Lazar Đukić changes structure between three stages. DG is a short AMRAP, Jordan consists of four large blocks, and Dee repeats a bodyweight-and-running circuit. Choose a structure you can follow accurately rather than treating the month as a fixed programme.

This is an editorial selection of training ideas, not a calendar of sessions to complete together. Leave recovery between demanding workouts and choose a suitable version for your experience and equipment.

    Prepare, scale and record

    Read the complete workout and its special rules before starting. Warm up progressively, rehearse unfamiliar movements and arrange your equipment. Choose loads, repetitions and movement variations before the timer starts.

    For a timed workout, record elapsed time; for an AMRAP, record rounds plus additional repetitions. Keep any prescribed rest and note time caps, loads and substitutions. Follow the individual workout page for formats with different scoring rules.
