Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • 45 total reps of each movement here. Be VERY careful that you don’t start out too hot since the reps start low…they build and if you aren’t careful they will crush you (especially on the pike push up/kipping handstand push ups)
  • Bodyweight Single Leg RDL – smooth is fast here.
  • Pike Push Up or Kipping Handstand Push Up – a good strategy for this might be quick sets of 3 all the way through….even if you know you can bust out the 6 and 9 unbroken…it could cause you to struggle on the 12 and 15. Find what works best for YOU.

Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • 45 total reps today. It’s going to be a fast one and a grippy one…..BUT Don’t get sucked into the idea that you should sprint this one from the start.
  • This can be a bit deceptive since you start with easy 3,6,9 reps. But if you come out too fast, you may not be able to hold on for the 12 and 15 rounds.
  • The goal here should be that you can plan accordingly to go straight from your final power clean up on the shoulders and into your push presses. Just like we did when we worked on Dumbbell DT, we want to be sure we aren’t giving ourselves extra work. So if you need to break in the set of 12, set the dumbbells down on rep 11 then rest quickly. When you go to do your final 12th rep, you can then go straight from the top of the power clean into the push presses.
  • The same dumbbell weight should be used for both the Dumbbell Power Clean AND the Dumbbell Push Press

Mayhem Moms

If you don’t feel confident completing the workout as written, you can try this version to allow for slightly less high intensity and more core control.
