Tuesday 05/12/26 Box Jumps & Bench Press

3 SESSIONS TODAY:

8:30 AM

4:15 PM

5:30 PM

5 rounds for time of:

15 box jumps

15 bench presses

♀ 95-lb barbell and a 24-inch box

♂ 135-lb barbell and a 30-inch box

Stimulus and Strategy:

Today, we have a spicy, fast-paced couplet. It might look easy on paper, but expect this combination to be challenging. Maintain a fast but sustainable pace on the box jumps OR step-ups to allow a bit of recovery for the next set of bench presses. Plan to complete the bench presses in 1-2 sets for the first 2 rounds and no more than 3 sets for the remaining rounds. Scale load as needed to make this happen. Aim to complete each round in 3 minutes or less.
