Workout Overview

Stimulus

We get into the spicy zone quickly today, with some back to back pressing movements into a nice long effort pulling movement. Coming into this one with a strategy for both the wallball and the burpees will be key with the interference of these. Even with a 1:00 rest between efforts, those lungs and triceps will light up early.

Scoring

Score | Total time to complete work, including rest. Add 1s per rep not completed if we are time capped.

Movements

Burpees Over Rower | About 2:00 of work per set. 

Wallballs | Weight should allow for 10+ reps 

Calorie Row | Aiming for a 15/12 calorie per minute pace for men and women respectively.

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Stay low on the burpees

Stay low on the burpees over the rower as best you can and find a pace that will let you keep moving, even when your arms are under fatigue. We can use these as our pacer and a place to "catch" our breath.

Logistics

The workout is performed as 2:00 / 1:00 off.  Be sure to have your time frames ready to call out as athletes are working so they know when to stop and start. 

Sharing rowers for todays workout is really difficult, so if you need to use different machines, have the conversions ready.

Wall ball | tell, show, do, check 

  • 5 medball deadlift

Burpee over rower | tell, show, do, check

  • 3 step back, step up burpees + step over rower
  • 3 step back, step up burpees + jump over rower
  • Teach the foot work to jump over the rower.  The most common is to cross the outside foot over first.
  • 3 jump back, step up burpees + jump over rower
  • This is typically the most efficient for a workout like today with a bigger rep scheme, the step up allows for better pacing and controlled breathing.
  • 3 burpees over rower (quick)
  • Emphasize athletes to stay low to the rower, to keep reps efficient.

Look For

  • Burpees | look for athletes to stay low, and move consistently
  • Wallball | look for hips to extend first, the shoulders will be fatigues so try to save them as much as possible
  • Row | leg drive, athletes need to drive hard with the legs before they finish with the arms.
