Somebody would like to say Hi!
Everyone meet Justice the newest member of the family!
I told you all, I would have a surprise for you this week to help keep you motivated and on track for Sit Ups For Pups. So if doing it for the lovely Liberty Bell, Klyde, Maverick, and all the other CFDNR pups wasn’t enough then let me you tell you a bit about this sweet little rescue named Justice. She is only 7 months old but has been through a life time of terrible. Just one month ago she had to have her left rear leg amputated due to a previous fracture that healed inappropriately. She also had rib fractures and signs of strangulation when she was found as a stray. But none of this has slowed her down one bit! So you shouldn’t slow down on your Sit Ups For Pups either as you are helping fight for those that don’t have a voice. Lets do this CFDNR and CFBullies!

Body Armor
3 Sets
Not for Time:
10 Banded Barbel Bent Over Rows
10 Pistols
10 Double KB Snatch
10 Pistols
Rest 2:00 between sets.
STIMULUS
GENERAL
A “Giant Set” means that you’ll move with a purpose from one movement to the next while prioritizing quality over speed
Upper body and midline focus on today’s Body Armor
MOVEMENTS
BANDED BARBELL BENT OVER ROW
Stand on band to create tension as the row is completed
Lock in midline during row (no motion at the hips)
Pause for 1s at the top of each repetition
Weights do not touch the ground between reps – keep lats and midline engaged
PISTOLS + WEIGHTED PISTOLS
Alternating legs for 10 reps total, or 5 each leg
We complete 10 pistols twice in each set, first set unweighted, second weighted
Dumbbell, Kettlebell, or small plate can all be used here
DOUBLE HANG KB SNATCH
Similar to a regular KBS in range of motion, just now with 2xKB’s and with a turnover at the top
Weights start from the hang position
Upon hip extension, keep bells close to the body in a “pull + punch” motion
Start light, and build as mechanics are dialed in”

“Simple Plan”
3 Rounds For Time:
50 Air Squats
35 Pushups
25/18 Calorie Air Runner
*Wearing a 20/14 Weight Vest
STIMULUS
GENERAL
Bodyweight movements are the highlight of this simple triplet workout
If you have it, wear a 20/14 pound vest for the workout
If you don’t have a weight vest:
Increase the Air Squats to 75 Reps
Increase the Push-ups to 50 Reps
The balance between lower body push, upper body push, and total body pull should allow you to move relatively quickly through each movement
We expect times these three rounds to take around 9-15 minutes to complete
PUSH-UPS
Choose a push-up variation that allows you to complete at least sets of 5 within the workout
The 35 reps shouldn’t take more than 1:30 to complete
Adjust the reps or variation as needed
STRATEGY
AIR SQUATS
Knowing the push-ups follow the air squats, we can aim to cycle these 50 reps fairly quickly
Just squatting 1 second slower over these 3 rounds results in a difference of almost 3 minutes
After the 50 reps, the legs get a chance to recover while we use strictly the upper body
PUSH-UPS
We have 105 total reps of push-ups in today’s workout
The upside is that the movements that surround the push-ups use different muscle groups
Because of this, the chest and triceps get a rest for between 3-5 minutes before having to push again
That being said, let’s be intelligently aggressive through the 35 reps each round
We still want to break these before you have to grind out reps
Consider the following options:
1 Sets: 35
2 Sets: 20-15
3 Sets: 15-10-10
4 Sets: 10-10-8-7
5 Sets: 7-7-7-7-7
6 Sets: 10-5-5-5-5-5
7 Sets: 5-5-5-5-5-5-5
AIR RUNNER
See if you can push the pace on the Air Runner
Just like on any machine, you are rewarded for a higher power output
The air squats to follow are a nice incentive to move with a purpose, as you’ll still be able to keep moving under fatigue
