Retest time! Although this cycle hasn’t been the traditional linear type progression, we have seen a ton of volume and variation of shoulder strength and stability. Stay focused as you warm up and be sure you spend extra time if needed with activation through the upper back, midline and shoulders. Having your shoulders feel a little “pumped” going into your working sets is ok.
Today’s conditioning piece will be equally taxing on the shoulders as well as our cardiovascular system. The “up and down” nature of this workout will cause us to spike earlier than planned. The trick will be breathing as you move. The barbell is moderate, the push up is a “simple” movement and the Double-Unders could be a rest. It’s all about how you approach each movement. Will you panic? Or will you remain calm and be present? Rushing through without a focus on your breathing pattern will be a mistake. We warned you!

Across the last eight weeks we have done a variety of static hold, pulling and pushing. We have explored some classic movements as well as mixed in a bit of non-traditional work. In a test such as this, we should not expect a large margin of increase. However, even a small amount of progress is HUGE when it comes to this type of test. A mental aspect will come into play as well, you’ve been here, hang on for the extra 10-15s when your mind is telling you to quit. Remember, effort is a choice.
You know what to do, execute.
Wednesday 8/11/21
A. Conventional Deadlift:
Establish a 5RM Deadlift
B. For Time:
21-15-9
Hang Power Clean 115/85
Burpee Box Jump Over 24/20”
This should be no surprise! With the ample opportunities and the steady build between control and speed, we’ve done the work. Now let’s get in the gym, crank the music and throw some weight around. We encourage you to lift in pairs as the power of the group is known.
For our retest we see a twist on our workout from the first week of Stonewall. The movements are similar but the task has switched from an AMRAP to a for time. The goal should be to move the barbell unbroken the entire time and gradually pick up the pace of our BBJO’s as we move through the workout. Be prepared to sell your soul on the last nine reps . . . tomorrow is a rest day anyway!
