Athlete Training Notes
Today’s workout is another old quarterfinals team workout. We hit this one last year. This one is all gas. Hammer the row, go unbroken on the barbell, then quick reps on the rope climbs working on fast transitions when you’re switching out. Use that 3 minute rest to regain composure then it’s time to hit it hard again. If you’re doing the individual option you’ll be doing the same thing just no synchro and no sharing of the rope or chest to bar pull-ups. A good goal is to try and get about 60 seconds on the rope or pull-up bar during each of the 3 sets. That 1:1 work:rest should be sufficient for allowing you to hit each of the three sets with max effort.
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.
Additional Cardio Option 1
In teams of 2, perform the following…
Against a 15 minute clock, perform as many calories as possible of:
Partner 1: Max Calorie Echo Bike
Partner 2: 6 Sandbag to Shoulder + 12 Sandbag Bearhug Squats + 150 Foot Sandbag Bearhug Carry (150/100lbs)
35-54: 100/75 lbs
55+: 75/50 lbs
*Partner 1 is accumulating as many calories on the bike as possible while partner 2 is performing the sandbag buy-in. Once partner 2 finishes they may rest until partner 1 gets off the bike. Anytime a partner gets off the bike they must perform the sandbag buy in before they can bike again.
