• 4 walk out to high plank + push up+ walk back to standing
• 15 plate ground to overhead
• 40 butt kickers

then, warm up to your DB weight being used in the challenge workout:

• 3x6 DB clean & press each side. Start at a lighter weight and then find the weight you will use in your workout.

• Bench 6x6x60% +5lbs 

Auxiliary Work

3 rounds of:

• 15-20 bent over banded tricep extensions
• 15 hammer curls
• 12-15 db skull crushers

"CHALLENGE WORKOUT #3"

complete 4 rounds for time of:

• 200 meter run
• 8 "alternating" DB single arm clean & press *weight is based on bodyweight, see below (total of 4 each arm)
• 1 min plank hold

Training Notes:

Bench Press: the percentage is a starting point. If you're unable to complete the sets/reps at that percentage lower the weight. We are also adding 5lbs from last week's work (keep track of your weights used). If you're unable to add 5lbs.. you may have "went too quick out the gate" and your starting weight may have been a little too heavy to add from last week. Stay where you're at and try again next week. 

Challenge Workout #3:

200 meter run: Substitutions can be rowing,100 double unders/jump rope, or 100 toe taps. *If you are a beginner, reduce these numbers to 100m running or rowing, 50 jump rope, or 50-75 toe taps. Find the right target level so that you can be successful and finish this workout.. Finishing is the Goal!

Alternating DB single arm clean & press: Each rep must start below the hips and finish locked out overhead.  You can tap db to the floor if you like but not necessary.

DB weights based on bodyweight: 25lb under 140lbs, 35lb under 180lbs, 45lbs over 180lbs.  Scale this by using a lower DB weight you're comfortable with.

1 min plank: this is an accumulative total of 1min. Keep a timer in front of you and if you drop, stop the timer until your ready to plank again.  This movement can be scaled to a "high" plank with arms extended and/or knee supported. Scale this by reducing the time to 40secs each round.
