Workout Overview

Stimulus

After an initial buy-in run, complete max rounds of push press + box jumps. Each AMRAP starts with the buy-in run, but you'll pick up where you left off on the push press + box jump couplet. So if you completed 2 rounds + 3 push press in the first AMRAP, begin your next AMRAP with the 400m run buy-in, then complete your 4th push press and so on.

Scoring

Score: Rounds + Reps

Movements

Target Score: 4-7 Rounds 

Stimulus: Moderate Weight

Run: Should be completed in 2:15 or less.

Push Press: Choose a barbell weight you can complete within 2 sets.

Box Jumps: Must reach full lockout/extension of the hips/knees at the top of the box. Step down off the top of the box - no rebounding.  Should be able to complete 21 in about a minute.

The One | Teaching Focus

Fast & Furious

This emphasis applies to multiple points of the lift. We want athletes to be quick, efficient, and even a little violent in the dip, the drive, and the press.

Strategies

Because we're starting the runs fresh each round after 4 minutes of rest, look to push the pace at the beginning of your run before settling. You still want to be able to immediately pick up the barbell at the conclusion of your run.

Be sure to use the rest periods between AMRAPs to record how many rounds and reps you have accumulated so you know where to pick up.

Look For

  • Run: Be sure athletes have chosen a distance that allows them to come in around the 2:00 mark. 
  • Push Press: Look for the hips to be the mover here, we want athletes to fully extend hard each rep.
  • Box Jumps: Focus on athletes landing soft on the box, if they work to be explosive and jump high they tend to land softer on the box.
