Athlete Notes:
Back at it with another earn your weekend Saturday! Today we’ve got the classic couplet of deadlifts and bar facing burpees but with a little handstand walk wrench thrown in. Whether you’re doing the individual option, or one of the team options, this workout is going to come down to smart sets on the deadlifts, finding a pace that you are pushing yourself but not blowing yourself up on the burpees, and trusting your fitness on the handstand walk. If you come off the burpees and are too gassed to kick up into the handstand walk, then you clearly went too fast. On the flip side, if you go too slow on the burpees then you may as well say bye bye to a good time. We want to see the deadflits all done in 1-3 sets (depending on how strong you are at deadlifting).. if it’s taking more than that then it’s too heavy! For the burpees we want to see an aggressive pace set for the first 3/4 of the reps, and then you can ease off the throttle just slightly so as to allow yourself the ability to kick up directly into the handstand walk. As with all handstand walking that we do, we want you to pick a distance that will challenge you to do unbroken. Whether that’s 5-10-25 or 50 feet unbroken, pick something and stick with it! Have some fun and earn that weekend!
Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.
Strength Accessory Option

Three sets of:
8-10 Alternating Seated Dumbbell Z-Press (each arm)
Immediately followed by…
8-10 Tempo Push-Ups with Hands on Dumbbells @ 3211
Rest 1-2 minutes

Bike Endurance Option
Ten sets for times of:
30 Calories on Damper 5
Rest 60 seconds
*For all of these intervals, please note how you feel on specific dampers. Each individual will have a specific preference as to what feels best (the correlation between effort, leg fatigue, and heart rate) for them.
Running Endurance Option
Every 3 minutes, for 30 minutes (10 sets) for times of:
Run 200 Meters @ 100% of your 400m PR pace
Jog 200 Meters @ active recovery pace
Rowing Endurance Option
Every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes (6 sets) for max meters:
2 minutes and 30 seconds of Rowing
Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across all sets…and if possible, the same pace as last week’s 2 minute efforts. You have six sets of work, so adjust your RPE (rate of perceived exertion) accordingly – starting around 85-90% and increasing each set to maintain consistent splits.
