Athlete Notes:
Where yesterday’s workout was all about the skills, today’s workout is all about the grind. We’re starting off hot by blasting your legs with 30 back squats. From there we want to see how well you can keep pushing even with all that lactic acid build up. The faster you go on each section, the more rest you’ll get, but if you’re still going at the 8 minute mark, stop so that you can get at least 2 minutes rest. For the 30 back squats we’d like to see you push to finish them in 1-3 sets. If you’re having to stop every 5 then this weight is likely too heavy for you. The 1000 meter row will be spicy but dig in and hang on! Your goal should be to hold somewhere slightly above your 2k pace. For the second portion it’s all gas. Push hard on the burpees and then grip and rip on the rower. Now that your legs are smoked and your heart rate is sky high you’ve just got 200 feet of lunging and 30 dumbbell front squats to get through. Can you go unbroken?? The faster you move on this the sooner the weight is off your body so just hang on and push the pace on those squats! This is a good opportunity to work more on speed of movement. Really ride the line between going to fast and potentially getting a no rep. That way you know what it’s like to move fast, and if you ever do get a no rep you know how to adjust back!
