MANAGEMENT:
Just focus on a solid warm-up to prep them for the skill work
Skill Work
5 minute coaching block to review the levels and what movement each level is doing
EMOM 5: skill work
Level 1: Does not yet have the strength to do a pull-up, strengthening the muscles needed for pull-ups will be the most beneficial thing for this group, there is not a drill in the world that will be beneficial if they do not have the strength required for a pull-up
8 Double DB Curls
Level 2: Those that can do 9 or less unbroken kipping/butterfly pull-ups, this will help them warm-up for the workout and their efficiency in the workout
Kipping: Kip swing to multiple pull-ups (no more than 3 reps, VIDEO) or…
Butterfly: Reverse Bicycle Pulls, no more than 5 reps (VIDEO)
Level 3: Can do 10+ unbroken kipping/butterfly pull-ups, this will serve as a good warm-up for the workout
2 Pull-ups + 3 Push-ups + 4 Air Squats
WOD
“Fools Rush In”
AMRAP 26
5 Pull-ups
5 Push-ups
5 KB Goblet Squats @53/35
400m Run
*add 5 reps to Pull-ups, Push-ups and Squats each round
SCORE: Round of completion + Reps (if you complete the round of 20 and get 10 pull-ups in the next round then your score is 20+10)
GOAL: through the round of 20
PACE: Calculated…muscle burn will be the limiting factor
FOCUS/STRATEGY:
Repeat from 04/01/25…but, one minute longer for 2026
For the rounds of 5,10 and 15 it will seem like a lot of running, that will change in the next round
The title is very fitting for this format…it is easy in an ascending rep workout to come out way too hot and then fall off bad…don’t be a fool and rush in :)
Once you get past the round of 10 I would break up the reps earlier than you think to try and maintain a good pace throughout
Breathe and move on the run, this should be an active recovery pace. Your muscles will need the break
WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Really need to keep the run unless the weather is really bad
I would do a 300yd shuttle inside if needed
400/320m Ski can work if you didn’t use it the other day or you can also do a 500/400m Row if someone is injured
BEGINNER: Alt. EMOM 24: M1: 10 Ring Rows, M2: 10 Knees or Hands Elevated Push-ups, M3: 10 Air Squats, M4: 100m Run
