Athlete Training Notes
Our workout today mixes some barbell cycling, a heavy wall ball, and gymnastics. Singles are going to be the ticket on the barbell. It might be light for some of you, but cycling is just going to blast the grip and having to break up the chest to bar a bunch later on will add up time-wise. Quick singles, stay over the bar, as soon as it hits the ground put your hands back on and pull. The wall ball shots you’re aiming for 1-2 sets. These are a minor inconvenience during the workout but just enough to blast the shoulders a bit and get the heart rate up. There’s only 45 total, but don’t underestimate them. Same goes for the chest to bar pull-ups, try to keep these unbroken if you can knowing that you’re going back to singles on the barbell afterwards. Again, only 45 reps so lower volume than what we’ve seen in recent workouts, but don’t underestimate how they’ll affect everything else. This workout is going to come down to staying disciplined on the barbell, transitioning quickly to the wall ball, and then staying smooth and efficient on the chest to bar pull-ups.
