9 DB JERKS
9 DB SQUATS
9 BURPEES OVER THE DB
....
CONTINUE WITH
8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...
For the power cleans only one head of the dumbbell needs to touch the ground for each rep. Make sure there is a bend in the knee with the heels down and chest up. Think stand fast - shrug- and pull slightly under catching the dumbbells on the shoulder. Stand up to finish the rep. Keep the back flat as you bring the dumbbells back down.
On the jerks the dumbbells will start on the shoulders. Feet under hips. You will dip keeping the heels down, stomach tight and chest up. Stand hard and fast to pop dumbbells off of the shoulders then finish by pressing the weight up and yourself down slightly. Stand to finish each rep with the weight still overhead.
For the squats the dumbbells can be rested on the shoulders however you would like!
Reach the butt back and down. Focus on keeping the heels down, drive the knees out and keep the chest up. No collapsing! The goal is to get the butt below the knees. Keep the chest up - knees out and heels down as you stand!
The DB facing burpee is just that. Jump or step back. Get the chest and thighs on the ground at the bottom. Jump or step in. Jump over the bar FACING the DB - not lateral!
15 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 15 Min)
15 Weighted Sit Ups
30 Goblet Lunges
Only need a single Dumbbell for this one!
Goal: 5 Rounds or More
Ok so you have some options on this one. The idea is to do the sit ups and lunges with the same dumbbell. If that is not happening - no worries. Use a lighter weight.
You also have the option of either holding the dumbbell with both hands at the chest or over your head. These aren't single arm overhead lunges though. Hold the dumbbell with both hands.
For the weighted sit up you will have the dumbbell (or other object) in both hands. You will lie back and reach the dumbbell back behind your head and touch the ground with pretty straight arms. Then you will throw the arms forward and sit up (the weight of the dumbbell should actually create some momentum forward). Finish with the dumbbell over your head with the biceps by the ears.
For the lunges you will either hold the dumbbell at the chest in the goblet position or with both hands on the dumbbell overhead. You may perform forward, reverse, or even walking lunges. Alternate feet with each step. Each lunge counts as 1 rep. SO in a set of 30 you end up doing 15 per leg.
Either way, make sure the lunge steps are long enough that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the knee to cave in.
4 Rounds
Each Round is to Be Performed as Fast as Possible
20 Weighted Step Ups
20 Devil Press
Rest 2 Min Between Rounds
This one hurt (SUCKED) lol. Good luck.
Go faster. Not heavier. If the first round takes you longer than 4:30. Go lighter. If you don't have the option to go lighter because you only have one set of dumbbells - cut the reps to 16-16.
Each step up counts as one rep so you will do 10 per side but alternating. You will hold the dumbbells in your hands - down at your sides and step up onto a box that is between 18-24 inches. Make sure for each rep you drive off of the heel and don't allow your knee to come in. Stand all of the way up on the box then come down and switch feet.
A devil press is BASICALLY a burpee with dumbbells in your hands. You do a push up with hands on the dumbbells, jump or step the feet in. Pick the dumbbells up from between the feet with heels down and arms straight (keep the back flat!!). Use the power from the legs and the hips to basically complete a combination KB Swing - clean and jerk - snatch.
The movement finishes with the elbows locked and biceps by the ears! Control the lower and keep the back flat as you set up for the next rep!
WEEK 18 WORKOUTS
Back to the BKI Elite Vault this week. Enjoy everyone!!
20 Minute AMRAP (as man rounds as possible)
Run 200m
10- Push Ups
15- Air Squats
20- Sit Ups
First thing…its very easy not to get too tired during this workout. If you just jog the 200m run. Break up the reps on all the movements in 5’s or 10’s. Sip some water between rounds and not push yourself during the twenty minutes. Yeah, you’d hit about 6-7 rounds. I DON’T WANT THAT!! Try to hit 10+ rounds. Sprint your tail off during the run and hit those body weight movements with little to no rest. Push yourself in this one. You’ll thank me later.
A 200m run should be a distance that takes you roughly 1 min - 1:20 depending on your running ability. If you don't have a way to measure, just use the time that was given as a measurement. If you have no place to run, you can do taps or jump rope for the same amount of time.
