*Check out our newest instructional video “The Jerk Store“.

A. Work to a 3RM Thruster (instructional video)
B. Four rounds of:
1 min Wall Ball 10/6kg (instructional video)
Rest/Burpees (instructional video)

*Well done to Meg who hit a PB Deadlift of 70kg (multiple times) in 14.3 at 47kg B.W!
Five rounds of:
Dumbbell Shoulder Press 8-10 reps
Max reps strict Pull-up
*Rest 2 min. between rounds.
Tips: The weight for the shoulder press is to be maintained. Pick a weight that is challenging but not absolutely maximal for the 8-10 reps. Add weight if you’ve got more than 15/10 strict pull-ups and if you have minimal pull-ups, pick a number to be repeated each round.
AMRAP in 25 minutes of:
Farmers Carry
Run
Overhead Carry
Run
*Choose your own load for both movements.
*The course for the workout is the short loop (out the back door/in the front door).
Tips: Pick sensible loads for the FC and OHC that allow you to perform the distance with a maximum of 2-3 breaks per round. Think about maintaining good posture for each movement i.e. chest/eyes up, scapula retracted and shoulders elevated for the FC and shoulders active, elbows locked, neutral spine and Lats engaged overhead.
Five rounds for load of:
1 Shoulder Press
3 Push Press
5 Push Jerk
*Superset with a max effort set of Strict Pull-ups (see video here)
*All 9 barbell movements need to be performed in a single set.
*Correct movement is to be used eg. no push jerking the push press or push pressing the strict press.
*Rest 3 minutes between rounds.
*Aim to increment the weight on each round.
Tips: Be incremental in your weight choice with this complex. Remember that the shoulder press is a very finite movement that is limited by small muscle groups – small jumps mean big differences in difficulty.
Don’t forget your breathing – this is a potent complex that will leave you puffing like you just sprinted 400m. The challenge is to set your breath to aid with stability through the trunk while getting enough air in to see you get through the nine reps. Enjoy.
Working on the minute, complete 4 cycles of:
Back Squat 8 reps
Toes to Bar 30 seconds (see video)
Weighted Lunge 10 reps (5 per leg)
Strict Abmat Sit-up 30 seconds

*You must stay within the cycle for rx’d.
*Choose your own load for Back Squat and Lunge – must be maintained.
Post loads and reps to comments.
*A foam roller has disappeared from the gym – if anyone has taken it home by accident, could you please bring it back.
*Don’t forget to log your scores for 14.2 – the deadline is 11.00am Tuesday.
A. Power Clean 3-3-3-3-3-3-3
B. AMRAP in 10 min:
7 Deadlift (see video here)
30 Mountain Climbers
*Partner workout – partners must change every 30 seconds.
*Choose your own load for the deadlift – see below.
Tips: For Part A – after warming up take strictly seven sets to find a 3 rep max for the day. These reps are NOT to be done touch and go and you should take a good few seconds to ensure the correct start position before going for the 2nd and 3rd reps. For the deadlifts in part B pick a load that is heavy enough not to take for granted but not so heavy that you would expect to have to break up the sets – somewhere around 1RM Clean would be the suggestion. An advanced athlete may be able to get a round out in each 30 second work interval which equates to 70 reps in 10 minutes – take this (total volume of work) into account when you choose your load.
