Athlete Training Notes:
We’re giving you two options for today’s workout. The aim for Saturday’s this cycle is going to be community building and team development so if you’ve got some training partners, grab one and give this workout a go together. We also recognize that there are a lot of you who train alone so we’ll always provide an individual option for the metcon as well. For the partner option make sure you’re sticking together on that run. When you come in from that whoever is the better runner (theoretically should be more fresh off the run) will grab the bar and start knocking out reps. Remember though that the reps have to be split evenly so don’t hit 10 of them and leave a partner who may not be as strong to knock out 10 in a row for themselves. A good strategy there may be 5 reps for one athlete, 10 reps for the second, then 5 reps for the first, or something along those lines. After that you’ll move to the toes to bar where we’ll look to knock them out in 1-2 sets. This is going to take some team work as you’ll have to synchronize with each other. The last movement of each round will be the trickiest to perform. If both of you are great at handstand push-ups then knock out 15/15 and be done. Where it gets tough is if one athlete struggles a little more. Try to save that athlete for smaller sets but to where you’re not stuck staring at the wall. Maybe 8 reps for that athlete, 15 for the other athlete, then 7 for the first to get to 15 each. This workout is all about teamwork and communication. Let us know how it goes!
