(Specialty warm-up: 5 dumbbell box jump @ base weight, 10 kettlebell swing @ 1/2 BW) Dumbbell box jump: 9, 7, 5, 3, 3, 3 Weight increases each set (denoted by commas). Begin at a moderate, challenging weight and end as heavy as possible; Each set should be difficult, violent, and positionally sound. Today, max jump height is 15″ W, 20″ M. Stay tall and upright, and do not allow chosen weight to break posture/ unwind bracing in take-off or landing; soft equals sketchy. If dumbbell is not the best tool for the job, use another. Goal today is challenging, accurate weighted jumps. Bearhug a medicine ball, hold and keep a bumper plate at chest level; Quality of jump governs weight, height, and implement. Thank you. Then, in order and uninterrupted: 3 x 5L, 5R Kettlebell floor press 15 Tire flip (or, if needed, 5 kettlebell deadlift + 30 kettlebell swing + 15 "Floor to feet") 50 Jumping pull-up 50 Abmat sit-up @ 25lb. W, 35lb. M 150 Jumprope 150 Jumping jacks 15 calories Airdyne/ equivalent @ 100% (arms and legs) No rest, hard work, quality movement. Fatigue does not change position or range. "Simple" should only equate to "easy" in those that are looking for both... If floor press positions or mechanics are not clear and second-nature, review the YouTube video and its accompanying bullets prior to beginning. Tire flip: Set up hard, mind position and execution, and move with force and intent. Use assistance as needed, and stay aggressive- there is absolutely no value to a casual tire flip. Attach, adjust, brace, and drive; The steps don’t have to take long, but they need to occur. And then, skill work: Mace lifts and swings Kettlebell snatch/ variations

With the guidance of a qualified trainer, or referring to our Movement Library/ asking forum questions, review and practice the relevant details of each chosen lift, and work until improvement is made. Start with the basic handling and intro positions, and add weight/ difficulty as appropriate. Today, as opposed to designating lifts, we will self-assess for our own training, and make intelligent recommendations for each member of the group based on experience and prior performance. There are always details to address, in nearly every lift and movement on our list.

Note: Never make the mental mistake of thinking you’re too advanced for skill work in any realm.


And finally, "Time under tension":

10 "Prison" Abmat sit-up @ minimum of :30 sec. each + 3 x :30 sec. full-effort, positionally vigilant hollow hold +

Movement/ assessment/ mobility

Abmat sit-up: Brace, move with total control and positional awareness, and take a long fucking time in each rep. If you fail, you fail. But then, you'll know.
