Workout Overview

Stimulus

We've got a killer arm pump piece with some cardio to spike that heart rate and breathing between sets. Pacing from round 1 will be key to maintaining our efforts throughout. We can move smoothly and intentionally on this one, while not taking the full time on the clock today.

Scoring

Score | Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep if time capped.

Movements

Strict Pull-ups | Less than :45 of work. 

Dumbbell Floor Press | Unbroken sets and less than :45 of work.

Look For

  • Strict Pull Up | Look for athletes to be pulling the elbows toward the ground, not just pulling their chin over the bar. 
  • Floor Press | Look for athletes to still move the elbows at a 45 degree angle
  • Bike | Look for athletes to be pacing the bike from the beginning that will allow them to minimize their rest between movements as fatigue increases.
