Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 20 minutes
15 box jumps
12 front rack walking lunge steps
9 push-presses
You’ll need a box and a barbell for this classic AMRAP to start off the week. The front rack lunge and push press are both quite difficult so you may find that you want to use the same weight for each. If one of the two movements is more challenging make sure to scale the weight down for that movement even if it means the other will be a little easier. Make sure to try several reps of each before the workout starts and make sure you can handle the weight you choose under fatigue. Box Jumps are often scaled to step-ups but since we’re doing lunge steps today that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. If you can jump, try decreasing the height and use a shorter box or even a small stack of plates for your jump. If you can’t jump for any reason it is of course totally ok to do step ups in place of the box jumps. Whatever you choose do your best to keep moving at a consistent pace to rack up as many rounds as possible in twenty minutes!
