Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have a twist on Hero workout “Daniel”.  Looking at our target score and stimulus today, this is more of a grind.  Our RPE target is 6-7 which means our effort and breathing should moderately-hard.  We should be pushing the pace, but at no point should we feel we need to rest for a long period of time.  

Scoring

Score | Time

Movements

Target Score | 12:00-20:00

Stimulus | Lactate Threshold [RPE 6-7]

Pull-Ups | 3:00 or less, should be able to complete sets of 5+ unbroken at a time. 

Run | Target should be 2:15 or less.

Thruster | 3:00 or less here as well, Loading should be light aiming for big sets.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Explode Through The Hips

Today’s focus is on generating power by exploding through your hips during your thruster. The key to a powerful and efficient transition to the overhead press is driving force from your hips. Without this explosive movement, more strain is placed on the arms and shoulders, limiting your ability to lift heavier weights effectively.

Look For

  • Pull Ups | Today we have huge sets of pull ups, it is super easy for athletes to get caught up on big sets like this.  Encourage athletes to find a scaling option that will allow them to finish the reps in the time frame that is given. 
  • Run | Athletes should be able to hit the time frames on their runs today, while being able to make it in and get right to work on the reps inside. 
  • Thrusters | These should be light for athletes today,  we are looking for big sets each time we are at the barbell.  If athletes seem to be struggling, encourage them to pull back the loading.
