Athlete Notes:
Today’s workout is scored as three separate events. Treat them as separate workouts and push yourself on each. This is designed to allow you to go hard on each one individually without needing that movement for the next workout.
Conditioning Part 1: This is a pure test of engine and the power output you can achieve on the machines. You are definitely going to want to have your heart elevated earlier in the session with a good warm up so this isn’t too much of a shock. So if you do not do the back squat portion of this session, get a good warm up.
Conditioning Part 2: Some of you got really familiar with GHDs lately. They are back today, but are the least important in terms of winning workout 2. Just stay smooth on the GHDs so that you can push the handstand walks and wall ball shots.
Conditioning Part 3: Pick your pace based on your abilities. Decide if you want to push the run to give more time for rope climbs or pace the run to feel more fresh when you get to the rope. Either way, make sure you prioritize being efficient.
