Tuesday 20251202

4 rounds for time of:
2 rope climbs to 15 feet
12 back squats
120 double-unders

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a spicy triplet with a moderately loaded barbell. If available, take the barbell from a rack and try to complete your reps unbroken in each set. These may be slow and challenging, which is the intended stimulus. If the weight is relatively light for you, move more quickly, but don’t sacrifice form. Choose options for all three movements that allow you to complete a single round in 5 minutes or less.

Monday 20251201

42-30-18 reps for time of:
GHD sit-ups
Dumbbell shoulder-to-overheads

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a gymnastics and weightlifting couplet. The midline stabilization and lower-body fatigue created by the GHD sit-ups will make the dumbbell shoulder-to-overheads more challenging, so manage your reps accordingly. The loading for the dumbbells should be moderate, but expect it to feel heavier than you want following the GHD. You should be able to perform consistent sets of 10 reps.

Bench press 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1 reps

Move slowly; maximize loads. Attempt to increase loads for each of the 9 sets.
