SEE SUBSTITUTIONS FOR TEAM VERSION

Stimulus
  • Overview: Pick reps/weights that allow you to complete each movement in under 1:00, allowing for at least 10 rounds today. This has the potential to be a very high-rep workout, so consider completing this with a partner (see team version in coach's notes).
  • Deadlifts: Loading should not exceed 70% of your 1RM.
  • Push-ups: Keep a neutral spine and body in a straight line, tightening your core.
  • Box Jumps: Must reach full lockout/extension of the hips/knees at the top of the box. Step down off the top of the box - no rebounding.
  • Target Score: 10-15 Rounds
  • Target Loading: Moderate-Heavy
  • Stimulus: Muscular Endurance/Aerobic Power
  • Score: Rounds + Reps
Strategy
  • The best way to approach today's workout is at a sustainable pace that you can maintain throughout the entire workout. This will look like a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of 5-6 (out of 10). Throughout your workout, it will likely feel like an RPE of 7-8 just to maintain the same pace you started at.
  • If deadlifts are a challenge, break these up into 2 sets.
  • Don't squeeze out reps on the push-ups. Work for as long as you can keep crisp, quick reps. Once you experience a slow rep, take a short break (5-10 seconds), then start again. Ideally, these are completed in 1-2 sets.
  • Work at a moderate pace on the box jumps to catch your breath. This will allow you to be faster on the deadlifts and push-ups, as those are the movements that you risk slowing down the most on.

Pick a deadlift weight you can get done in no more than 2 sets. All movements should take about 30 seconds or less to complete. No rebounding box jumps.
