(Video Brief)
Hello PRVN Affiliates,
For our conditioning focus this week, we are starting things off
on Monday with a banger of a workout. We have a sprint
couplet that works to provide a nice dose of intensity and
interference. Tuesday we are tackling a challenging threshold
style workout meant to target our progression towards a Jackie
PR with the combination of escalating Pull-Ups, light barbell
Thrusters, and Calories on the Rower. Wednesday has us
working into a longer V02 Max style workout of 4 minutes on
/2 off for 6 sets of a flowy triplet of Echo Bike, Toe to Bar and
Burpee Box Jump Overs. Thursday will primarily just be a
strength day for our Main WOD, but we do have some active
recovery endurance work for our competitor crew or anyone
looking for a lighter day to do something more recovery
focused in Open Gym. Then, on Friday we finish off the main
part of the week with a challenging workout that gives us vibes
of Semi Final Event #1 with Running + Clean and Jerks. The
goal here is to work on fast running and quick singles on the
Barbell. Saturday, will be a partner triplet of Wall Balls, Bar
Muscle-Ups, and Abmat Sit-Ups with varying styles to how
we are tackling the movements with our partner. Then on
Sunday we finish things off with some gymnastics strength
focused work with Handstand Push-Ups and accessory
movements.

Place a dumbbell or sandbag on your lap for the hip thrusts.
Scaling Options:
- Traditional Burpees: If the Devil's Press is too
challenging or if you're working on building the
necessary strength, you can scale down to traditional
burpees. This alternative focuses on the push-up and
jump elements of the movement.
- Dual Dumbbell Muscle Snatch: After completing the
burpees, proceed with a Dual Dumbbell Muscle Snatch.
This involves lifting the dumbbells from the ground to
an overhead position in one fluid motion.
- Combination for Reps: If the prescribed reps are, for
example, 10 Devil's Presses, the scaled version would
be 10 Burpees followed by 10 Dual Dumbbell Muscle
Snatches.
Double Unders:
- Keep your eyes forward and down, gazing about 4ft
in front. Maintain hands at the pockets and concentrate
on flicking the wrist twice to achieve the double under.
- Consistent gaze and wrist action are key for efficient
double unders. Encourage a relaxed shoulder position
and a rhythmic jumping pattern.

Record Each Working We will combine this with a
Weight heavy Goblet Squat load,
where we are only looking
for 4-6 reps at a load that
allows for speed of repetition
and a quality upright torso.
To increase the challenge
here we could move to a
Dual Kettlebell Front Rack
Squat today to enhance both
loading and positions.
Goals / Stimulus / Objectives
Goal: ~ 4 Rounds
Thruster
- In performing the Barbell Thruster from the floor, we
are looking to have the barbell either Power Cleaned or
Squat Cleaned into a solid front rack position, ensuring
that the barbell is securely placed with your elbows
pointing forward and out, ahead of the bar. This setup
is key for stability and efficiency.
Calorie Row
- Focus on leg drive through the first half of the pull,
then work on the body and arms staying connected
through the finish.
- The chain should stay in a straight chain path
throughout the entire drive phase as we finish hard at
the sternum.
- Finishing higher or lower on the body is not ideal and
should be worked to be avoided.
- If needed, scale the row to ski erg as the first option or
we could move to the same calories on the Bike Erg.
- Mono Equivalent Chart
Alternate Variations
Set-Up the room in a way that has all the boxes in one line and
have athletes face the box to keep the spacing as tight as
possible in a big class setting. Remember that this is a total
24:00 minutes of work, so pace yourself early knowing that
you will likely hit some sore or muscular or aerobic fatigue
around set 3 here. If you go into this gradually you should be
feeling strong towards the end of the workout.

Primary Objective: Maintaining Consistent
en sets paces per set. This is a workout where there
could be massive drop-offs if not tackled
0'' correctly.
Secondary Objective: Each set of Burpee
me / All Sets Box Jump Overs in under 15 seconds.
This workout is meant to flow from the bike
to the burpee box jump overs and then up to
the rig, then back to the box, and back on
the bike. This should flow well and feel like
the workout just creates natural transitions.
The sets are not too big and allow for us to
push the transitions in order to keep the
pace. 4 minutes will feel like a lot of time
here, especially after a couple of rounds, so
really understand your pacing strategy and
tackle this correctly. The goal is a longer
hard sustained workout and building of
volume and capacity.

Echo Bike
- Aim to maintain forward momentum, avoiding any
side-to-side movements of the body. Concentrate on
effectively utilizing both your arms and legs: engage in
a push-and-pull motion with your arms while
simultaneously exerting force downwards through your
legs. This coordinated effort helps maximize efficiency
