STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE!!! If this doesn’t put you on your back, then you didn’t do it right!
How it should Feel: PAIN!!! The bike and thrusters may hurt more than any other movements. USe the first thrusters to stay steady, hold an aggressive bike pace, then SELL OUT on the last 20 thrusters!!!
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Thrusters: Use a weight you can do ideally unbroken to start, or 2 fast sets at most. You’ve got to breathe well through set 1 or you’ll blow up. Realize there’s plenty of time to make up on the bike, and the real winners of this workout don’t fall apart on thruster set 2.
Echo Bike: The Bike should feel better this year since we just had a great progression on it! We want you to hold 85-90% effort throughout. You can use the last 2-3 calories to wind down as needed so you can get straight to the bike. Your specific pacing totally depends on your ability level here. Scale down calories if it takes more than 4 minutes on the bike
