*Pick up where you left off each AMRAP

SCORE: Rounds + Reps

PACE GOAL: 6-8 Rounds

FEEL:

  • Deep Burn

  • Legs will start to feel like a baby giraffe trying to walk :)

  • 1 minute rest after round one will help the start of round two, but the 1 minute rest will feel like nothing going into round three

STRATEGY:

  • RPE of 8-9, push hard to get the calories done quickly, controlled walk to the wall ball and take an extra breath before starting

  • Unbroken on wall balls is the goal, 15 reps is right in that range that will really challenge you, breathe and the top of each rep

  • Try to relax your shoulders and control your breathing on the double unders

EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Really need to keep the bike on this one, you could stagger the start for a second group by 1 minute each round

  • Ski will provide a similar stimulus, but not quite the same

BEGINNER: MB Thrusters @10/8, Line Hops

SCALED: 14/10, 30 Plate Hops or 40 Single Unders
