Athlete Training Notes:
Another nasty AMRAP is coming up today. The goal for this workout should be to get past 4+ maybe even 5+ rounds. The bar facing burpees should take 30-40 seconds – that’s only 3-4 seconds per burpee – then quick singles on the power cleans, taking about 25-35 seconds with transition. After the last power clean you’ll go into the shoulder to overhead which only takes about 15 seconds or so. Add all that time up and you’re looking around 90 seconds or so per round. Obviously fatigue becomes a factor and those might be aggressive times for everyone, but look at this workout for yourself and plan out your movement and rep times and see how long each movement will take you, then aim for that to remain consistent for the full 8 minutes. Don’t forget you’ll get a full 8 minute rest then we hammer home again. Use that rest to take notes and see what you could change for round 2. Always be learning.
