Focus
- Macro: Preparing for the Open
- A continuation of the previous month. Expect to see prior Open workouts repeated as well as efforts that test your capacity to keep moving and pushing forward for one more rep. Remember, every second counts.
- We will also test Grace, a 2K row, and a 3-rep-max front squat.

- Use the first 5 sets to elevate your heart rate and move through full range of motion.
- The next set should help you dial in your technique.
- In the final 3 sets, build in load to find your starting workout weight.

Stimulus & Goals
- Box jumps in :20-:30.
- Unbroken squat cleans finished by 1:00 to allow 1:00 of rest.
- Athlete chooses load.
- Lower-body strength and endurance.

Strategy
- Aim to increase your loading across as many sets as possible, ultimately finding the heaviest set of 3 for this workout.
- On the box jumps, focus on your speed when you step down from the box.

Modifications
Box jumps | Height, box step-ups
Hang squat cleans | Load, hang power cleans, dumbbell hang squat cleans

Stimulus & Goals
- 6:00-12:00.
- Each row in :35-:45; maintain a 1:45/2:30 pace.
- Bar muscle-ups in 1-2 sets.
- Sprint workout with upper-body pulling interference.

Strategy
- Stay smooth on the rower, focusing on driving your legs hard and pulling less on the handle to save your pulling for the bar muscle-ups.

Modifications
Bar muscle-ups | Reps, jumping bar muscle-ups, jumping chest-to-bar pull-ups, foot-assisted pull-ups and/or dips
Row | Distance, substitutions

- Pinch a dumbbell or medicine ball between your legs or use a weight belt to add weight to the dips.
- Perform the dips on rings or dip bars. Advanced athletes should perform their reps on rings.
- Switch the movement to double-dumbbell shoulder presses if you cannot perform strict handstand push-ups.
- If you are not proficient or have limited mobility with the dips, avoid adding weight; use a band for assistance if needed.
