DESCRIPTION & STIMULUS
One athlete works at a time in this teams of 2 workout
We’ll complete full rounds before switching off
Each athlete will complete every round before climbing in reps
For Example:
Athlete 1: 3-3-3
Athlete 2: 3-3-3
Athlete 1: 6-6-6
Athlete 2: 6-6-6
…
The final score for the day is total rounds and reps completed
Every time one athlete finishes their round, score 1 round
For Example: If the team makes it through the round of 15’s, their score is 10 rounds
BIKE
If unable to Bike, complete one of the following:
Equal Calorie Any Machine
10 Meter Shuttle Runs
WALLBALLS & KETTLEBELL SWINGS
Choose weights on both movements that allows for 25+ unbroken reps when fresh
It’s ok for teammates to use different weights
STRATEGY
WEIGHTED MOVEMENT
With some rest built into today’s workout, let’s see how long we can stay unbroken on the weighted movements
The lower rep rounds (3-6-9-12) are essentially the buy-in for the higher rep rounds (15+) later in the workout
As the workout progresses, there is more work, but also more rest
Once the wallballs and swings get up into the 15+ range, consider taking a quick break if needed
It can be helpful to think of these larger sets in smaller mental chunks
For Example:
Instead of thinking about holding on for 15 reps, make it a mini-goal to just get to 8 reps
If you’re feeling good at 8, hold on until the finish
If you need a quick break, take it knowing you’re more than half way done
BIKE
With a longer workout today, sprinting on the bike from the beginning may not be the best approach
It’s easy to do that in the rounds of 3-6-9, but not necessarily later on in the rounds of 12-15-18
Find a moderately fast pace to sustain on the machine across the board
