STRATEGY
GENERAL
While the final score is your total reps across the 5 rounds, we can approach this workout like the score is your lowest reps of the 5 rounds
Thinking of it in this manner can help you stay consistent in your effort across the board
When determining your initial speed, keep in mind that there is only a short 1 minute of rest between rounds
There are a couple of approaches that can be helpful in being efficient:
Envision how you’ll be moving in rounds 3-4 and try to hold that pace or rep number from the beginning
Work for around 45 seconds on each movement in the 1st round and try to hold that number of reps in rounds 2-5 when you are more fatigued
Establish the 1st round as your lowest scored round and try to either hold the same reps or increase by 1-2 reps each round
