MONDAY

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
This is the ninth and final week of our 9-week Max Effort strength cycle. This is a back-off week to let the body recover a bit before transitioning to the new strength cycle beginning next week. You can choose to build in weight (between the prescribed percentages) over the working sets, or stay at the same weight across. Choose a dumbbell weight that allows the farmer's carry to be completed in 2 sets and the overhead carry unbroken. The bench press should be completed in no more than 2 sets, and the toes to bar in quick sets of 6 to avoid excessive grip fatigue. The priority today is building muscular endurance and durability through the carries, so encourage athletes to stick to these rep schemes and recover during transitions rather than breaking movements into smaller, unnecessary sets. Overall volume is lower because this is a back-off week. Training Effect This workout improves muscular endurance by exposing the upper body and core to long periods of tension under heavy loads. The carries challenge athletes to maintain posture and grip while fatigued, while the toes to bar and bench press build the ability to repeatedly produce force without a significant drop in performance. Movement Focus Lock the shoulders into place. We want to see the shoulders pulled back and down during the farmer's carry, overhead carry, bench press, and toes to bar. Create a stable shoulder position before each rep and maintain it throughout the movement. Coaching Concept Stable shoulders create efficient movement. When the shoulders are pulled back and down, the larger muscles of the back and trunk can support the load, making carries feel lighter, presses stronger, and hanging movements more controlled. When athletes allow the shoulders to round or shrug, they lose stability, fatigue more quickly, and place unnecessary stress on the shoulder joint.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 7-8

TUESDAY

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
Each round should take 1:45 or less, giving athletes approximately 0:15 before starting the next round. This mirrors the amount of rest they will have during next week's Beep Test benchmark. The run should take under 1:00, the burpee pull-ups should be one smooth jump-pull rhythm, and the thrusters should remain unbroken at this weight. Prioritize maintaining a consistent pace across all rounds, with the last round matching the first. Decrease the burpee pull-up reps before shortening the run. Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power by training athletes to repeatedly produce high-intensity efforts with limited recovery. The fixed work-to-rest ratio challenges athletes to sustain a pace near their VO₂ max while recovering just enough to repeat the effort with minimal drop-off. Coaching Concept Eliminate wasted movement. Every unnecessary step, shuffle, pause, or extra motion costs both time and energy. Over the course of a workout, those small inefficiencies add up, slowing athletes down and creating unnecessary fatigue. The most efficient athletes aren't always moving faster. They're simply moving with purpose, making every step and every rep contribute to the next one. Movement Prep Burpee Pull-up Footwork. Have athletes perform slow burpee pull-ups while focusing on landing with the hips directly underneath the bar before every jump. The goal is to eliminate extra steps and create one smooth, repeatable rhythm. Notes This is the workout weight and workout distance for next week's Beep Test benchmark. Today is an opportunity for athletes to finalize their strategy. Help them determine a run distance they can consistently complete in under one minute, the appropriate burpee pull-up variation (burpee pull-ups, burpee to target, or quick-up to target) that allows for smooth, repeatable reps, and a thruster weight they can complete unbroken throughout the workout. The goal is for athletes to leave class confident in exactly how they will attack next week's benchmark

MOVEMENTS

WEDNESDAY

WOD BRIEF -STIMULUS
This is the ninth and final week of our 9-week Max Effort strength cycle. This is a back-off week to let the body recover a bit before transitioning to the new strength cycle beginning next week. You can choose to build in weight (between the prescribed percentages) over the working sets, or stay at the same weight across. The first barbell should feel light enough for controlled touch-and-go sets of 3-5 reps, while the second barbell should be completed with quick singles. Row each 500m around 2:00 and each 250m around 1:00, maintaining a pace that allows athletes to increase intensity as the barbell gets heavier. Double unders should ideally remain unbroken throughout. The goal is to maintain consistent output while transitioning from longer aerobic efforts into shorter, higher-intensity intervals. Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power by teaching athletes to repeatedly work at a high intensity and recover quickly. The longer rows build the ability to sustain a strong pace, while the heavier cleans require athletes to continue producing power as fatigue accumulates. This combination improves an athlete's ability to work at a high intensity for longer periods of time without a significant drop in output. Coaching Concept The lower body is the engine behind powerful movement. When athletes create force from the legs and transfer it through a strong body position, they can produce more power with less fatigue. When they rely too much on the arms, movements become less efficient and more taxing. Movement Prep Pause Clean Pull. Start with the bar at mid shin. Have athletes pause at the top of the knee, then finish the pull by extending the hips, knees, and ankles before bending the arms. Focus on feeling the legs create the power before the arms finish the movement. Notes Prioritize the intended stimulus by adjusting the barbell load before reducing row distance or double under volume.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 7-8
• Target Loading:Light-Moderate to Moderate-Heavy
• Fitness Attribute:Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
• Target Score:10-14 Minutes (M), 11-15 Minutes (W)
• Clock Setting:Running

