AM Workout (0600)

Got the last QF workout in this morning and then put together a lower-body/posterior chain session together for the afternoon... overall happy with my effort here, I knew this was likely going to be my best workout of this year's QF, so I was a bit nervous right before we got started ... once the clock started I felt good and focused. I missed one DU throughout the workout, I think on the 3rd set? I can't totally remember. DL unbroken except the 2nd set of 275# went 6/4 with a very short break (1-2 seconds). Big effort, fun stuff. My right achilles heel definitely hurt quite a bit after all these dubs... it has been aggravating me for a week or so when I did a double-under workout last week... glad QF is over and going to lay off my achilles for a bit.

2026 Quarter Finals Workout 2

For Time – 15 Minute Time Cap 

**Complete in any rep scheme** 

80 Dumbbell Hang Squat Cleans (50/35 lbs) 

40 Bar Muscle-Ups 

-11:17 … my strategy going into this was: 

10 bar MU

10 squat cleans 

Then…

10 rounds of: 

3 bar mu 

6 squat cleans 

Then… 

10 squat cleans 

I stuck to this plan and overall it went really well … I was able to get all the sets unbroken up until ending on 16 squat cleans … this went 6/5/5 and my grip was just completely shot by this point. Overall I paced everything decently, almost missing my last bar MU … I did want to finish closer to 10 minutes on this, but I am happy with my effort and performance ... this was just generally a brutal workout. Fun stuff. If I ever do this again, I might just try a straight 10 rounds of 4/8 and see if I can improve my time at all.
