STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! 3 grueling sets where you have to keep your foot on the pedal and hold on. There is no real reason to stop other than to breathe. Come out with a moderate/fast push pace effort (80-85%) while aiming to replicate pacing across movements and sets. The 3rd time through should be your fastest but don’t sell out early. Kick it up on that set of 12s then empty the tank on that final round of 9.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! During the break, it’s all about controlling your heart rate. Be methodical, stand there, and look at your equipment.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike / Row / Run: Moderate-high intensity here (80-85%) while avoiding coming out too hot. Be aggressive when getting on and off the erg, but don’t blow your lungs up so you can not get to work on the barbell. Slow down the final 2-3 calories every time before transitioning. Sub 50 seconds is a great goal for each opening set of calories.

Hang Power Snatch: The weight is light (under 60% of 1RM power snatch), and all reps can be completed unbroken. If you need to break, keep it short and focus on relaxing your grip at the top of each rep.

Bar Facing Burpees: Smooth and steady here while keeping your heart rate under control. The only time we should see that pace increase is the final set of 9.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Three quick triplets that start with heavy lifting, transition into gymnastics, and then give us a taste of both with the final. Pacing on all three should be aggressive while mirroring round times across. Try to keep stations as close to non-stop/unbroken as possible while using the between movements as rest.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! Every single body part is going to be hit today. Control your breathing and take your foot off the gas slightly to survive.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 23 minutes (Total time including rest)
Time Cap: 24 minutes (including rest)

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! These are moderately aggressive chippers, where the movements stay the same, but the rest and reps decrease. Coming out with a smooth and consistent pace with calculated breaks early on will allow you to ramp up the intensity as the sets go on.

How it should Feel: GASSY into CARDIO! Each one starts with a good primer for your heart rate and keeps it elevated through a nasty grind of movements.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Pacing should stay the same through each set. Think moderate-steady effort (75-80%) with heavy emphasis on controlling your breathing. No needs to knock yourself out early here. Play it smart and just keep moving.

Lunges / Sled Push: Distance stays the same and weight so you will know what you are in for after the first set. Just stay moving and find a hold that doesn’t over exhaust your shoulders. Try to minimize the amount of rest stops taken. Weight is moderate and should allow for a near non-stop effort.

Wall Walk: Touch and go what you can. Once you feel the burn sink in, adjust to quick shoulder rollouts at the bottom of each rep.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! It’s cardio day, and that means we will be in it for the long haul. Sets are short with a 3:00 amrap that starts with a buy-in where intensity should be up with a push pace effort. The goal should be to finish the first station in 1:45 or less without emptying the tank. Find that pacing early that allows for a sustainable attempt through each machine.

How it should Feel: GASSY! There’s no way to put it, but other than that, it will take your breath away.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Erg: Focus on utilizing the total body and breathing through the motion. Pacing should be the same whether you start or finish on the ski. 85% effort while ensuring that the final 2-3 calories are slowed before transitioning when it’s the start.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE!! We all saw what the workout did to many of the athletes. Learn from their mistakes and be smart on the first workout. Pacing should be moderately aggressive on both, with calculated breaks to avoid blowing up.

How it should Feel: PAIN!! The push/pull combo is a classic arm wrecker; the heavy yoke each workout is a sneaky heart attack thrown in the mix.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Thruster: First weight should be unbroken, or 2 sets at most! Just suck it up and make it happen while the second weight we highly recommend breaking into 2 sets. Even if you can go unbroken you have to play it smart and know that it’s only going to get worse.

Kipping Chest to Bar: Unbroken is possible for some, however, if you know your grip or fatigue is prone to burning out then break it into quick manageable sets.

Farmers Carry: Unbroken! Take a deep breath and rock these two carries out.

Bar Muscle Ups: Plan to break more than you think. After all the pushing and pulling prior it’s better to play it safe, than push to failure out of the gate. If you plan to perform smaller sets than be aggressive on your rest.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into CHALLENGE! Just a classic 3-round triplet that will test your shoulders and breathing through each round. Aim for consistent round times and sets across.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and/or GASSY! If you pace it right, it should be steady sailing through rounds 1 and 2, with a little more fight into the third.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Unders: 1-3 sets should be the goal. Take a deep breath before you start each set, and ensure that the rope gets laid down neatly after you are done.

GHD Sit Up: This is the area where you should focus on settling your heart rate and relaxing your shoulders. Be aggressive with your legs and hips every rep.

Strict Handstand Push Up: If you are good at it, aim for it to be unbroken. If not, then play to break with a quick rest between sets.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! This workout is Similar to the iconic Linda workout, which is a total-body strength party. Refrain from overdoing the first few rounds, as they will fly by and be tempting to push. Use the time between stations as your longer rest points, and just keep moving.

How it should Feel: HEAVY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! It’s a slow burn, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Back Squat: Weight selected should be moveable where all sets up to 10 can be completed unbroken. Belt up if needed and stay steady through the reps.

Strict Press: This will be the hardest station as time goes up. Break early, then plan and ensure the selected weight allows for at least 5+ reps when fresh.

Deadlift: Same weight as the back squats and should be the easiest station. Use this area for calculated breaks to save your legs for the squats. Break early and often while mixing your grip every time.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Moderate, chipper-style pacing throughout. Stay steady in the first half of this workout through the gymnastics and then push the effort if you can in the second half. Be careful; this workout will get shoulder-heavy if you let it. Make smart and calculated stops to avoid blowing up the arms.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! It’s all about the back half of the workout. Get through the rings, and then it’s time to see what you are made of.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski: Smooth and steady. This is the start, so keep effort at a moderate push pace (75-80%). On the second ski, we pick up the pace towards the end and sell out the final 10-15 calories.

Single Dumbbell Hang Snatch: The selected weight should be moderately light, where reps can be completed in sets of 10-20+.

Kipping Ring Muscle Up: Break these up sooner than later to hold consistent sets of 3-5+ reps.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Here’s a solid cardio piece that allows you to slowly groove into a moderate-fast, consistent effort while rest decreases across sets. It only gets harder as it goes on, so play the first few sets smart, build on the pace, and sell out on the final. During the rest, it’s crucial to get your heart rate under control and steady your breathing.

How it should Feel: GASSY! This workout is like a boa constrictor. Each set gets harder and harder to breathe.

Minimum Rounds before scaling each set: 2

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Eight minutes of non-stop moving where we should aim for consistent rounds and sets. Set the pace within the first two rounds and see if you can maintain it. Coming out too fast will put you in a cardio deficit where you won’t be able to recover.

How it should Feel: GASSY into CARDIO! All up and down which will keep the heart rate on a roller coaster. Control it and use the time between movements to get a quick breath.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: Big jump every time and use the legs before the arms to ascend up the rope.

Thruster: It’s an empty barbell so unbroken is the only option. Don’t pump these out and give a slight pause at the top of each rep to steady your breathing.

Double Unders: Unbroken, take a deep breath before the start and focus on relaxing your shoulders. Lay the rope down after each set to ensure you don’t come back to a tangled mess.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