A push up done laying with face, palms and toes facing down, keeping legs and back straight, extending arms straight to push body up and back down again. You can modify by placing your knees on the floor, in replace of your toes and perform the exercise the same way. If that’s still a bit too difficult, you can perform a wall push up. Face a wall, standing a little farther than arm's length away, feet shoulder-width apart. Lean your body forward and put your palms flat against the wall at shoulder height and shoulder-width apart. Slowly place your chest on the wall and push up to the starting position.
On your air squat, squat down until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Your arms will still be out in front of you. Keep your chin up and eyes straight. Push your knees to the side to keep your hips open. Toes should always be facing forward.
20-15-10
-Thrusters
-Burpees
—Rest 2 Minutes —
15-10-5
-Thrusters
-Burpees
So I started this workout knowing very well I wasn’t going to break up the burpees. They weren’t extremely fast but I never stopped once I started the set. Now the thrusters I broke up in 10’s. I put the weights down, counted to three and picked them back up. So it wasn’t to long of a rest. The set after the 2 minute rest, I went straight through. The workouts fast and hurts after a few reps. Suck it up. Bite down and grind!! Enjoy this one.
For your thruster. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold your dumbbells in front of your shoulders. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Stand up and extend your arms over your head. Bend your arms, return to the starting position and repeat the exercise.
For the burpee, begin in a standing position. Move into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back into a plank position, while keeping your arms extended. Place your chest on the ground and perform a basic push up. Immediately return your feet into squat position. Stand up from the squat position and perform a small hop.
Run 400m
100 - Goblet Squats
100 - Push Ups
Run 400m
100 - Sit Ups
50 - Burpees
If this workout seems like it’s going to be long...you’re correct. Aim for a 20 minute goal. Start off with a faster then normal 400m jog. It’ll get your legs ready for the 100 goblet squats that are waiting for you. On the squats make sure to break them up soon and NOT later. Don’t try to bust out a big set in the beginning cause you’ll find yourself trailing off towards the end. Sets of 15’s with 5-7 seconds rest in between would work perfect.
The push ups are the one section that you can really catch yourself cheating on and not on purpose. Don’t cut yourself short and start doing half push ups. The key thing here is consistency! Sets of 5-10 will get you there easier and the 5-10 second rest in between sets will help out tremendously. Cause remember....those burpees are coming.
Run the next 400m nice and easy and start right on those sit ups AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK!! Don’t wait. Depending where you’re at on your abs. Break up these sets by 10’s or 25’s.
So....burpees suck. Duh. There’s no way around them. Just do the damn work. I’ll change direction every 5 reps. Face north, 5 reps. Turn east, busy out five. Turn south, another five. I’ll hit 25reps. Rest about 20-25 seconds then do it again. I did the last 15 straight cause...there’s no point on making it hurt longer. Have fun with this one.
For the run - it should be a distance that takes you roughly 1:45 - 2:30 depending on your running ability. If you don't have a way to measure, just use the time that was given as a measurement. If you have no place for the run, you can do taps or jump rope for the same amount of time.
For your Goblet Squats. Keep weight close to your chest and elbows tight on your ribs. Feet are underneath the shoulders and heels are down. Before starting the squat - lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom while fighting to keep the chest and elbows up. No plopping or rounding of the upper or lower back. If you are unable to keep good positions, lower the weight. Stand completely at the top of each rep.
A push up done laying with face, palms and toes facing down, keeping legs and back straight, extending arms straight to push body up and back down again. You can modify by placing your knees on the floor, in replace of your toes and perform the exercise the same way. If that’s still a bit to difficult, you can perform a wall push up. Face a wall, standing a little farther than arm's length away, feet shoulder-width apart. Lean your body forward and put your palms flat against the wall at shoulder height and shoulder-width apart. Slowly place your chest on the wall and push up to the starting position.
For the burpee, begin in a standing position. Move into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back into a plank position, while keeping your arms extended. Place your chest on the ground and perform a basic push up. Immediately return your feet into squat position. Stand up from the squat position and perform a small hop.
5-10-15 reps
-90 Second Rest-
15-10-5 reps
-Touch and Go (Block / Quick Reverse)
-Fake Kick / D-Side
-Side Kick / Hook Kick / Quick Reverse
So I wanted to program a quick karate workout that I can go in and out of the dojo in 20 minutes. Well I was wrong. This workout looks simple and fast but it took me and my blackbelts by surprise. Go hard on the reps and don’t just cruse though the techniques. Circle around the bag and throw a lot of fakes. Try not to ever just stand (bounce) still. Be busy and keep your hands up. Enjoy this one.
