Every movement, in order
Each lift with its working sets and target, in the order you run them. The coach sets the loads from your training and moves them up as the work gets easier.
| Order | Exercise | Sets | Target | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Pullups Higher-volume pull-up day. Drop reps if needed but don't drop sets. 5 × 5 · rest 1:15 | 5 | 5 | 1:15 |
| 02 | Parallel Bar Dip Higher-volume dip day. Same logic as pull-ups. 5 × 6 · rest 1:15 | 5 | 6 | 1:15 |
| 03 | Pushups Density push-up volume — RPE 9 final set. 3 × 15 · rest 1 min | 3 | 15 | 1 min |
| 04 | Burpee Conditioning. 4 rounds × 10 EMOM. 4 × 10 · rest 1 min | 4 | 10 | 1 min |
| 05 | Bird Dog Anti-rotation core close. 2 × 10 · rest 45s | 2 | 10 | 45s |
The coach sets the loads and moves them up — these are the schemes
When to reach for this template
Skill work leads, conditioning closes — keep that order so pull-ups and dips get your freshest strength. Add a weight belt or hold a dumbbell once bodyweight reps feel easy at the listed RPE; otherwise progress reps before load. Burpees and push-ups run EMOM density — hold quality and let the clock dictate rest. If form breaks, drop reps but keep the sets. Sub ring dips for parallel-bar dips and band-assisted pull-ups if full reps aren't there yet. Bird dog stays slow and anti-rotational.
Every workout
