Athlete Training Notes
Today’s workout is an old regionals workout from 2018. Check back to the leaderboards to compare yourself to some of the top athletes in the world. The workout itself will come down largely to your ability to cycle a barbell. Some of the fastest times will be quick singles on the heavy bar followed by consistent burpees, then hammering out the lighter bar and burpees. You’re going to have to play this one based on your abilities. If you know that you’ll struggle on the snatches then you’ll have to fully pace the first part and go ham on the second. If you know you can crush the barbell then play to that strength and stay controlled on the burpees so that you don’t redline too early. Regardless, touch and go on the 10 at the heavier weight is likely a bad decision, but if you try it let us know how it goes!

Additional Cardio Option 2 (Zone 2 Emphasis)

If you are feeling beat down from the primary session or would like to prioritize that today then perform this Zone 2 Option as your additional session today.
