Athlete Training Notes
In today’s interval work we’re looking for 1-2 sets, but aiming for unbroken, on the toes to bar. From there we want you hitting the bike at a pace that gets you off in less than 45 seconds. This should leave you with atleast 30 seconds on the handstand push-ups. Aim to knock out a big set in round 1 and then try to hold on from there. Don’t hold back knowing that there’s 3 total sets. Burn it down on round one then see if you can hold on. Remember this is all about training, pushing limits, and getting stronger. This workout is a perfect compliment to some upper body focused training today.
