Dumbbell: 35/25lb, 15/12kg

Goal: ~ 6 Rounds
Stimulus: High Intensity Triplet / Mixed Modal Glycolytic work
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Complete each round in under 2:00 minutes
Secondary Objective: Keep unbroken sets on the Strict Handstand Push-Ups and Alternating Dumbbell Snatch.
Workout Strategy and Notes:
This is a fun little triplet that brings us shades of the Open from a couple years back. The goal here is to work on making these movements as cyclical as possible and manage fatigue in the Handstand Push-Ups as these will become the crux of the workout. A note that the Alternating Dumbbell Snatch should be at a load that remains unbroken throughout the entire AMRAP.
Modifications:
Strict Handstand Push-Ups: Box Piked Handstand Push-Ups (Kneeling or Toes on Box)
Alternating Dumbbell Snatch: Reduce the load or move to a Hang Dumbbell Snatch
Box Jump Overs: Reduce the box height or move to alternating box step-ups.

minute 4: Rest
Kettlebells: 2 x 35/18lb, 16/8kg
Goal: 15/11+ Calories / Set
Stimulus: Midline and Quad Stamina
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Complete the Lunges and Toes to Bar within the minute
Secondary Objective: Push the calories on the bike and look to increase on each set.
Workout Strategy and Breakdown:
Let’s just say the legs and midline are going to feel this one. We are starting off this cycle with some lighter work on toes to bar with total volume here only being in that 45 rep range, however the combination of the Dual Kettlebell Front Rack Lunge and Bike sandwiching the Toes to Bar will pack a punch and make each set more difficult. Look to stay controlled and remain tight with an upright torso on the Dual Kettlebell Front Rack Lunge. For the Toes to Bar, pick a modification that we can at least maintain 5 quick sets of 3 reps, or 3 quick sets of 5 reps. For our higher level athletes, we will be looking to keep and maintain unbroken sets.
Modifications:
Dual Kettlebell Front Rack Reverse Lunge: Reduce the Load or move to a Goblet Lunge to reduce complexity.
Toes to Bar: Adjust to Toes to Target, Alternating Toes to Bar, Kipping Knees to Chest, Kipping Knee Raises, or adjust to a form of V-Up, Alternating V-Up, or abmat sit-up if hanging is the issue. We could even move to GHD Sit-Ups if it’s just a shoulder issue in order to maintain the intensity here.
Echo Bike: Can sub any machine here,

Barbell: 95/65lb, 43/30kg
Goal: 8+ Reps / Set
Stimulus: Upper Body Density /Hip Extension Bias
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Complete the Double Unders and Shoulder to Overhead in under 1:10
Secondary Objective: Unbroken Movements across
Workout Strategy and Notes:
We are looking for the Double Unders to be done quickly in 1-2 sets before tackling the shoulder to overhead component with the goal of completing these as Push Jerks with an unbroken set that will take us right into some quick lateral Burpees over the Bar. We should have in the range of around that 20-30 sec mark to tackle the burpees with the goal of completing 8+ reps per set.
Movement Modifications:
50 Double Unders: Reduce reps to 35 Double Unders or move to 70 Single Unders for the day.
10 Shoulder to Overhead: Reduce the load or move to Dual Dumbbell Push Press for those with movement limitations.
Lateral Burpees: If you need more space adjust to traditional burpees. For less trained athletes move to elevated burpees

Kettelbell: 44/26lb, 20/12kg
Time Domain: 2:45-3:15/ Set
Time Cap: 3:45 / Set
Stimulus: Posterior Chain and Midline Conditioning
RPE: 7/10
Primary Objective: Complete each set in under 3:15
Secondary Objective: Unbroken Kettlebell Swings
Workout Strategy and Breakdown:
We should tackle each set on the rower at a hard fast pace as the Russian Kettlebell Swings and Abmat Sit-Ups should still be doable after hitting the rower hard. We will be looking to complete the row as close to 1:00 as possible, which will place us in the zone of 1:42-1:52/500m for men and 2:00-2:10/500m for women. We will then tackle the Russian Swings as a big unbroken set to create some overload in the grip and posterior chain before completing a quick set of 25 abmat sit-ups to finish off each set.
Movement Modifications:
Row: Sub out a Ski Erg or Bike Erg as primary sub’s today, but we can also sub 8 shuttle runs or a 200m run.
Russian Kettlebell Swing: First reduce the volume, then reduce the loading
Abmat Sit-Ups: Adjust volume as needed or otherwise move to a traditional crunch.
