Hard Breach: Conditioning Session Structure: 5 Rounds for total output. Rest: 2 minutes between each round. The Workout 1:00 Sledgehammer Slams 1:00 Skipping (Jump Rope) 0:30 Sledgehammer Slams 0:30 Max Calorie Air Bike 2:00 Rest Goal: Aim for consistent calorie output across all five rounds. Pacing & Strategy Slams: Do not start at maximum intensity. Find a rhythmic, repeatable pace. Focus on using your core and lats to drive the hammer down rather than relying solely on your arms. Skipping: Choose a variation (singles or double-unders) that allows you to maintain continuous movement for the full minute. Air Bike: This is your sprint. Treat the final 30 seconds of every round as an all-out effort. Modifications & Substitutions Sledgehammer & Tire: Substitute with 1:00 of moderate-weight alternating dumbbell hang snatches. Skipping: Substitute with plate hops or a steady-paced Ski Erg. Max Calorie Air Bike: Substitute with a 30-second all-out running sprint or max distance on the Ski Erg. Coaching Notes Efficiency: Because this is a 5-round, high-intensity workout, the "Hard Breach" title is fitting—it should feel like a controlled explosion of energy. Consistency: The goal is to avoid "crashing" by round 3. Use the first minute of slams to breathe and the 30-second sprint to push your heart rate into the red zone. Post your cals per round in the discord!

Mayday — AMRAP 14 As Many Rounds As Possible in 14 Minutes 200m Run (or 15 Calorie Row/Bike) 15 Kettlebell Swings (53/35 lbs) 10 Box Jump Overs (24/20") 5 Devil Press (35/25 lbs DBs) Coach’s Notes This is a longer-duration sprint. The goal is to keep the intensity "rolling" by managing your transitions. Since this is an AMRAP, do not treat the first 5 minutes as a warm-up—get moving, stay moving, and hold a pace you can maintain for the full 14 minutes. Strategy: Use the run/machine to find your breath, but keep the transition to the kettlebell as short as possible. Movement Standards: On the Devil Press, focus on a controlled descent and a powerful, explosive lockout. Scaling Guidelines Kettlebell Swings: Reduce weight to a level where you can keep the movement explosive. Box Jump Overs: Switch to Step-Overs to lower the heart rate and improve sustainability. Devil Press: Reduce dumbbell weight; ensure you are not compromising spinal alignment to get the weights off the floor. Post your total rounds and any scaling notes in the group Discord!
