sustain posture and shoulder position under dynamic load
Workout Strategy:
This EMOM rotates through four intentionally midline-demanding movements with different contraction types: floor pressing for controlled horizontal pushing, renegade rows for anti-rotation and bracing, overhead carries for posture and load stability, and GHD sit-ups for dynamic trunk flexion.
Each movement should be performed with tempo and precision. On the floor press, stay in a hollow body hold and keep the lumbar flat against the ground, while maintaining a tight position of shoulders and feet off the ground… Select a KB load that challenges pressing without compromising form. Renegade rows should be deliberate with a wide stance and no torso twist. The overhead plate carry is about upright posture and external rotation, the shoulders should stay locked in. GHD sit-ups are to be done with rhythm, not speed.
Rest minute is built in for recovery and flow of the workout. Use it to reset and get ready for each round.
Movement Modifications:

GHD Sit-Ups: Reduce reps to 10–12 or reduce the range of motion. Alternatively sub with weighted Abmat Sit-Ups or V-Ups (15–20 reps).

Dual KB Hollow Body Floor Press: First reduce kettlebell load. If hollow hold is too demanding, move to bent-knee position or eliminate hollow hold and just move to a floor press with feet planted by your butt on the floor and back plate.

Renegade Row: Use lighter DBs or perform bird-dog rows or chest-supported rows.

Overhead Plate Carry: Reduce distance to 50ft (15m), or move to a Single Arm Overhead Carry if the thoracic mobility is an issue.

Goal: Finish each round in 14:00-17:00
Time Cap: 17:00 on Round 1. 18:00 Round 2.

Stimulus: High-volume aerobic and gymnastics test with fatigue management and pacing transitions
RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Manage high-skill bar muscle-ups under increasing fatigue
Secondary Objective: Sustain consistent pacing through cyclical efforts

Workout Strategy:
This workout delivers two rounds of dense mixed-modal conditioning. Set 1 follows a classic progression where the volume of running decreases while gymnastics and jump rope volume shrinks proportionally. Set 2 flips the script, starting with the bike and moving toward the biggest run and bar muscle-up set last. This structure exposes pacing holes and forces composure in both “front-loaded” and “back-loaded” fatigue scenarios.

Athletes should manage transitions and breathing early in Set 1 and be prepared for the bike to spike heart rate before every skill movement. Set 2 will feel more aggressive from the start, keep the jump rope smooth, break the muscle-ups early if needed, and save your legs for the 800m at the end.

Movement Modifications:

Echo Bike: Reduce to 12/9 calories as needed.

Bar Muscle-Ups: First reduce reps (6-3-2), then scale to Pull-Ups (16-12-8). For athletes still developing the skill of the Bar Muscle-Up, Jumping Bar Muscle-ups or a Strict pull-up + Ring dip combo may be used.

Double Unders: Reduce to 60-30-20 or scale to single unders 100-80-60

Running: Reduce distance to 600-300-200m if pacing is significantly delayed. Or adjust to Row @ 1000/900m – 500/450m – 250/225m

Stimulus and Objectives:
Stimulus: Moderate Barbell Cycling Under Pressure / Mixed-Modal Grind
RPE: 9/10
Primary Objective: Sustain consistent pacing on the BBJO and Wall Balls
Secondary Objective: Sustained quick singles and efficient technique on the barbell.
Workout Strategy:
This 10:00 AMRAP builds quickly, the snatches climb in reps, while the burpee box jump overs and wall balls remain fixed. That means as fatigue builds, the barbell becomes the primary time drain.
The first 3 rounds (2-4-6) should move quickly, athletes should be tackling fast singles and stay calm even in the early rounds.. In the 8s and 10s, the Snatches become the priority in terms of pacing and staying on top of the bar as this will become the primary time drain.
The Burpee Box Jump Overs should be smooth and steady, while attacking the Wall Balls as unbroken sets throughout. This along with the quick singles on the Power Snatch will help to maintain pace throughout the AMRAP.
Movement Modifications:

Burpee Box Jump Overs: Adjust the Box Height, move to Step-Overs, or even move to Elevated Burpee Box Step-Overs.

Power Snatch: Start by reducing the load. If needed, modify to a hang power snatch or dumbbell snatch for athletes with mobility or skill limitations.

Wall Balls: Reduce weight or target height first. If needed, scale volume to 10 reps and as a last mod we can move to Air Squats.
