ALTERNATE AT-HOME WORKOUT OPTION – LIMITED EQUIPMENT
For our at-home and travel workouts, please start a clock and allow it to run throughout your training session. The entire session will take 60-minutes or less, and staying accountable to the clock will allow you to maintain the appropriate intensity and stimulus. Click here for the full workout briefing.

When the clock starts, perform…

Two sets of:

30 seconds of Inchworm Walk + Scap Push-Up + Press-Up

Breathe exclusively through your nose throughout this entire portion. If you find that your mouth drops open, you’re going too hard. Slow your pace and resume breathing only through your nose. Perform this at 75-80% effort.

Every minute, on the minute, for 20 minutes (4 sets of):
Station 1: 6-8 Left Leg Bulgarian Split Squats @ 3111

Inhale for 3-5 seconds through your nose…
Brief hold in…
Exhale for 6-10 seconds through your mouth (like you are blowing a whistle)…
Brief hold out.

Keep the ratio of inhale to exhale at a 1:2.

Coaches Note:
The intention of today’s session is to get in some solid upper body volume. During the 20 minute EMOM, focus on the handstand holds and make sure to transition quickly to the DB snatches or KB swings.
