Warmup:
Crossover Symmetry or MisFit Shoulder Circuit
Three sets of:
Seated Box Jumps x 1.1.1.1.1 (rest 10 seconds between jumps)

A. Back Squat @20X0; 2-3 reps @55-60% of 1-RM  w/accommodating resistance; Rest 45 sec x 10

B. Clean Pulls; 1.1.1.1 @90-110% of max clean; rest 10 seconds/rest 2 minutes x 4

C. EMOM x 8-10 minutes:

*If you can’t do strict, kick up and perform a 4-5 second negative, come down, then kick back up and repeat for a total of 2-3 reps each minute.

D1. KB or DB Waiter’s Walk; 50 meters continuous/arm; rest 30 seconds x 3
D2. DB Bicep Curls @21X1; 8-10/arm; rest 30 seconds x 3

D3. GHD Hip Extensions @3011; 8-12 reps; rest 2 minutes x 3

Notes:
-Back Squat is speed work; add chains or bands and explode out of the bottom of each rep, no pause at the top.
-Focus on perfect positioning on Clean Pulls; chest up, weight in heel to mid-foot (http://www.catalystathletics.com/exercise/98/Clean-Pull/)
-Just like the Muscle Ups, use this week to feel out what is appropriate volume on the HSPUs (without wrecking you).

    1. The weight on the bar plus the resistance at the top should equal 55-60%. At FR, we have chains that are 10# each, so 20# total. I’d say that’s like medium-to-small sized band on each side

  4. A) 175 w/bands
    B) Plan was 275 across (have done this before). Periodically I have what feels like a pinched nerve flair up and on my 2nd pull at 275 there it went and my low back is dicey. Certain positions and extensions really light it up so I shut down the pulls
    C) HSPU – 6 OTM for all 10 rounds. Last 3 rounds started to pause and fight for last 2 reps but completed.
    D1) 24kg KB
    D2) 25# curls (3 dudes lined up in the gym doing curls….) x 8 reps. Think planet fitness was the last time I did curls.
    D3) 40# across x 12 reps
    D4) done but at a very deliberate pace for back’s sake (12 reps each set)
