Dumbbells: 2 x 30/20lb, 14/9kg

Goal: Complete each round in 2:00–2:30, allowing at least :30 rest per interval
Stimulus: Upper body stamina and high-skill density with aerobic repeatability
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Move through the bench press unbroken or in 2 quick sets to maintain round consistency
Secondary Objective: Control breathing during the double unders to preserve grip and push the pace on the burpee pull-ups. The goal is to complete the Burpee Pull-Ups in under 1:00.
Workout Strategy:
“Trinity” blends skill, stamina, and upper-body fatigue into a repeatable format. Begin each round with smooth, unbroken double unders. The bench press is where pacing matters—aim to go unbroken for as long as possible, especially early rounds, but don’t hesitate to go 8-7 or 9-6 if fatigue sets in. The burpee pull-ups add interference, so stay low, jump straight up, and use your hips to get over the bar cleanly. Avoid redlining too early. This piece is about keeping consistent round times and smooth transitions. Focus on breathing control during the jump rope and burpees to manage heart rate across all five sets.
Movement Modifications:

• Double Unders: Reduce to 35–40 reps, :40 of practice, or 70 Single Unders
• Dumbbell Bench Press: Lower load, reduce reps to 10–12, or sub with floor press if benches are unavailable
• Burpee Pull-Ups: Modify to burpee to target, jumping pull-ups, and / or ring rows to keep stimulus.

Goal: Complete each bike in under 50 seconds and hit the target goal for the Clean and Jerk as singles done 1 every 20-30 seconds.
Stimulus: Barbell Conditioning with Interference Fatigue.
RPE: 9/10
Primary Objective: Maintain technical precision on squat clean and jerks under fatigue without failed reps
Secondary Objective: Hit a consistent power output on the bike without redlining—stay just below threshold
Workout Strategy:
This is a classic interference EMOM where the bike elevates your heart rate before demanding precision on the Clean and Jerk. The goal is to hold steady calories on the bike (~1:00 effort) while leaving enough in the tank to stay composed under the bar. Choose a squat clean and jerk weight that is 90% of your top set from today’s complex. This should feel heavy but sustainable with clean footwork and receiving positions. The thought process is to hit quality singles here, with fast reset and no failed reps. Use the third minute to breathe, shake out your legs, and focus on key points to improve in the Clean and Jerk. The key to success is balance: stay aggressive on the bike without compromising barbell quality.
Movement Modifications:

Squat Clean & Jerk: Modify to Power Clean + Push jerk if mobility is a limiter, or reduce load to ensure technical consistency.

Bike: Reduce calories to 12/9 or sub with 200m run, 15/12 calorie row, or 16/12 Calorie Assault Bike if needed.

(Re-Test from 5-31-2024)
Goal: 10-13 minutes
Time Cap: 15 minutes
Stimulus: High-volume engine test with barbell cycling and gymnastics interference
RPE: 9/10
Primary Objective:
Manage grip and breathing to stay smooth and composed through the transitions—especially between gymnastics and barbell movements.
Secondary Objective:
Attack the bar-facing burpees with a steady, relentless rhythm without letting heart rate spike beyond control.
Workout Strategy:
This workout will challenge your grip, lungs, and barbell cycling under fatigue. Start with a composed 15 power cleans, aim for 2–3 quick sets (8-7 or 6-5-4). Toes-to-bar are layered in with a descending rep scheme, so break early on the 21s to stay fresh for the barbell that follows. The 15 thrusters will hit hard and build fatigue over the course of the workout. The goal is to attack them in either an unbroken set or 2 sets with either a 9-6 rep scheme or 8-7. Keep the bar moving with good breathing. The bar-facing burpees will jack the heart rate up, so stay low and find a sustainable burpee pace. The round of 15 will require a big push, so stay strong and consistent through the middle round here before finishing fast in the round of 9.
Movement Modifications:
Power Clean: Scale load or substitute with dumbbell power cleans.
Toes-to-Bar: Modify to toes-to-target, knee raises, or V-ups. Reduce reps (e.g., 15-12-9)
Thrusters: Scale barbell load, or substitute with dumbbell thrusters or front squats for shoulder limitations.
Bar-Facing Burpees: Step-over burpees or lateral burpees to a line for those with jumping restrictions; reduce reps if needed.
