STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! This is a long piece that we want you to start and crank through without feeling rushed, but without stopping often! That means learning to pace with a moderate approach from the outset and hold consistent round times. Today the intent is less about “going fast” and more about “staying steady” in the GRIND mindset!
How it should Feel: CARDIO! With some MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! This should be mainly aerobic since the movements/sets are all manageable. The work will add up but should be mixed in enough for you to not have any big sticking points for long! We want solid aerobic work within these “CrossFit” movements!
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: 1 rep every time so give a big jump and use the legs before the arms on the ascent.
Bike Erg: Pacing is moderate, even though it’s low calories you don’t want to blow up the legs. Focus on relaxing yours and slow down the final 2-3 calories.
Wall Walks: This is a manageable but challenging number to keep working through each round without breaking. Aim to do that and recover on the following gmachine.
Chest to Bar: 1-2 sets is all we ask for, if you can manage unbroken then go for it. Otherwise settle for 2 sets with a quick rest between.
Sled Push: It’s a heavy sled so just stay steady on these and keep grinding. The goal should be unbroken 20 yard sections.
Push Ups: Depending on how your body feels, maybe fast 5’s would be a safe bet. If these are your jam then try for unbroken without going to failure.
