Time Domain: 7-9 min / Set
Time Cap: 12min / set
Total Running Time Cap: 40 minutes
Primary Objective: Maintain smart sets on the bodyweight movements as we dial in our training for Murph. Think about how the volume will play out across all 3 sets here.
Secondary Objective: Complete each set in under 9 minutes
Stimulus: Chipper Mentality and Muscular Endurance / Stamina
RPE: 9/10
Workout Strategy and Movement Breakdown:
This workout starts off our cycle with a bang, tackling some Murph prep here to really dial things in. This workout is called “Candy Land” as each set is 20 Pull-Ups + 40 Push-Ups + 60 Air Squats, which is one set of the workout “Candy”. By pulling this into an interval scenario and having sets broken up by some brief periods of running we should allow for the volume to be more approachable while also creating greater carryover to Murph.
Movement Modifications:
Run: Can sub Bike Erg of Double the Distance for each run as the primary scale today. A note that we could move to an Echo or Assault Bike with the thought of adjusting to 16/12 Calories on the Assault / 200m Run and 15/11 on the Echo Per 200m Run
Pull-Ups: Primary Modification here will be moving to banded pull-ups, but we can adjust to jumping pull-ups or ring rows depending on the level of athlete.
Push-Ups: Look to move to an elevated push-up or band assisted push-up as the primary modifications for the day.

Goal: Complete 10/8+ reps / set

Primary Objective: Complete the buy-in with at least 30 seconds remaining on the clock to knock out our strict pull-ups.
Secondary Objective: Keep each set as consistent as possible across

Stimulus: Upper Body interference and density
RPE: 8/10

Workout Strategy and Movement Breakdown:
This piece is all about efficient turnover on GHDs and deadlifts to leave you time (and capacity) for the real test: max strict pull-ups under midline and grip fatigue. It rewards athletes who can manage tempo early and maintain body control under compounding core tension.
Pacing Set Strategy
15 GHD Sit-Ups (~0:30–0:45)
Smooth, consistent tempo — don’t sprint them.
Aggressive GHD speed early will blow up your hip flexors and lower back, compromising the deadlift and strict pull-ups.
10 Deadlifts (~0:20–0:30)
Aim to go unbroken, but fast singles are okay for later rounds.
Maintain a tight core. Think “push the floor away” rather than yank.
Max Strict Pull-Ups (Remaining ~0:30–1:10)
Go to a strong number, not full failure in early sets.
Break into 3–5 rep sets early to extend total volume.
The final round is where you can push closer to failure.
Movement Breakdown
GHD Sit-Ups
Start Position: Hips placed just off the pad, knees slightly bent
Execution:
Extend fully at bottom (shoulders past pad)
Sit up until torso is vertical or hands reach foot pad

Completion Standard: Full range of motion, touch target or consistent endpoint
Scaling: AbMat Sit-Ups (30 reps), or Straight-Leg V-Ups (20 reps)
Deadlifts (225/155lb)
Start Position: Bar over midfoot, back flat, shoulders over bar
Execution:
Drive with legs, hinge through hips
Lock out hips and knees at top

Completion Standard: Full lockout at top, bar must touch floor each rep
Scaling: Reduce to 185/125lb or 135/95lb as needed
Strict Pull-Ups
Start Position: Full hang with arms extended
Execution:

No kip or momentum
Chin must clearly clear the bar each rep

Completion Standard: Full extension → chin above bar
Scaling Options:

Banded Strict Pull-Ups
Ring Rows (elevate feet for added difficulty)
Seated Pulls to Ring (if vertical pull is not yet accessible)

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

Goal Time Domain: 12-16 minutes (including the rest minute)
Time Cap: 18 minutes

Primary Objective: Complete each set as close to 2 minutes as possible. Expected time domain is 2:00-2:30 / set
Secondary Objective: Keep each set as consistent as possible across

Stimulus: Upper Body interference and density
RPE: 8/10

Workout Strategy and Movement Breakdown:
Each set is meant to be pretty close to a max-effort sprint followed by rest — aim to be consistent across all five rounds. The pairing of wall walks and thrusters heavily taxes the shoulders, while the burpee box jump overs challenge your breathing and legs. Transitions and pacing in the wall walks are critical to preserve quality thrusters and smooth box jump overs.

Set Breakdown
Wall Walks (Target: ~0:40–0:55)
Smooth and methodical — rushing costs time if you fail reps.
Focus on a strong lockout and straight arm strength as you move up the wall here.
Quick breath reset between each rep to maintain rhythm.
Thrusters (Target: ~0:15–0:30)
Unbroken every set of 5 reps at this weight should feel punchy, but manageable.
Big breath at the top of rep 1, then continuous cycle through 5.
Keep elbows high and heels down to drive through the bar. (Think Balance)
Burpee Box Jump Overs (Target: ~0:45 – 1:05)
Settle into a rhythm; stay low and fluid.
These are meant to be Box Facing for the workout today.

Pacing by Set
Set 1: Go hard but controlled. Set the tone.
Set 2–3: Find consistency. Focus on transitions.
Set 4–5: Dig deep. These will be your slowest unless you stay aggressive on the thrusters and breathe through the burpees.

Movement Breakdown
Wall Walks
Start Position: Chest and thighs on floor, feet flat against wall
Execution:
Push up into plank, walk feet up and hands back toward wall
Chest must touch wall or be within inches at top
Completion Standard: Full rep only counts when the hands are 10in from the wall and hands return beyond the start line on the finish.
Scaling: Move to 20-30in off the wall, or just do a plank to wall walk with only the feet moving up the wall.
Thrusters (135/95lb, 61/43kg)
Start Position: Front rack position with full squat depth
Execution:
One fluid motion: front squat + drive into overhead press
Full lockout overhead; hips and knees extended
Completion Standard: Full squat → full overhead lockout in one motion
Scaling: Reduce the load, move to dumbbell thrusters, or adjust to a front squat or push press depending on the limitation.
Burpee Box Jump Overs
Start Position: Chest and thighs on the floor
Execution:
Perform burpee, then jump onto and over the box
No need to stand fully on top; lateral or forward jump allowed
Completion Standard: Chest to ground, then jump over box — rep ends when both feet land on the far side
Scaling: reduce the box height or move to burpee box step-overs
