CrossFit:
B.) 12min. to get as many STRICT pull-ups as possible!
Every time you break, you must complete:
10 Push-Ups
20 Double Unders
This is going to be a really fun challenge!! You start on the pull-up bar and bang out as many strict pull-ups as possible. As soon as you drop, you must complete the 10 push-ups and 20 double unders before you hop on the bar again for another attempt.
This is going to be a great pump! A nice little breather! And just all around super fun!
DON’T CHEAT those pull-ups! Make them legit strict pull-ups with no swinging! Do inverted pull-ups as a scaling option.
You may also switch between underhand and overhand grip at anytime!
The advanced option is bar muscle ups 🙂

1.) 400m Single Arm Heavy KB Farmer Carry (70lb for men and 53lb. for women)

Booty Crew:
Reverse drop set: We are going to start at a nice challenging weight and do a 5 min EMOM, then add a little bit of weight and do another 5 min EMOM, and follow that pattern for 2 more 5 min EMOMs.
A.) EMOM 5 min: Deficit today!
12 Barbell Hip Thrusts (with 1 pulse at the bottom of each rep)
EMOM 5 min:
12 Barbell Hip Thrusts (a little heavier and with a pulse at the top of each rep)
EMOM 5 min:
25 Hip Thrust Pulses (top or bottom whatever you like best)
EMOM 5 min:
6-8 HEAVY hip thrusts (now that your glutes are fully toasted lets see what you can do!)
B.) 20min AMRAP:
10e Deficit Lunges
10e Single leg Deficit RDL
15e Mermaid Crunches (:30 sec each side)
5-10 Handstand Kick Ups
C.) 20min AMRAP:
15e Curtsy Lunges
Max Set banded Abductions of your choice
15e Side Lying Plate Abductions
20 GHD Sit Ups
5-10 Handstand Kick Ups
Sweat:
Hit each 3min. AMRAP with as fast as an effort as possible, BUT with just a little left in the tank so that you can get close to repeating that effort for all 4 rounds. Ideally, you would stay between 5-6 reps on your best and worst rounds.
Since most people are not super proficient at overhead squats, I just wanted to keep the weight light here and hammer out reps with just the bar. Beware though! It still does get spicy! If you’re advanced though and you want to add a little weight, go for it. I suggest 95/65 if so 🙂

Calves:
8 Rounds:
20sec. of Weighted Seated Calf Raises
10sec. Hold at the top
*There is no rest at any point and this gets tough after about 2min. Hang in there and try not to rest. Also, try to shoot for the same number of reps each round on the raises.
*I recommend the weight being on the lighter side. Just 20-25lbs. should be plenty for men. About half that for ladies.

Recommended Warm-Up Routine:
1.) Spend 5-10min. on any kind of low impact cardio
2.) Spend 5min. either foam rolling the primary muscle groups for the day or doing a few stretches that will benefit the primary lift for the day.
3.) Complete 1-3 sets of every movement above with lighter weights that your working sets. (For most of you, this all that’s needed
