Some interesting fun facts to share.
Science has measured humans to have 20,000 genes.
Science has also measured onions… which come in at over 40,000.
The idea of better or worse “gene pools” is a myth. They determine our natural hair and eye color, but we stand by this core belief to our last breath: they do not control our potential.
Another “gene” controls that. It’s called “Epigenetics”. A fancy word that says, we are the ultimate adaptation machine. It’s the quality that human beings can learn and grow faster than the vast majority of species on our planet.
The great thing about Epigenetics is that we’re all born with it.
Forget what you were born with. And focus on what you can become.

– Double Unders: Athletes should be able to complete every set of double unders in 1-2 sets.
– GHDSU: The standard height for the GHD is 40″/37″ for age groups 14-54 and 37″/31″ for age groups 55+.
– Run: Should be completed in 6:00 or less.
– Lunges: Dumbbells in farmer carry hold at sides.
– Score: Total time. If capped, add 1s for every missed rep.
– If you are proficient at double unders, aim for unbroken sets throughout the workout. If double unders tend to gas you, plan a quick break or 2 each time you come back to this movement.
– Find a steady pace on the GHD’s. If needed take a quick break or 2 each set. This break should not be longer than 5 seconds.
– The run in the middle does not need to be super fast but it can be a place to catch up or fall behind your buddies spending on your speed/ability. If you are a fast runner, lean into your strength here. If you are a slower runner, pace yourself and aim to make your move on the last portion of the workout.
– For the lunges, focus on glute activation and full range of motion, all the way down to touch your knee each rep.

– Have a goal pace to hold throughout or set a goal number of meters each interval to help stay focused.
– Be mindful of your grip on the row handle as we don’t want to tax the grip too much by holding on too tightly. Wearing your grips on the rower may be helpful as well. Have a goal pace to hold throughout or set a goal number of meters each interval to help stay focused.
– Quick small sets on the toes to bar will likely allow us to maintain a solid pace. We don’t want to rest too much between sets if we can help it.

Minute 3: 3 Wallballs + Max Burpees
…
Minute 15: 15 Wallballs + Max Burpees
WallBall: MRx: 14/12, Rx: 20/14
– Conditioning Category: Threshold
– Wallballs: Reps should be completed unbroken every round/minute.
– Burpees: These are standard burpees. Be sure to hit the chest to the floor in the bottom and to extend the hips and knees at the top with hands overhead and feet leave the floor just enough to slide a piece of paper under the feet.
– Note: There is no programmed rest in this workout. It is up to the athlete to choose how much time they would like to use to transition.
– Score: Total burpee reps.
– Because the wallball reps increase each round, we are naturally going to get less of a window for burpees every round. This does not mean we should sprint the first couple minutes as this will directly impact our performance in the later rounds.
– Let’s find a pace on the burpees we think we can sustain throughout the entire workout. Think about how you would pace 200 burpees for time and settle into that sort of pace for this workout.
– The wallballs will feel increasingly more difficult as you go. Think about stopping your burpees and giving yourself about 10-15 seconds to catch your breath before the next round of wallballs begins.
Prep

“What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important.” – Dwight Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower lived one of the most productive lives you can imagine. It comes with no surprise that his methods for time management have been studied by many.
He creates for us a divide between two categories – urgent tasks, and important tasks.
Urgent tasks are things that you feel like you need to react to. Emails, phone calls, texts, “the news”. Meanwhile, important tasks are things that contribute to our long-term goals.
Said another way, urgent things often distract us from important things. They attempt to pull the veil over our eyes and *seem* like the things we should be doing right now.
If we can cut the fluff – the wasted minutes – and apply those towards what actually moves us forward… we’re in for a great ride. The opposite is also true. If we get caught up in only the urgent tasks, we can go through a whole day, busy-as-ever, and feel like we got *absolutely nothing* accomplished.
Let’s take note of what we do today with a critical eye. And let’s cut the fluff.
Power Clean and Jerk (Weight)

Barbell: MRx: 115/75, Rx: 155/105, Rx+:205/145
– Conditioning Category: Grindy Threshold
– Power Cleans: Loading should not exceed 75% of your 1RM power clean.
– Ring Muscle-Ups: Athletes should be able to complete 5+ reps unbroken when fresh to complete reps as prescribed (see substitutions for scaling/other options).
– Run: Runs should be completed in about 30s each round.
– Score: Rounds + Reps. 100m = 1 Rep.
– The first few rounds of this workout are going to go by really fast. There is no need to rush here. The last thing we want to do is get through the first 5 rounds at a blazing speed, then be staring at the rings on round 6, totally gassed. Go out at a CONTROLLED speed.
– Use the runs as a recovery from the indoor movements.
– Chip away at the barbell reps in singles. Make the goal here to save the arms for the muscle-ups and to control the heart rate.
– Chip away at the ring muscle-ups however you see fit. If this is a good movement for you, aim to hold on for unbroken sets for as long as you can. If this movement isn’t your jam, break them up early and just try to rest for as little time as possible between sets.
– The longest break here is likely going to be between the power cleans and ring muscle-ups. Try to be intentional with your transition between these 2 movements instead of letting lots of time tick away in between.
