Strategy & Pacing:
Workout Goals: The goal is to complete all prescribed reps within each minute for a total of three rounds. This workout isn't about winning but about maintaining consistent effort and completing each minute's reps.
Pacing Tips:
Rest Periods: Move smoothly and methodically through the exercises to manage your heart rate, allowing time for rest and transition to the next exercise. Avoid sprinting to prevent burnout.
Unbroken Sets: The rep scheme is manageable, so aim to complete each set unbroken or with no more than one break. Focus on maintaining a steady pace.
Transitions: Set up your equipment to minimize transition time and keep moving smoothly between exercises. The less time spent transitioning, the more time available for recovery.
Coach’s Notes:
Focus on maintaining good range of motion and technique over speed or difficulty.
Remember to land softly on any jumping movements to ensure good force production and reaction.
Consistency is key in this workout.
Embrace the discomfort and stay with it - this workout is about managing the pain and being resilient.
