General Prep
2:00 Cardio Choice
2 x
5 Bootstrap Squats + Deep Squat Thoracic Rotations
5/5 Single Dumbbell Suitcase Reverse Lunge (contralateral)
5 Up Downs (no push-up / no jump burpees)
10 Alternating Scorpions
10/10 Dynamic Clam Shell
Specific Prep
From the Rack
:15 Behind the Neck Elbow Punch Throughs
10 Good Mornings
5 Front Squats (Empty Barbell)
-
5 Front Squats, light
3 Front Squats, moderate
3 Front Squats, moderate / heavy
Then put working weights on the bar
Athletes who did not complete that test should start at approximately 75% of their estimated 1RM and build across the five sets accordingly. The max rep set at 110% should land in the 3-5 rep range. If an athlete fails before reaching 3 reps, they likely started from an inflated base number.
Modifications:
Level 1: Working at loads that feel moderate and approachable, prioritize positional quality over adding weight, goblet squat or dual dumbbell front squat as a substitution if the barbell front rack is not yet established.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dual dumbbell front squat, Every 2:30 x 5 Sets following the same rep scheme, select the heaviest load available and adjust by set.
At working loads and pace:
4 Dual Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunges
3-4 Lateral Burpees Over the Dumbbells
Use this to confirm dumbbell load and lunge standard before "Rhino" begins.
For Time:
27-21-15-9-9
Dual Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunges
Lateral Burpees Over Dumbbells
Dumbbells: 2 x 50/35lb (22.5/16kg)
Score = Time
Goals: 10:00-14:00
Time Cap: 15:00
Stimulus: Leg Stamina
RPE: 9/10
Primary Objective: Maintain unbroken sets of 10 or more lunges throughout, especially in the larger rounds, staying tall in the front rack and taking full steps without breaking early under fatigue.
Secondary Objective: Find a locked-in, consistent cadence on the lateral burpees and hold it from the first round to the last, staying low and close to the dumbbells on every rep.

Then add weight to the bar
Starting at 90% of the 5x5 Sumo Deadlift Test from two weeks ago and increasing load each set, with the goal of reaching 110-115% of that test load by the final 3-rep set. The priority throughout is maintaining quality positions and posture at every load. Stay tight through the lats, break the bar off the floor with control, and drive the floor away by pushing through the hips and glutes. Every rep should look the same whether it is set one or set five.
Modifications:
Level 1: Reduce starting load to 80% of the 5x5 test and focus on positional quality over load; if no test exists, work to a moderate load that allows for a strong, consistent position across all five sets.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell sumo deadlift, 5-5-4-4-3 wave loading with the heaviest dumbbells available, prioritize hip hinge mechanics and controlled tempo.

2-3 Sumo Deadlifts @ 5-10% under starting loads
-
Then add weight to the bar
Starting at 90% of the 5x5 Sumo Deadlift Test from two weeks ago and increasing load each set, with the goal of reaching 110-115% of that test load by the final 3-rep set. The priority throughout is maintaining quality positions and posture at every load. Stay tight through the lats, break the bar off the floor with control, and drive the floor away by pushing through the hips and glutes. Every rep should look the same whether it is set one or set five.
Modifications:
Level 1: Reduce starting load to 80% of the 5x5 test and focus on positional quality over load; if no test exists, work to a moderate load that allows for a strong, consistent position across all five sets.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell sumo deadlift, 5-5-4-4-3 wave loading with the heaviest dumbbells available, prioritize hip hinge mechanics and controlled tempo.
