STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: STEADY! This workout might look simple on paper but the time frame for each round is going to force you to go at a pace that is uncomfortable with little built in rest. Focus should be not stop moving on the dumbbell and having minimal rest in transitions between movements.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! This one will add up with the total time and keep you out of breath!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Bike: You want to push the pace here as much as you can, while not falling off toward the end. The faster you go the longer you will have to get the other reps done and then rest afterwards.

Dumbbell Snatch and Clean and Jerk: The focus needs to be smooth transitions and not having to put the dumbbell down during the sets. Going slower and smoother will lead to success in the workout as a whole.
