STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace:

GRIND When it’s your time to shine, push and don’t look back. Long workout but reps are short and you always get a break. Pacing should stay the same from start to finish. Try and keep rounds sub 60 seconds back and forth (10+ rounds/ each)

How it should Feel:

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! The combination of speed and weighted gymnastic movements will only get tougher as rounds progress. Shake out your arms during the rest.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Rope Climb: Jump high and make sure to use your legs first before your arms pull.

Push-ups: It’s only 10 reps, but it’s weighted so break into 2 quick sets if needed to keep a consistent workflow.

Lunge: Short distance so step right into the next lunge without pausing at the top while keeping the standard (reaching full extension).
