A.
Every 90 seconds, for 24 minutes (4 sets):
Station 1 – Single-Leg Squat (“Pistols”) x 6 reps each leg @ 2111
Station 2 – Slider Hamstring Curls x 10-12 reps @ 2111
(if you don’t have a Valslide or furniture sliders, perform prone lying banded leg curls for 20-25 reps)
Station 3 – Hollow Body Hold x 60 seconds
Station 4 – Supinated-Grip Bent-Over Barbell Row x 6-8 reps @ 2111
For the pistols, focus on keeping a tight belly and pull yourself to your bottom position. Use a target or box if needed. You can stand on the box and lower yourself to the floor as another option. For the hollow body, experiment with squeezing your pecs and notice how it strengthens your hold.
B.
For max reps:
4 Minutes of Dumbbell Burpee Box Step-Overs (55/35 lb DBs over 20″ box)
Rest 60 seconds, and then…

For max calories:
4 Minutes of Rowing
*If you did the 1000m row test on Monday, you have the option to do 4 minutes of unbroken plank holds instead. You can rotate between any plank position as you see fit but DO NOT REST! If you need a “break” then hold in a glute bridge until you are able to continue planking.