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus
Let the legs do the work. We want to see this in the row, double unders, and power cleans. On the row, the knees should be almost fully extended before the arms begin to pull. In double unders, keep the arms close to the body and turn the rope with the wrists instead of creating large arm circles. In the power clean, fully extend the ankles, knees, and hips before bending the arms and pulling underneath the bar.

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
Settle into a bike pace that can be sustained for the entire workout. Athletes should complete the single-leg v-ups and box jumps quickly, then return to the bike with minimal transition time. The goal is consistent calorie output across the 24 minutes. Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power by challenging athletes to maintain a strong aerobic output while repeatedly transitioning into higher-intensity movements. The bike creates a sustained cardiovascular demand, while the v-ups and box jumps add short bursts of muscular fatigue that athletes must recover from before returning to the bike. Coaching Concept Quality reps start with quality positions. Rushing from one rep to the next often leads to incomplete ranges of motion, poor mechanics, and unnecessary fatigue. A controlled reset allows athletes to create tension, move efficiently, and repeat strong reps for longer. Movement Prep Hollow body holds. Have athletes start lying on their back with arms and legs extended. Practice pressing the ribs down toward the pelvis, then fully relaxing back to the ground before recreating tension for the next rep. This reinforces the reset and re-engagement needed for consistent v-ups. Notes The goal is to minimize time away from the bike, so transitions should be quick and intentional. Make sure the room is set up with boxes and v-ups as close to the bike as possible.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 6-7
• Target Loading:Bodyweight
• Fitness Attribute:Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
• Target Score:14-18 Minutes (M), 16-20 Minutes (W)
• Clock Setting:E2MOM x 12

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus

FRIDAY
WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
Plyometrics, This piece develops explosive power and landing mechanics. Move crisply and fast, but never at the expense of good mechanics. This is the ninth and final week of our 9-week Max Effort strength cycle. This is a back-off week to let the body recover a bit before transitioning to the new strength cycle beginning next week. You can choose to build in weight (between the prescribed percentages) over the working sets, or stay at the same weight across.
Short, high-intensity couplet with heavy front squats as the primary limiter. Choose a barbell weight that allows the 9 front squats to be completed in 1-2 sets throughout the workout. The burpees over bar should be performed at a steady cadence that allows athletes to transition quickly back to the barbell without excessive fatigue. Each round should take approximately 1:00-1:30, with the goal of maintaining a consistent pace from the first round to the last.
Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power by challenging athletes to repeatedly perform high-intensity efforts with limited rest. The front squats require athletes to produce force under fatigue, while the burpees elevate the heart rate and challenge athletes to recover quickly before returning to the barbell. This improves the ability to sustain a high output when both cardiovascular and muscular fatigue are present.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 8-9
• Target Loading:Moderate-Heavy
• Fitness Attribute:Aerobic Power [VO₂ Max]
• Target Score:5:30-7:30 Minutes
• Clock Setting:Running

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus
Keep the elbows high and chest tall. We want to see this throughout the front squat. As athletes fatigue, elbows often drop, causing the chest to fall forward and shifting the movement away from a strong squat position. Before every rep, reset the front rack position with elbows up, chest tall, and core braced.

WODS FOR THE WEEK OF 8/17/2026

MINDSET
George Allen
"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."

MONDAY

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
This is the eighth week of our 9-week Max Effort strength cycle. This week, we're testing 3-rep maxes. The most common 3-rep max percentage is 90%, and most land between 85% and 95%. After the 3-3-1 reps building into your attempt, take no more than 2 sets to establish your 3RM (4-5 working sets total for the day). Choose a kettlebell weight that allows each round to be completed in 1-2 sets. Bike at a sustainable pace that allows you to transition immediately to the kettlebell without needing extra rest. Training Effect This workout improves muscular endurance by challenging athletes to sustain repeated contractions of the hips, legs, and shoulders while maintaining a strong aerobic output. The bike creates continuous cardiovascular demand, while the kettlebell swings teach athletes to repeatedly produce power without sacrificing movement quality. Coaching Concept Power is created by using the biggest muscles first. The legs and hips should generate the majority of force, allowing the upper body to stay relaxed and efficient. When athletes rely on their arms too early, movements become slower, less efficient, and more fatiguing. Movement Prep Broad Jump. Have athletes perform a series of broad jumps, resetting between each rep. Focus on loading the hips, driving aggressively through the legs, and finishing with full hip extension before landing in a balanced athletic position. Reinforcing that the same explosive hip extension used to project the body forward is what drives the kettlebell during the Russian swing. Notes Choose a kettlebell weight that allows athletes to maintain large, consistent sets throughout the workout. Scale the load before reducing repetitions to preserve the intended stimulus. Encourage athletes to transition immediately from the bike to the kettlebell and use the top of each swing, rather than standing still, as their opportunity to breathe.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 6-7
• Target Loading:Moderate
• Fitness Attribute Improved:Muscular Endurance
• Target Score:8-11 Minutes

