“If you want to be truly successful at it, you cannot be content with pretty good.” – Tim Grover
5 rounds, 1 min per station, for reps:
Row Calorie
Power Clean, 115/85 lbs
Burpee
Rest 1 min
DESCRIPTION & STIMULUS
Working for 3 minutes and resting for 1 in this 5-round workout
Record a running total of your repetitions over the three minutes and write down scores during your rest period
Your final score is the sum total of your reps across the 5 rounds
For Example: If your reps went 40-40-40-40-40, your final score would be 200
Choose a light-moderate weight for the power cleans that you will likely complete in small sets during the workout
For the burpees, ensure chest to floor and full extension at the top of each rep
If you’re short on rowers, stagger heats by 2 minutes
STRATEGY
Let’s aim for consistency in total reps across the 5 rounds today
With only 1 minute of rest after each round, our pace won’t be quite as aggressive as the 5 minute on, 5 minute off workout from earlier in the week
For each movement, have a number in mind that you want to hold on the minute, taking into account the transitions on the first two stations
For Example: Your goal could be to complete 15 calories, 15 power cleans, and 15 burpees each round (=1 Rep Every 4 Seconds)
Having these numbers in mind helps you stay focused on the task at hand and gives you an idea of what pace you need to hold across the 3 minutes of work
Set the tone in the first round and use that number as your guideline for the following 4 rounds of work
