STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! This one is going to hurt my friends. You can’t avoid it, you can’t run from it, you can’t escape it. Move through these 2 movements like you are on fire! Aim to even keep a faster cycle rate on your double unders and wall balls than you normally do.

How it should Feel: PAIN! This classic combo allows us to move at bigger unbroken sets with a lot of intensity, but that makes it hurt!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Double Unders: This is a BIG set! If you can handle 1-2 sets, then go for it (even if it costs you on the wall balls). Otherwise aim for a challenging rope speed for you while minimizing trip ups.

Wall Balls: 50 is another formidable set for us! Unbroken is the gold standard, but set it down if you have to before completely redlining.