Part 1
30-20-10
-Thrusters
15- Right Triple Side Kicks
15- Left Triple Side Kicks
Part 2
30-20-10
-Lunges (counting every other rep)
15- Right Hook / Round
15- Left Hook / Round
So this workout has two different parts to it. You can not start part 2 until you have finished with every rep of part 1. On part 1 you will perform 30 Thrusters. Try to break them up in 15-15’s or even 20-10’s. The first set should be the only set that is broken up. Try to do the sets of 20’s and 10’s unbroken. Will it hurt? DUH!! But thats why you’re here. As soon as you’re done with the thrusters you’ll throw 15 triple side kicks with each leg. You will always perform 15 reps on the kicking combinations. The Thrusters/Lunges will be the only excuses going down on reps.
On the lunges, make sure to tap your knee on the floor on every rep and only count every other Lunge. The weight on the walking lunges should stay close to your chest. With your elbows tight on your ribs. Have Fun!!
WEEK 17 WORKOUTS
16 Min AMRAP
(As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 16 Min)
Run 200 Meters
16 Box Jumps
16 Alternating Hang Dumbbell Snatch
Set yourself up for roughly 3 minute rounds on this one. Lots of explosive hip action so make sure you have a good set up for each jump and keep your stomach tight on the hang power snatches!
For the 200m run, you're working with a minute or less. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window.
For the single DB Hang Power Snatches you will bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and stomach tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep! Lower back to the waist and switch hands. You will alternate hands with each rep for these so you end up doing 8 per arm per round.
30 Dumbbell Hang Squat Cleans
30 Burpees
30 Dumbbell Thrusters
30 Burpees
30 Dumbbell Squats
30 Burpees
For the hang squat clean you will deadlift the DBs to the hips with hands just outside the legs. Your feet are between hip and shoulder width, heels down. Stand tall. Tighten the stomach. Arms straight. Reach the hips back slightly and bend the knees to dip. Keep the DBs back and arms straight. Stand up hard and fast! Shrug the shoulders. Pull the DBs up the body with the elbows high and back and pull YOURSELF DOWN at the same time. You will rotate the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat.
In this squat position heels are down, knees out, chest up, stomach tight, butt lower than knees, no plopping or rounding, elbows high! Drive through the heels and drive knees out to stand. Lead with chest and elbows, stand fully to complete each rep. For the next rep you will lower the DBs back to the hips.
For the thrusters the DBs will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the DBs on the shoulders and elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the DBs off of the body. Press the DBs straight up. Keep stomach tight and finish locked out overhead - biceps by the ears.
Same thing with the squats, stomach tight, back flat, chest up, knees out.
10 Min AMRAP
(As Many Round and Reps as Possible in 10 Min)
20 Alternating Hang Dumbbell Snatch
12 Weighted Sit Ups
Goal: 6-7 Rounds +
This one is going to go quick. Start at a pace that you can maintain the whole way. Choose a load you can go unbroken for at least the first few rounds. Ideally you can complete the reps in at most 2 sets the whole way.
For the single DB Hang Power Snatches you will bring the dumbbell to the waist. You will hinge forward slightly while keeping the chest up and stomach tight. Keep the heels down and knees out - arm straight. Stand up hard and fast - shrug the shoulder - punch the working elbow out to the side to keep the dumbbell close to the body as it travels UP! From here you will either punch to lockout or punch to lockout WHILE punching yourself UNDER slightly. Get the bicep by the ear and stand completely with it still there to complete the rep!
Lower back to the waist and switch hands. You will alternate hands with each rep for these so you end up doing 10 per arm per round.
You can do anything you want with your feet in the sit ups. What I’m looking for is the weight touching the ground over your head at the bottom and either bringing it to your chest as you sit up or pressing up over your head at the top. Of course - lower the weight if necessary to keep moving.
4 Rounds
2 min stations / :30 rest In between stations
-Jump Rope
-Bag
-Sit Ups
-Bag
-Push Ups
On the push ups and sit ups, make sure you give yourself a high mark to hit. Try to hit the same mark, give or take a few reps, every time you’re on that station. The goal of this workout is to have a set plan for every station. Rotate the bag with only kicks, only hand and a combination of the two. Also mix and match your point sparring and continuous sparring drills.
