Athlete Notes:
Grind. That’s all there is to say about this one. It’s going to be 40 minutes of sweat and grit. Find an RPM or Wattage on the Assault Bike and make it your goal to hold that pace throughout. Our guess is that it’ll likely be within 2-4 RPM of your 30 minute max calorie test. Scoring-wise, this one is tough with the multitude of scores. The goal is to be consistent with each of the efforts, as well as the calories on the bike. If you go too hot out of the gate on chest-to-bar Fran, you’re in for a world of hurt for the remainder of the workout…then again, if you go too slow, those seconds tick away really fast. A good goal would be to keep your times on the two benchmark style (Fran and Diane) workouts to within 1 minute of what your time would be in a fresh situation. The devil’s press you’re just going to have to keep moving one rep at a time and stay checked in on what you’re doing. Same goes for the last piece at the 30-minute mark, it’s simple, yet brutal, so hang on to that jump rope for dear life! This is a GREAT mental test of how well you can stay checked in and task focused on what you’re currently doing. It’s really easy to check out in a workout like this, so our challenge to you is that you don’t let that happen!