ATHLETE FOCUS

TUESDAY

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
Today continues the build toward the CompTrain Beep Test by practicing the benchmark thruster weight and introducing burpee pull-ups. The goal is to maintain a repeatable 400m run pace across every interval while keeping the thrusters unbroken. As burpee pull-ups are added, athletes should maintain the same output rather than letting the added movement slow down the entire round. Athletes should have at least 0:30 of rest before the next interval begins. Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power by challenging athletes to repeatedly produce high-intensity efforts with limited rest. The run creates the primary cardiovascular demand, while the thrusters and burpee pull-ups require athletes to maintain power and movement efficiency as fatigue builds. Coaching Concept Wasted movement costs time and energy. In longer workouts, small extra steps, pauses, and inefficient positions add up quickly. Efficient athletes find the shortest path between movements, allowing them to maintain a higher output for longer without creating unnecessary fatigue. Movement Prep Burpee Pull-Up Jump. Have athletes practice stepping down into the burpee and jumping directly underneath the bar. Focus on landing with the hips under the bar, using the jump to create momentum into the pull-up, and maintaining a smooth rhythm from the floor to the bar. Notes This workout uses the benchmark thruster weight and run distance for next week's CompTrain Beep Test. Athletes should use today to identify the pacing, loading, and burpee pull-up variation they can repeat across every interval. Scale the thruster load before breaking sets. The Rx burpee pull-up target should be a bar that is just out of reach. Scale the burpee pull-up by first lowering the target height, then to a burpee to a target (jumping to touch the rig), and finally to a quick-up to a target if needed. Adjust the run distance only enough to consistently finish each interval with at least 0:30 of rest.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 8-9
• Target Loading:Light (35-45%)
• Fitness Attribute Improved:Aerobic Power [VO2 Max]
• Target Score:6:30-8:00

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus
Keep the hips under the bar. We want to see this in the burpee pull-up. Athletes should land their jump directly underneath the pull-up bar, allowing them to move straight from the jump into the pull. Avoid jumping forward, stepping back, or creating extra movement between the burpee and pull-up, as these small inefficiencies add up and create unnecessary fatigue.

WEDNESDAY

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
This is the eighth week of our 9-week Max Effort strength cycle. This week, we're testing 3-rep maxes. The most common 3-rep max percentage is 90%, and most land between 85% and 95%. After the 3-3-1 reps building into your attempt, take no more than 2 sets to establish your 3RM (4-5 working sets total for the day). The goal is to maintain a strong, sustainable pace through the rows while managing fatigue from the push-ups and toes to bar. The buy-in row should be controlled enough to leave energy for the middle portion, while the cash-out row is where athletes can empty the tank. Push-ups should be completed in planned sets from the first round, and toes to bar should be broken early to preserve grip for the final row. Each middle round should take approximately 1:30-2:00. Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power and muscular endurance by challenging athletes to sustain a high output while repeatedly using the shoulders, core, and grip. The row creates a continuous aerobic demand, while the push-ups and toes to bar force athletes to manage local fatigue and maintain quality movement under stress. Coaching Concept A connected body transfers force more efficiently. When athletes lose tension through the trunk, power leaks out and every rep becomes harder. Maintaining a strong, connected position allows movement to stay efficient and repeatable as fatigue builds. Movement Prep Plank Rockers. Have athletes begin in a strong plank with the ribs pulled toward the pelvis and glutes squeezed. Shift the shoulders slightly in front of and behind the wrists while maintaining one straight line from shoulders to heels. Focus on maintaining tension through the trunk without the hips sagging or piking. Notes Athletes should establish a push-up break strategy from the first round, aiming for two to three consistent sets rather than working to failure. Scale to an incline or knee push-up before reducing repetitions. Scale toes to bar to hanging knee raises, kip swings, or v-ups if needed. Adjust the row distance before reducing intensity so athletes stay within the intended time domain.
MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 7-8
• Target Loading:Bodyweight
• Fitness Attribute Improved:Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold], Muscular Endurance
• Target Score:11-14 Minutes

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus
Move as one piece. We want to see this in the push-up and toes to bar. In the push-up, the shoulders, hips, and knees should rise together without the hips sagging or the chest lifting first. In the toes to bar, maintain a tight hollow body as the shoulders press down into the bar, allowing the body to move as one unit instead of losing tension through the midline.

