STIMULUS and GOALS

Interval style workout where you fight the clock to get as much rest as possible with a controllable pace for repeatable performances.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Run: Distance on the run is not crazy but don’t let it entice you to sprint. Pace should be moderate-fast, around 80%.

Dumbbell Snatch: Weight is moderate and the goal should be 1-2 sets of (touch and go). If you struggle with high volume touch and go then go to the old reliable and reset at the bottom of each rep.

Double Unders: In a perfect world we want these unbroken. However, if the grip and heart rate is out of whack the break into 2 sets with a quick rest.
