• Final Push: Increase intensity in the last 3 minutes to maximize your score.

Coach’s Tips on Execution

• Pace Wisely: This WOD is a marathon, not a sprint. Maintain 80-85% of your max pace.

• Focus on Form: Full range of motion is crucial for pull-ups and push-ups. Scale as needed to achieve this.

• Breathe and Move: Sync your breathing with your movements for better efficiency.

• Listen to Your Body: If a movement feels overly strenuous, consider scaling options to maintain intensity without sacrificing form or safety.