WEEK 16 WORKOUTS
Every 5 Min for 4 Rounds:
Run 400 Meters
12 Burpees
24 Thrusters
The workout is 20 minutes burner. Start every round on the 5 minute mark. Any time that is left after all repetitions are done will be considered rest.
For the run the 400m run it should be a distance that takes you roughtly 1:45 - 2:30 depending on your running ability. If you don't have a way to measure, just use the time that was given as a measurement. If you have no place for the run, you can do taps or jump rope for the same amount of time.
On the thrusters, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold your dumbbells in front of your shoulders. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Stand up and extend your arms over your head. Bend your arms, return to the starting position and repeat the exercise.
7 Rounds
7 Devil Lunges
14 Box Jump Overs
You'll want to keep it within the 12-20 minute range here. Not faster or slower. It's a lot of reps so choose a pace, load and a box height that you are able to keep moving without having to stop and stand around while you catch your breath.
For the devil lunges, start standing with the dumbbells on the ground about shoulder width apart. Place your hands on the dumbbells. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in and stand up with the dumbbells so they are by your sides.
Then, do a reverse lunge on each leg. Make sure you take a long enough step back so that the heel of your front foot is down when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all of the way up between reps and alternate legs with each lunge.
So 1 rep = DB burpee + lunge right leg + lunge left leg.
30 Dumbbell Squats
Run 400 Meters
Rest 2 Min Between Rounds
I want to test your stamina on this one. So choose a load on the squats you can get through all 30 reps in 60-90 seconds with a good fight then go ALL OUT on the run. How hard can you go after 30 squats??
For these squats hold the DBs at the shoulder. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the stomach. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Stand all the way up at the top.

WEEK 13 WORKOUTS
Back to the BKI Elite Vault with this week. Enjoy these guys!!
Part 1

1- Thruster
1- Box Jump
2- Thruster

Part 2
5 minute AMRAP
2- sit ups
2- leg lifts
4- sit up
4- leg lifts
.
.
.
20- sit ups
20- leg lifts
Alright. First off, find a really smooth pace on your thrusters. Don’t forget to really push with your legs especially the last quarter of the way up. Please don’t pause and try to rest with the weights above your head. I’ve done that before and it’s so silly. Hold the weight in the rack position (on your shoulders) or just put the weights on the ground. Give yourself a REP goal at the beginning of the workout and make sure it’s somewhat of a high REP goal. Don’t low ball yourself cause then you’re watching the clock every 30 seconds and that sucks.
Perform 1 thruster then right into 1 box jump. Then 2 and 2. 3 and 3. And so on and so forth for 10 minutes. Give yourself a mark to hit, don’t look at the clock until it’s done.....and KILL IT!!
On the Thruster: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold your dumbbells in front of your shoulders. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Stand up and extend your arms over your head. Bend your arms, return to the starting position and repeat the exercise.
On the Box Jump: Stand in front of the box, with your feet shoulder-width apart. When you're ready to jump, drop quickly into a quarter squat, then extend your hips, swing your arms, and push your feet through the floor to propel yourself onto the box. Make sure that both feet land on top of the box. Fully extended your hips at the top and step down one leg at a time to reset to your starting position.
21-18-15-9-6-3
-KB Swings
-Burpees
-Sit-Ups
So you will start off by performing 21 KB Swings. Right into 21 burpees and then 21 sit-ups. You will then go right into 18 reps of all movements and so on and so forth. Don’t take too long to start breaking up the reps on the movements. I like to pick one movement that I don’t want to break on and try to stay consistent throughout the workout. On this one it was the burpees for me. I sure didn’t go SUPER fast on the burpees but i never stopped on them. Also, be consistent on your rest on this one. You can easily start with a 5-7 second rest on a movement but then you find yourself sucking wind for longer then a minute down the line. So stay consistent!!
For the KB swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
On the burpees, begin in a standing position. Move into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back into a plank position, while keeping your arms extended. Place your chest on the ground and perform a basic push up. Immediately return your feet into squat position. Stand up from the squat position and perform a small hop.
On the Sit-Up, simply lay down on the floor with arms over head, legs bent and knees turned out. Contract abs, sit up and bring arms over to touch your feet.
4-Rounds
5 minute time cap on every round.
-400m Run
-10 Pull-Ups
Or
-15 Back Rows
-25 Goblet Squats
So on this one, you’re trying to go as fast as possible to give yourself more rest at the end. Each round will have a 5 minute time cap, meaning if you finish the round at the 4 minute mark. You will have 1 min. rest. If you don’t end up finishing before the time cap. Stop where you’re at and start on the next round. Get back on the run.
