(27-57 minutes)

Look For

  • Run/Row:  Encourage athletes to move at as hard of an effort that will allow them to get straight to work on the max reps, and have a repeatable effort. 
  • “Max Reps”:  Encourage athletes to not go to failure on floor movements, choose sets and variations that will allow them to accumulate reps throughout the time.
