• With two gymnastics bar movements today, we’ll focus on maintaining an active hang through the shoulder throughout by constantly pulling down on the bar with straight arms
• This allows us to better control our bodies through space, as the shoulders initiate the kip
• The scap pull-ups in movement prep have us move from an active hang to a dead hang
• We’ll then isolate the active hang for 15 seconds to feel out what we’re looking for during these movements
Movement Prep

15 Second Active Hang

3 Knees to Chest
3 Chin Over Bar Pull-ups

BOX JUMPS OVERS – Full Extension
• The box jump over is a great place to practice full hip extension for the push jerks that are also in the workout
• We’ll practice full hip extension in this bodyweight movement by first completing some max height jumps in place
• The goal once we get to the box (and on the barbell) is to get tall before we get small
Movement Prep
5 Max Height Jumps In Place (No Box)
4 Box Jump Overs (Low Box)
3 Box Jump Overs (Workout Box)
PUSH JERKS – Push Down
• After getting tall with a strong hip extension, we want to get under the weight by actively pressing ourselves down
• This allows us to receive the weight in a strong, locked out position overhead
• We’ll work on full hip extension with the push press first
• We’ll then layer in pressing underneath the weight with the tall jerk and the push jerk

• CONDITIONING CATEGORY: GRIND
• Let’s look to start conservative and finish fast today.
• Bigger sets on the stuff your great at and smarter sets on stuff you struggle with
• Aim to limit rest throughout the 10 minutes
PUSH JERKS
• Choose a moderate weight that allows you to clear the:
• Single digit rounds unbroken
• Double digit rounds in 2 sets
GYMNASTICS
• If you have over 15+ unbroken reps of each movement when fresh, complete this piece as written
• If you’re not there yet, consider choosing a variation of the movement to complete today
• To keep things simple with the rep scheme, look to modify the movement instead of the rep number

• This is not all out, but more about trying to squeeze out just enough power/effort that you can repeat and sustain for each round.
• If you are unsure what you can hold, approach this piece with the idea of trying to get a little faster/more calories each round. So, start slower and finish faster.

Abraham Lincoln once wrote that if he had six hours to cut down a tree, he would spend the first four sharpening the axe.
It doesn’t matter where you started, or even where you’ve been. All that matters is two questions:
Where do you want to go, and…
How hard are you willing to work to get there.
We have what we need. Everyone does. The separation comes down to who is willing to do the work.
Never whine.
Never complain.
Never make excuses.
