“Being different isn’t a bad thing. It means you’re brave enough to be yourself.” -LL
Tabata cossack squats immediately into Tabata broad jumps, then
21-15-9-3 reps for time:
HSPU (or pike pushups)
Jumping lunges
We have another sprint! If you don’t have a wall or don’t have HSPU yet, use pike pushups, or the hardest pushup version you have. The jumping lunges will tire your legs quickly (L+R=1), so find a number of reps that you can maintain. The lower numbers should be unbroken for both movements. Keep pushing! This will go quickly.

“No good sittin’ worryin’ abou’ it. What’s comin’ will come, an’ we’ll meet it when it does.” -R
tabata out and overhead squat directly into tabata pushup + 2 shoulder taps, then
AMRAP 10:00
10 Bulgarian split squats, right leg
10 burpees
10 Bulgarian split squats, left leg
10 alt devil’s press (or burpee + thruster)
Similar to “Dobby” last week, this workout may feel much longer than 10 minutes, so make sure you’re warmed up before starting. The key is to not come out of the gate too hot, but also don’t take too much rest.
The Bulgarian squats are unweighted, but you can absolutely challenge yourself and hold a weight while doing them, if you can do a full set unbroken. The transition time between movements is your rest because it takes an extra second to set up and get out of Bulgarian squats.
The devil’s press is alternating between arms and can use a dumbbell or kettlebell. If using a weighted backpack, you can do a burpee into a thruster with the backpack.

“Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do, Potter.” – Professor McGonagall
tabata plank jacks into tabata crunches, then
50-40-30-20-10 reps for time:
Double unders or penguin jumps
Situps
Push press
Despite the volume, this workout is a sprint. It’s an adaptation of Annie, which can take 6-8 minutes, so this effort should take around 12 minutes given you’ve loaded the push press correctly.
It’s a ton of volume, so there’e the #1 reason the push presses should be light. If you have a barbell, use the unloaded barbell. If you’re using a dumbbell or kettlebell, alternate arms as needed. A weighted backpack or bag of flour would work well, too!