No way around it, the run is going to get hard. Sorry. 🤷🏽♂️. Stay consistent but go a tad faster then you would regularly run a 400m. If you can do pull ups, 10 reps shouldn’t be a huge problem. If you can only squeeze out 3-5 pull ups. Then do that and sub in 5-10 back rows. Just don’t cut yourself short. It’s okay to GET TIRED!! Thats the point.
For the run - it should be a distance that takes you roughly 1:45 - 2:30 depending on your running ability. If you don't have a way to measure, just use the time that was given as a measurement. If you have no place for the run, you can do taps or jump rope for the same amount of time.
For the pull ups you may do strict, kipping, banded, ring row, or even a bent over row with dumbbells or a barbell.
On the row bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward, by bending at the waist, while keeping the back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor. Make sure that you keep the head up. The Kettle Bell or Dumbbells should hang directly in front of you as your arms hang perpendicular to the floor and your torso. This is your starting position. Now, while keeping the torso stationary, breathe out and lift the KB/DB to you. Keep the elbows close to the body. At the top contracted position, squeeze the back muscles and hold for a brief pause.
For your Goblet Squats. Keep weight close to your chest and elbows tight on your ribs. Feet are underneath the shoulders and heels are down. Before starting the squat - lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom while fighting to keep the chest and elbows up. No plopping or rounding of the upper or lower back. If you are unable to keep good positions, lower the weight. Stand completely at the top of each rep
5- Rounds
2 Min- Bag Work (only hands)
1 Min- Max Burpees (hit a high mark every round and be consistent)
Simple workout and I LOVED IT!! Since you’re doing 5 rounds of only punches on the bag. I ended up switching from point sparring techniques to kickboxing techniques.
On the burpees I ended up doing 25 burpees every minute. Knowing I had 1 minute rest after the burpees made me push harder on them. AND STAND ALL THE WAY UP!! No cheating.
Burpee: Begin in a standing position. Move into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back into a plank position, while keeping your arms extended. Place your chest on the ground and perform a basic push up. Immediately return your feet into squat position. Stand up from the squat position and perform a small hop.
4- Rounds
- 2 minutes each station -
-Jump Rope
-Bag (Kicks Only)
-KB Swings
-Bag (Hands Only)
If you don’t know how to jump rope.....well you have 8 minutes to learn. Learning how to jump rope is a huge part of all athletes life. DO IT! If you already know how. Great. If you want to switch from point to kickboxing hand and kick techniques, you can. If you want to stick to one style only. That’s cool too.
I ended up doing 40 KB Swings on the first 3 rounds. I would do 20 reps. Put the KB down. Shake the arms a bit and then do 10 and 10. On the last round I did 50. Cause you know. Why not. Remember!! Form over everything. Do what you can. Push yourself, yes! But always with form and technique.

WEEK 10 WORKOUTS
10 Strict Press
Run 200 Meters
20 Strict Press
Run 400 Meters
30 Strict Press
Run 800 Meters
Goal: Under 12 Min
Super simple and to the point today, but not easy!
For the strict shoulders presses, choose a load that will challenge you, like you will definitely have to break the set of 20 and 30 into multiple sets. Remember these are strict presses, so be mindful not to start using your hips to generate power!
Set up for the shoulder press with the DBs on the shoulders with elbows high. Keep the rib cage down and stomach tight. Press straight up until your elbows are locked out with biceps by the ears. Bring the dumbbells all the way down to the shoulders each time.
For the run, you're shooting for about 1 minute for the first round, 2 minutes for the 400m and 4-4:30 for the 800m. For this one, if you want to go the distance even if it takes you beyond that time window, we say go for it!
If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - do 2 min double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target between each round and at the beginning of the workout before the 10 presses, AND at the end!
5 Rounds
30 Dumbbell Hop Overs
20 Unweighted Alternating Lunges
15 Dumbbell Deadlifts
Goal: Under 12 Min
These rounds are likely to go pretty fast. So today might be a good day to try out a heavier Deadlift.
For the hop over, stand next to one dumbbell and hop laterally over the narrow side, then hop back. Each hop is one rep.
Ideally this is 2 feet hopping and landing together, but if you need to do a little shuffle instead for your knees, go for it.
