The next block is the isometric phase. Here, the focus is on holding the lift in a typical position of struggle or weakness before completing the lift. This phase will help you overcome sticking points by strengthening the muscles needed to lift the weight in that particular position. For the strict press, we will pause at eye level, on the way up. In part 2, Today's conditioning piece requires a bit of self control and pacing, especially in the first 3 rounds. On paper this one looks fun and straightforward, in reality we've got a hefty barbell piece paired with some heart rate increasing cardio. If we aren't careful in the beginning we'll be sure to pay for it in the back half.

Athletes can partner or group to share barbells for the lift portion.
It will flow best if each athlete has their own barbell for the metcon.
Athletes should approach the burpees and box jumps with caution today in order to keep our heart rate and breathing in a place that lets us move fairly quickly on our barbell work. If we get carried away in the first 3 rounds we're going to feel it on the second 3 rounds.
