—then—

2 Rounds

10 Single DB Curl to Press (5 each arm)

10 KB Goblet Squats

MANAGEMENT:

  • Partner people up for the DB and KB work and have them alternate movements with each other, this should also be their partner if they need to share rowers

Specific Warm-up

2 Rounds

30 seconds Easy pace Row

20 seconds Moderate Pace Row

10 seconds Hard Pace Row

—1 minute Rest—

MANAGEMENT:

  • If you need to share rowers, then make the rest 1:15 which allows 15 seconds of transition

Cardio is Hardio

Tabata Row

4 Sets

4 Rounds of Tabata (2 minutes)

20 seconds Easy Pace

10 seconds Hard Pace

—2 minutes rest—

FOCUS:

  • The 20 seconds is an easy pace but make sure you are still focusing on long pulls, use your legs and arms, the 10 seconds is ALL OUT, send it

  • You do 20 easy, 10 seconds hard 4 times (2 minutes), then rest

  • The feel is 2 minutes of continuous interval rowing, then 2 minutes rest for 4 sets

EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

  • If you need to share rowers then make the rest 2:15, this allows a 15 second transition for the next person to get set up on the rower

  • Use the interval setting on the clock, if you don’t know then have someone teach you

  • If you still need more machines then Ski or Bike Erg would be next

  • Assault or Echo Bike make this a very different feeling 😁 but if you have to utilize them then it is what it is

LOGISTICS:

  • I would have all the rowers set up before class on one side of the gym

SCORE: Time

GOAL: 9:00-10:00

PACE: Zero to 💯 real quick…push the pace

FOCUS/STRATEGY:

  • Swings: the Rx weight is heavier than normal on purpose, this isn’t a high amount of volume so it is good to get used to a heavier weight, slight bend in the knee, good hip hinge and flex your butt, arms should just be along for the ride like ropes attached to the KB, stay unbroken

  • V-ups: quality and controlled reps, your shoulder blades should be coming well off the ground, keep your legs straight and feet together, actually touch your shoes, your hands and feet should meet above your waist/stomach area

  • Push-ups: each set is not high volume so the goal it to stay unbroken, chest to deck, full lockout at the top, quality reps each set

BEGINNER: 35/26, Sit-ups, Knees or Hands Elevated Push-ups

SCALED: 53/35, Alt. V-ups, Knees or Hands Elevated Push-ups

Rx+: 88/62
