Athletes Notes

Score

  • When scoring the runs, we will keep it simple and do every meter counts as a rep. If you make it through 6 rounds and in the 7th round you only run 100m, then your score is 6+110 (10 for the pike push ups + 100 for the meters)

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • AMRAP = As many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes.
  • Pike Push Up OR Kipping Handstand Push Up: We need to be wise here. This will accumulate to a lot of volume, and if you aren’t ready for it, it could cause you to reach failure.
    • We want to be capable of completing at least 2 sets of 5. I would not advise going 10 unbroken each round unless you feel EXTREMELY proficient in your upper body pressing. Go in with a plan and stick with it 🙂
  • Runs: we need to aim to keep the runs around 1:00 – give or a take a couple seconds – focus on relaxing your arms / hands as much as you can and have good breathing.

Substitution

  • Pike Push Ups / Kipping Handstand Push Ups –> 15 Pike Shrugs OR Scap Only Push Up
  • Run –> if you feel you are bad at running or cannot run check out these options
    • Option 1: Run for 1 minute every round and don’t worry about the distance
    • Option 2: Complete 1 minute of High Knees or Skipping in Place each round.

Minimal: “Still a Soldier” (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

AMRAP 15 Minutes
10 Dumbbell Push Press (2×50/35)
200m Run

Athletes Notes

Score

  • When scoring the runs, we will keep it simple and do every meter counts as a rep. If you make it through 6 rounds and in the 7th round you only run 100m, then your score is 6+110 (10 for the push press + 100 for the meters)

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • AMRAP = As many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes.
  • Dumbbell Push Press : We need to be wise here. We want to be capable of completing at least 2 sets of 5, if not 10 unbroken each time. If you have to set the weight down any more than 1 time per 10 reps, then you are not going to get the same stimulus that it was written for. BUT….Don’t push to failure to go 10 unbroken and then on your next round, you are struggling to get reps in. Go in with a plan and aim to stick with it.
  • Runs: we need to aim to keep the runs around 1:00 – give or a take a couple seconds – focus on relaxing your arms / hands as much as you can and have good breathing.
