20-30 seconds each side Pigeon Stretch

20-30 seconds each side Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch

20-30 seconds Standing Toe Touch

20-30 seconds each side Standing Quad Stretch

—then—

2 Rounds

10 Single Reverse Lunges

10 Single DB Bent Over Rows (5 each arm)

MANAGEMENT:

  • The main focus is getting the legs ready for these Bulgarian Squats, great movement, but challenging and make people sore, make sure they are loose

Specific Warm-up

3 Rounds

4 Bulgarian Squats (2 each leg)

20 second Front Plank

*build to starting weight on Bulgarian Squats

MANAGEMENT:

  • If you need to share DBs/KBs then have people partner and alternate the squats and planks

Accessory Work

Double DB Bulgarian Squats 5x10 (5 each leg)

FOCUS:

  • A lot of times we do Accessory Work on upper body, core or Oly lifts…this week we have a good opportunity to do some lower body single leg work

  • The weight does not have to be super heavy to be beneficial

  • Be far enough away from the box/bench that your front leg is at 90 degrees when doing reps…too close to the box/bench and your knee goes over your toe, to far away and your knee is behind your toe which brings in more mobility than needed for this movement

  • Focus on driving through your front heel when standing…if you do these right your butt should be sore more than your quads

OPEN TIME OPTION:

  • 10 minutes

CONTROLLED TIME OPTION:

  • Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes complete a set

MANAGEMENT:

  • This can also be done with KBs and you can go to single DB/KB in the front rack or the opposite hand of the leg up front if needed because of class size

  • Two people can use the same box/bench at the same time

6 Pull-ups

WOD

Running Clock

15 Power Cleans @165/115

25 Chest to Bar

10:00-15:00

10 Power Cleans @185/125

20 Bar Muscle-ups

SCORE: Time for each section…add 1 second for each rep not completed

GOAL: 4:00 or less for each section

PACE: Calculated…muscle burn and skill level will be the limiting factors

EXECUTION:

  • Complete the reps, rest for the remainder of the 5 minute section

  • I would cut people off at 4:30 so they have some rest, as mentioned in the Score section, add 1 second for each rep not completed

FOCUS/STRATEGY:

  • For Rx, you must go straight through, all of the Power Cleans then all of the Pull-ups/Bar MU

  • Power Cleans: these weights should be moderate (around 60%), heavyish (around 70%), heavy (around 80%), chest up, hip pop and drop, stand, drop, repeat

  • Pull-ups: the goal here as we have been progressing on is the hardest version you can do each section and don’t forget about the “Murph Mentality” option

NO BARBELL/RIG OPTION:

  • KB Sumo Deadlift High Pulls @53/35, 70/53, 88/62

  • Double DB Curls, choose a challenging weight for each rep scheme

“MURPH MENTALITY” option:

  • Break up the reps however you want, this can help people do the weight and/or the movement in smaller rep ranges

  • Example: in the round of 20 Power Cleans and 30 Pull-ups, you could do 5 Rounds of 4 Power Cleans and 6 Pull-ups

BEGINNER: No Barbell/Rig Option

SCALED: 115/80, 135/95, 155/105, hardest version of a pull-up you can do each round and/or the “Murph Mentality” option

Rx+: 165/115, 185/125, 205/145

Comp: Chest to Bar, Bar MU, Ring MU, 185/125, 205/145, 225/155
