STIMULUS and GOALS

How to Pace: CHALLENGE. This workout hits you fast and hard! Go out at a challenging pace, but not full send.

How it should Feel: PAIN CAVE!. It is going to hurt. Be ready for it!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Deadlifts: aim for 1-2 sets on the deadlift each round, with 3-4 at the most if they are fast rest breaks. You’ve got to move quickly through these, knowing most of the time will be spent on the burpees.

Burpee pull ups: these will be a grind! Aim to pick a pace and stick with it throughout. Steady is the goal.

Try to use a bar that is about 8 feet off the ground or 6″ outside of your max reach!