THURSDAY
WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
This is a 28-minute EMOM where consistency is the goal. Athletes should choose numbers they can maintain across all seven rounds rather than chasing a big first round. Bike calories should take around 0:40, hang power sn**ches should be completed in one unbroken set, and box jumps should be performed at a steady rhythm. Every station should leave at least 0:10 to transition to the next movement. Training Effect This workout improves aerobic power by challenging athletes to repeatedly produce moderate-to-high intensity efforts while recovering in short windows. The combination of bike intervals and explosive movements teaches athletes to maintain power output and quality movement over a longer duration. Coaching Concept Powerful movements come from using the strongest muscles first. The hips and legs create the majority of force in explosive movements, while the arms guide and finish the movement. When athletes rely on their arms too early, they lose power and create unnecessary fatigue. Movement Prep Tall Sn**ch. Have athletes start standing tall with the bar at the hips, balanced on their toes with the knees and hips fully extended and shoulders shrugged. From this position, athletes should immediately drop into the receiving position by pulling themselves under the bar. Focus on a fast turnover, strong overhead position, and moving down before the bar has time to travel upward. Notes Choose station numbers athletes can maintain for all seven rounds. If the hang power sn**ch requires multiple breaks early, reduce the load or rep target. Box jumps should be step-downs to preserve quality and manage fatigue.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 6-7
• Target Loading:Light-Moderate
• Fitness Attribute Improved:Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
• Target Score:250-350 Total Reps

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus
Finish the hips before pulling with the arms. We want to see this in the hang power sn**ch. Athletes should extend the hips and knees fully before bending the arms to move the bar overhead. A strong finish creates the power needed to move the bar, while an early pull makes the movement slower and more taxing.

FRIDAY

WOD BRIEF - STIMULUS
Plyometics, In addition to priming the body for strength work, these drills are designed to make us capable of moving quickly, improving things such as reaction time, tendon resilience, and explosiveness. This is the eighth week of our 9-week Max Effort strength cycle. This week, we're testing 3-rep maxes. The most common 3-rep max percentage is 90%, and most land between 85% and 95%. After the 3-3-1 reps building into your attempt, take no more than 2 sets to establish your 3RM (4-5 working sets total for the day). This is a short, high-intensity workout where the goal is to move aggressively from the start and maintain output as the reps decrease. The row should be pushed hard while leaving enough in the tank to immediately attack the wall balls. Choose a wall ball weight and target that allows for large sets, ideally completing the 35 reps in 2 sets or less. The row should take approximately 2:00, 1:30, and 1:00 across the three sets. Training Effect This workout improves anaerobic capacity by challenging athletes to produce a high level of output for a short duration while managing fatigue. The row creates a large cardiovascular demand, while the wall balls require athletes to continue producing power through the legs as fatigue builds. Coaching Concept The legs are the biggest source of power in many movements. When athletes use their strongest muscles first, they can produce more force while using less energy. When they rely too much on smaller muscles, fatigue builds faster and movements become less efficient. Movement Prep Wall Ball Catch + Throw. Have athletes perform wall balls with a focus on catching the ball into a full squat, then immediately driving through the legs to send the ball to the target. Focus on using the legs to create power and maintaining a consistent rhythm. Notes If the first set of 35 requires more than two breaks, adjust the variation before starting. Encourage athletes to transition quickly from the row to the wall ball since the workout is short and rewards continuous movement.

MOVEMENTS
• Intended Intensity:RPE 8-9
• Target Loading:Light
• Fitness Attribute Improved:Anaerobic Capacity
• Target Score:6-8 Minutes (M), 7-10 Minutes (W)

ATHLETE FOCUS
Movement Focus
Drive through the legs. We want to see this in the row and wall balls. On the row, athletes should push through the legs first and allow the arms to finish the stroke. On the wall ball, athletes should use the squat to create power and drive the ball to the target rather than relying on the shoulders.
