Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today is similar to a workout we have done “Cement Mixer” on the 3:00, 400m run + 12 TTB for 7 rounds. Though here we are completing 7 rounds for time, with a one minute rest between rounds.  We are also aiming for “unbroken” toes to bar.  Unlike “cement mixer” today is meant to be done at an easy steady pace.  

Scoring

Score: Total Toes to Bar

Movements

Target Score: 70-105 Reps 

Stimulus: Recovery [RPE 2-3] 

Run: For today's stimulus 2:30 or under. 

Toes To Bar: Pick a toes to bar variation that allows for double digit reps every round.

The One | Teaching Focus

Core Engagement

Observe athletes' core engagement throughout the movement. They should initiate the movement by engaging their core muscles to lift their legs upward towards the bar.

Look For

  • Run: Athletes should choose a pace that will allow them to come in the door, and immediately get on the bar with no rest.
  • Toes to bar: Look for athletes to choose a scaling option that will allow them to get in the double digits with full range of motion.
