WORKOUT BRIEF
DESCRIPTION
Today’s conditioning piece is a mash-up of the benchmark workout “Kelly”
Before and after the 3 rounds of “Kelly” is a buy-in and cash-out on the rower
The workout flows like this:
50/35 Calorie Row
400 Meter Run
30 Wallballs (20/14)
30 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
400 Meter Run
30 Wallballs (20/14)
30 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
400 Meter Run
30 Wallballs (20/14)
30 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
50/35 Calorie Row
Times for this workout will range from 18-30 minutes

WALLBALLS
Choose a weight that you are capable of moving for 50+ unbroken reps when fresh
Men throw to 10 feet
Women throw to 9 feet

BOX JUMPS
These are regular box jumps, so we’re looking to stand to full extension on top of the box
Jump up to the box for “RX”
We recommend stepping down over “rebounding” box jumps
Rebounding is a fairly risky technique for the achilles, especially with high reps on top of running

ROW
If you’re short on rowers, stagger athletes by 4 minutes or SHRED athletes can use another machine

STRATEGY
ROWS
If we had to pick a row to go faster on, it would be the second set of 50/35 calories
The opening row is less important, as it has quite a bit of work to follow it
Come out at a controlled pace that you see yourself being able to improve upon at the end of the workout

ROUNDS OF “KELLY”
Within the rounds of “Kelly” we can treat the box jumps as an extension of the runs
The goal on both of these movements is to maintain steady and continual forward progress
This is a speed that allows you to thrive through the sets of 30 wallballs
With the steady state movements surrounding the wallballs, look to work through larger sets if possible
1 Set: 30
2 Sets: 15-15 or 20-10
3 Sets: 10-10-10 or 15-10-5
4 Sets: 8-8-7-7

Weighted Dip 10-10-10

Athletes may choose rings or matador.