You may perform forward stepping, reverse stepping, or even walking lunges. Make sure you take a long enough step forward with the front leg or backward with the rear leg so that your heel can be down on the front foot when the back knee GENTLY touches the ground. Stand all the way up between reps, bring feet in line with each other and alternate legs with each lunge. So for each set of 20 you end up doing 10 on each side.
For the deadlifts the DBs will start on the ground. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Hands and grip are outside of the legs. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Stomach tight. Back flat! To lift the DBs drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest. Keep arms straight, chest up and stomach tight as you stand all the way up at the top.
To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and stomach tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DBs go below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DBs back to the starting position under control. Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch at the bottom!
EMOM 16 Min
(Every Minute on the Minute for 16 Min)
4 Double Dumbbell Snatch
4 Burpees
4 Thrusters
Goal: Choose a weight that will allow you to get all 16 min - but it's not going to be fun.
Oooooh this one is going to take you to a special place! I want to see you get all 12 reps in about 40-50 seconds each time so first consider using lighter dumbbells. If that is really not happening you might lower the reps or go to a single dumbbell snatch as a last resort.
The double dumbbell snatch is just that. You will have a dumbbell in each hand between the feet. Keep the chest up and weight in the heels. Bend the knees slightly and hinge at the hips. Arms are long and straight. Stand with the dumbbells by driving the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Keep the back flat. Once past the knees you will almost jump. Shrug the shoulders and allow the momentum to bring the dumbbells up as you guide them in a partial swing, but not allowing them to get too far away in motion. Finish with a press to lockout with the biceps by the ears and the stomach tight.
When lowering the dumbbells DO NOT GET SLOPPY! Keep the heels down and keep the back flat. Lower under control back to the ground.
Only one head of each dumbbell must touch the ground at the bottom of every rep.
Burpees start standing. Place your hands on the ground. Jump or step your feet back. Get your chest and thighs to the ground. Press to lockout (top of push up). Jump or step the feet in. Jump up and clap with arms overhead!
For the thrusters the DBs will be on the shoulders with the elbows high. Feet under shoulders, heels down. You will reach the butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat with the DBs on the shoulders and elbows high. Stand hard and fast to pop the DBs off of the body. Press the DBs straight up. Keep stomach tight and finish locked out overhead - biceps by the ears.
WEEK 9 WORKOUTS
B.K.I. Training Vault Week!! Taking it back to the first week. Let's see how much we’ve improved. Have Fun!!
5- rounds
Run 200m
10- Goblet Squats
8- Burpees
This is not a long run so try to keep a faster pace if you can. If a faster pace is out of the question, just maintain a pace you can hold for all 5 rounds. If space or weather is affecting you to run. Substitute with 100 single jump ropes or a minute of taps.
For your Goblet Squats. Keep weight close to your chest and elbows tight on your ribs. Feet are underneath the shoulders and heels are down. Before starting the squat - lift the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down as you drive the knees out. Get your butt below your knees at the bottom while fighting to keep the chest and elbows up. No plopping or rounding of the upper or lower back. If you are unable to keep good positions, lower the weight. Stand completely at the top of each rep.
For the Burpees, begin in a standing position. Move into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back into a plank position, while keeping your arms extended. Place your chest on the ground and perform a basic push up. Immediately return your feet into squat position. Stand up from the squat position and perform a small hop.
Remember that every movement can be modified to suit your current fitness state. Just be truthful with yourself! Don’t make it to easy. If you’re very active, this workout should take less then 10 minutes. NOW GO TRAIN!
10- Rounds
8- Kettle Bell Swings
10- Box Jumps
It’s always the simple ones that get you. Like I always say, try to maintain a good pace on this one. If you’re just starting out on your fitness journey. Just stay consistent on your reps and rest. Try not to start resting more then your working. If you’re pretty active, try to finish each round at around the 90 second mark.
For the KB swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
For the Box Jump, stand in front of the box, with your feet shoulder-width apart. When you're ready to jump, drop quickly into a quarter squat, then extend your hips, swing your arms, and push your feet through the floor to propel yourself onto the box. Make sure that both feet land on top of the box. Fully extended your hips at the top and step down one leg at a time to reset to your starting position. You can always sub in a step up for this one.
