STRATEGY
This workout is balanced between cardio, weightlifting, and gymnastics
See if you can pick 1-2 of these elements to push, while “recovering” on the other
This creates a tempo within the metcon based on what movements you are better with
Athletes who are strong on the barbell might push for unbroken squats with steady runs and manageable gymnastics
Strong runners might benefit from pushing the runs and chipping away at the weightlifting and gymnastics
Better bodyweight athletes might spread their effort between strong runs and big gymnastics, while chipping away at manageable sets on the barbell
Find the options that maximizes your abilities of where you currently are with these movements
Here are some options on how to get to 25 reps:
2 Sets: 15-10
3 Sets: 10-8-7
4 Sets: 8-7-5-5
5 Sets: 5-5-5-5-5
