Strength
“Amarillo by Morning”

20:00 EMOM
minute 1: Clean Complex
minute 2: 5 High STICK jumps

Clean Complex =
Clean Deadlift + Hang Power Clean+ Power Clean
*Starting @ 60% of Power Clean and increasing to a heavy for the day
Stick Jumps: Choice on height. Looking for a challenging set

Goal: Build to 90% of 1RM Power Clean
Score: Max Load

Stimulus: Speed, Power, Coordination / Anaerobic
RPE: 7/10

Primary Objective: Build to a technical heavy for the day
Secondary Objective: Challenge yourself on the Box Jumps

Strategy:
“Amarillo by Morning” is a fun weightlifting focused EMOM with the goal of developing better power, speed and coordination with the effect of the clean complex and the box jumps working together to elicit a greater response in coordination of the hips and drive through the barbell. Focus on the elbows coming through quickly and developing quality high box jumps on the alternating minute. Keep these safe, but look to challenge yourself.

Movement Adjustments:

High Box Jumps: Adjust the height to a lower box or move to box step-ups.
Clean Complex: Adjust to Clean Deadlift + Hang Power Cleans for newer athletes or those with lower back issues. For those with front rack mobility issues look for the Dumbbell Clean Complex option as a great alternative for the day.

SKILL
Every 2:00 x 5 Sets
5-7 Strict Pull-Ups
10 Dumbbell Floor Pull-Overs

For those that have the ability, let’s look to add loads to the pull-ups today. For those that are challenged by pull-ups lets look to add band tension, move to a jumping pull-up + eccentric, or even just move to challenging ring rows to create quality strength building session here to finish off the day.

Strength
Overhead Squat OR FRONT SQUAT OR BACK SQUAT
Every 90 seconds x 8 Sets
1 Rep @ 70%+ of 1RM Snatch

Modifications and/or Substitutions:

  • Look to adjust the rep range slightly to 3 reps each set and reduce loading as the primary adjustment. Then for those with limited shoulder mobility the next would be to move to an overhead lunge to work on the stability and mobility while still moving in that direction.
  • For those that choose not to do an overhead squat we can adjust to Front Squats or Back Squats as well if the movement just won’t work for athletes.

Level 1 / Beginner Athletes:
Adjust to 5 Overhead Squats each set at an empty barbell to refine position

“Helanasty”
3 Rounds for Time:
21 Alternating Dumbbell Snatch
400m Run

Barbell: 75/55lb, 34/25kg

Time Cap: 15:00
Goal Time: 9:00–13:00

Stimulus: High-End Aerobic + Muscular Stamina
RPE: 9/10

Primary Objective: Complete each round in under 4:00 minutes
Secondary Objective: Looking to complete all movements unbroken

Strategy:
Look to tackle the Dumbbell Snatches unbroken before hitting a fast run, leaving just a touch in the tank before circling around and tackling the overhead squats. These should be at a load that is challenging, but able to be completed in an unbroken set. The goal and the challenge today is to maintain paces, keep quick transitions and keep pushing the run even as the legs begin to get heavy and under fatigue towards the back half of the workout.

Movement Adjustments:

Overhead Squat: We should look to adjust the loading first, even if all the way to a PVC Pipe. Alternatively lets look to adjust to Front Squats, Back Squats or Goblet Squats

Alternating Dumbbell Snatch: Scale to a hang position or the loading. Alternatively an American Kettlebell Swing is a great alternative for the day.

Run: Look to adjust to 900/800m Bike Erg, 30/22 Calorie Echo, or 32/25 Calorie Row. If you are modifying the distance, adjust to 300 or 200m for the day.

Wall Walk Complex: 1 Wall Walk + 1 Wall Facing Handstand Push-Up to 2in Riser

Goal: 4-6 rounds completed
Score: Total rounds + reps
RPE: 6/10

Primary Objective: Accumulate quality volume in both hinge strength and gymnastics under moderate fatigue.

Secondary Objective: Maintain strict pacing and strong bracing positions in both deadlifts and wall walk complexes.

Strategy:
This workout is designed to tax posterior chain strength and upper-body stamina simultaneously. The deadlifts are meant to be challenging but sustainable, so singles or small sets are recommended as the ladder climbs—avoid rushing and compromising mechanics. The wall walk complex is the limiter; maintain tight midline control and treat the handstand push-up as a composed, deliberate rep. The workout will escalate quickly, so athletes should focus on efficiency and minimizing no-reps. Success comes from balancing pacing on the barbell with precision on the gymnastics.

Movement Adjustments:

Wall Walk Complex: Modify to box wall walks, pike handstand push-ups, or wall walks only if athletes cannot perform the HSPU safely.

Deadlifts: Reduce load to 60–70% of 1RM, or substitute with kettlebell or dumbbell deadlifts for athletes with limited barbell access.