30- Hang Clean & Jerks
30- Alternate Lunges
20- Hang Clean & Jerks
20- Alternate Lunges
10- Hang Clean & Jerks
10- Alternate Lunges
So start breaking up the reps a little earlier then you think. This one is going to affect the legs a lot sooner then later. So don’t be afraid to break up the first set into 15’s or 10’s. On the second set just go!! If you’re pretty active you can push through all 20’s and 10’s. For all my active competitors. This workout is a great representation on how you feel after you’ve fought 4-5 time hard in a row. So bite down and GO!
For the hang clean and jerk : HANG means that you start at the waist instead of the ground. You either pick up a dumbbell in each hand or you can use only one Kettle Bell. You will stand up. From here you will dip slightly by bending the knees and reaching the butt back and chest slightly forward. Keep the arms straight. Stand up fast and squeeze the cheeks. Shrug the shoulders and then use the momentum to guide the dumbbells up with the arms. Touch the shoulders with the dumbbells and get the elbows in front. With a KB you will do the same, but just rotate the hands around the handle to get it at a supported position at your chest. From here slightly bend your knees, dip and drive the thrust through your heels and push the dumbbells straight up. Your biceps should be next to your ears at the end of your rep. Lower weight back to your shoulders then to your hips and repeat.
For the lunges, hold the DB’s on your shoulders with your elbows high in front of you. Or KB in front o your chest with your elbows tight on your ribs. Stand with feet hip-width apart and take a big step backward. Bend your front knee to lower body and your back knee should lightly tap the floor. All while keeping your upper body upright. Drive front heel into floor to return to starting position. Repeat on the other side.
16 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)
100- Jump Rope
5- Push Fake / Quick Reverse
5- Body Fake / Blitz
5- Double Drag / Hook Kick
This workout can be very easy if you drag your behind on it. So DON’T drag your behind!!! Really push yourself on this one. Try not to mess up on the jump rope, sell every fake on your combinations. Remember you’ll fight the way you train so train the way you want to fight. If you can have someone hold pads or even hit a bag during this workout. That would be fantastic.
So start the timer and for 16 minutes straight, no rest, complete as many rounds as possible. For the jump rope all rotations will be single reps.
Try not to stay in the same position during your combinations. Move around and stay active. Move both feet forward on the push fake. Pause for a brief moment and push off your back leg for the reverse punch.
The body fake has three steps to it. Make sure your back leg stays planted on the ground on the first two steps. Keep a high “wall up” guard when you reset from your second step and then push off both legs when you attack with the blitz. The blitz will be a back fist / reverse punch combination. The back fist hits the side of head and the reverse punch hits the ribs.
On the double drag / Hook Kick, you will do just that. Make sure to chamber your knee high while simultaneously dragging your back leg twice. On the second drag, extend your kick and hit the side of the head. There’s no need to throw a punch on this combination since we’re only focusing on your kick.
21 minute EMOM (every minute on the minute)
1st min - All 4 Fakes
2nd min- Quick Reverse / Blitz
3rd min- Side Kick / Hook Kick / Reverse & Round House / Back Fist
So this ones long and destroys the calf muscles pretty good. Stay focused and remember it’s a marathon with this one not a sprint. Try to throw quality techniques so don’t worry if you only get off 7-10 reps per minute. Stay moving and stay active. Meaning don’t stand or bounce still in one spot and constantly be throwing your fakes.
On the first minute mix your 4 fakes we focus on this program. Body fake, push fake, wall up fake and kick fake. Make sure to circle the pad or bag and always keep your hands up.
As soon as the second minute hits. Start throwing your reverse punch (body punch) and your blitz (back fist and reverse punch). Stay moving around your target and remember quality over quantity. Keep your hands up and hit hard with every punch.
On the third minute you will be focusing on your kick/hand combinations. Cycle through your Side Kick / Hook Kick / Reverse Punch and Round Kick / Back Fist combos. On the side/hook/reverse, you’ll be throwing two kicks so that requires two drags on your grounded foot. Fighters will sometimes stay stuck on the first drag and never get a chance to finish with there body punch. At the end of your Hook Kick make sure to drop fast and hit the ribs with the body punch.
The Round Kick / Back Fist is what we call a “touch and go”. The round kick is thrown as more of a decoy technique. As soon as your opponent blocks your decoy stomach round kick, drop your kicking leg fast and follow with a back fist to the side of your opponents head. Remember to cover your ribs with your opposite hand.
21 minutes straight on a bag is WORK!! Remember why you’re doing this. Train hard now and enjoy the fruits of your labor afterwards. NOW GO TRAIN HARD!
