Warmup:

10

min

Equipment:

Barbell, Pull-Up Bar

Cooldown:

5

min

Modality:

Gymnastics, Weightlifting

Coaching notes

Begin with a warm-up including shoulder mobility, leg strength exercises, and light thrusters with an empty barbell. Start with 21 Thrusters at the prescribed weight (135lbs for males, 95lbs for females), focusing on a fluid transition from squat to overhead press. Scale the weight down if necessary to maintain form. Move to 21 Burpees, aiming for a steady pace and efficient movement. Transition to 21 Pull-Ups, maintaining a full range of motion and strong grip; scale to banded pull-ups or ring rows if needed. Continue with sets of 15 and 9 reps for each exercise, keeping a consistent intensity and form. After completing the workout, cool down with light cardio and stretching, particularly focusing on your shoulders, back, and legs. The goal is to balance the explosive power of thrusters with the endurance required for burpees and pull-ups, maintaining consistent pacing and form throughout the workout.
