Athlete Notes:
A little grit and a lot of grip in today’s workout. Mitigating forearm fatigue is going to be the name of the game. Try to relax your grip as much as you can on the push press to save it for the toes to bar. Ideally we are pushing the pace on this workout, but there will be volume fatigue at some point for each of you. You can choose to sprint to get to that point, or pace it slower, but it’ll all catch up at some point. We’d like for today that you work on pushing the pace and see what happens! Hang on to the bar and hang on to the pull-up bar. If you start failing, you at least learned your threshold!
