STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: The pace should be CHALLENGING with the 1:1 work to rest ratio whenever we do a partner-style workout. Communicate a rep scheme for both prior that can highlight each other strengths and cater towards your weaknesses.

How it should Feel: Both you and your partner received an invitation to this LACTIC ACID PARTY. Workout hard, behave, and make sure you are home before dark.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Rope Climbs: 1 rep back forth, make sure you jump high and use your legs before your arms.

Lunge Walk: 6 lengths total for 3 each means 1 partner goes 50ft and then the other follows. Goal has to be unbroken so stay stepping and breathe through each rep.

Chest to Bar: Depending on skill and where fatigue is we would love for both athletes to hit moderately high sets to keep transitions at a minimum. Worst case, hit 5-10 rep snack and forth.

Echo Bike: A Timebase back and forth (30sec/30sec) can help partners of different calibers, or if both have similar endurance, then 10-15 calories go 1:1. Choose one that supports both and keeps the intensity up with close work to rest ratio.

Dumbbell Squats: 10-15+ reps back and forth is a good aim. Keep them fast and make sure to meet the standards.

SCALING

The SCALING aim is for both athletes to maintain a relatively high intensity with consistent effort.
