Athlete Notes:
Full speed ahead. These 1:1 work rest Wednesday workouts are going to be all about moving fast. You get to rest the same amount of time it took you to complete it so the goal is to go as fast as you can without hitting any dropoff. If you finish the first set in 5 minutes but drop to 7 minutes on the second set, you went out too hot and didn’t approach this the right way. Aim for around 2 minutes or less on each row, and then 1-2 sets on the push press. 40 is a tough number to hit unbroken but see how far you can make it before setting them down. Rest up and then get ready to hit the next set at that same pace.

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
For max unbroken reps:
Bench Press (135/95lbs)

35-49: 135/95 lbs
50-54: 115/85 lbs
55-59: 105/75 lbs
60+: 95/65 lbs

*Go to true failure. This very well could be upwards of 50 reps. That’s why you’re subbing this for the primary metcon. If you do it right you shouldn’t have anything left.

15 Second Max Effort Ski Erg
Rest 75 seconds between sets

C2 Bike
Every 2:30, for 25 minutes (10 sets of):
20/15 Calorie C2 Bike Sprint
