10:00 EMOM
3 Bar Muscle-Ups
The goal of this EMOM is quality mechanics and consistent transitions, not survival. Athletes should have enough rest each minute to reset mentally and physically before the next set. Athletes who are muscling through the turnover rather than using their kip will accumulate fatigue quickly and carry that into "Memento." Keep the volume honest or adjust to alternatives

*Increase Power Clean and Push Jerk reps by 2 each round. Rep scheme across rounds: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and so on.
Score = Rounds + Reps
Barbell: 115/75lb (52/34kg)
Goals: 4+ Rounds
Stimulus: Upper Body Interference / Density
RPE: 8.5/10
Primary Objective: Maintain efficient barbell cycling across all rounds, establishing a smooth, connected rhythm from the floor through the jerk lockout before the rep count climbs.
Secondary Objective: Stay consistent and unbroken on the double unders and toes to bar, using these as the recovery movements between barbell sets rather than the movements that break down your rhythm.
Workout Strategy
"Memento" is a 7:00 sprint where the barbell gets tougher by volume each round, not by load. The toes to bar will be significant enough that they require some strategic breaks for some, but our top athletes should be moving towards unbroken sets and the double unders should be treated as the transition. Move through them with a consistent rhythm, and save the mental focus for the barbell. On the double unders, keep the shoulders relaxed, use small wrist rotations, and breathe. A missed rep here is cheap to recover from; a missed rep on the barbell costs rhythm and grip. The goal is 4 or more rounds, which means athletes need to be moving continuously from the first minute to the last.

The goal of this EMOM is quality mechanics and consistent transitions, not survival. Athletes should have enough rest each minute to reset mentally and physically before the next set. Athletes who are muscling through the turnover rather than using their kip will accumulate fatigue quickly and carry that into "Memento." Keep the volume honest or adjust to alternatives

Score = Rounds + Reps
Barbell: 115/75lb (52/34kg)
Goals: 4+ Rounds
Stimulus: Upper Body Interference / Density
RPE: 8.5/10
Primary Objective: Maintain efficient barbell cycling across all rounds, establishing a smooth, connected rhythm from the floor through the jerk lockout before the rep count climbs.
Secondary Objective: Stay consistent and unbroken on the double unders and toes to bar, using these as the recovery movements between barbell sets rather than the movements that break down your rhythm.
Workout Strategy
"Memento" is a 7:00 sprint where the barbell gets tougher by volume each round, not by load. The toes to bar will be significant enough that they require some strategic breaks for some, but our top athletes should be moving towards unbroken sets and the double unders should be treated as the transition. Move through them with a consistent rhythm, and save the mental focus for the barbell. On the double unders, keep the shoulders relaxed, use small wrist rotations, and breathe. A missed rep here is cheap to recover from; a missed rep on the barbell costs rhythm and grip. The goal is 4 or more rounds, which means athletes need to be moving continuously from the first minute to the last.
Modifications / Adjustments
Toes to Bar: Reduce reps / Hanging Knee Raises / V-Ups / Alt Toes to Bar
Power Clean and Push Jerk: Reduce load before modifying rep increases / Hang Power Clean and Push Press / Dumbbell Power Clean and Push Jerk
Double Unders: 1.5:1 Single Unders / Penguin Jumps / Reduce reps to 35-40 if rhythm consistently breaks

The reduced rep count allows just enough recovery to maintain quality positions and speed out of the hole across all 10 sets. This is not a grinding day; every set should feel deliberate and fast.
Athletes who did not complete the Week 1 test should start around 75% of their estimated one-rep max and either build from there to around 80% or stay at 75% across, depending on how the body feels.

3 Front Squats (working tempo)
3-4 Sets (4 minutes)
3 Front Squats, Building to working weight
Then build to working load across 2-3 additional sets.
Working at 100% of the Week 1 5x5 Front Squat test load. This is 30 total reps at that same challenging weight in the same 15:00 time domain as the original test, but with 3 reps per set rather than 5. The reduced rep count allows just enough recovery to maintain quality positions and speed out of the hole across all 10 sets. This is not a grinding day; every set should feel deliberate and fast.
Athletes who did not complete the Week 1 test should start around 75% of their estimated one-rep max and either build from there to around 80% or stay at 75% across, depending on how the body feels.
Modifications:
Level 1: Every 1:30 x 10 Sets, 3 Front Squats at a consistent, challenging load around 70-75% of 1RM; prioritize depth and position over load.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 1:30 x 10 Sets, 5 Dual Dumbbell Front Squats
2 Sets:
10m Dual Kettlebell Front Rack Walking Lunges
8/6 Push-Ups
10 Air Squats
