WHITE BOARD BRIEF

Target reps | 7-10+ rounds

Today’s workout is a play on the workout “Cindy” that consists of 5-10-15 of pull-ups, push-ups, and squats. Athletes will do the same reps, but with chin-ups, DB bench press, and DB deadlifts.

The rounds in this workout will be slower than in Cindy, but the load is light so moving quickly is still possible. That being said, all of these movements are likely to fatigue quickly.

Athletes should be able to keep the DB movements to 1-2 sets without taking longer than 2:00 on any round. The load of the DBs can be scaled to make this happen.

For the chin-up, scale to banded chin-ups or ring rows with the hands in supinated position. The feet can also be elevated to make the ring row more challenging, but make sure the palms remain supinated to preserve the stimulus of the chin-up.

Prior to the workout we’ll perform 8:00 of sumo deadlifts. This is an opportunity to build volume at moderate loads, not go heavy. Aim for consistency and speed across every set.
