Workout Overview

Stimulus

Todays team of three workout we have bike meters continuously moving, while also completing a couplet. Team members can switch when they like, but we recommend switching about every min. The goal should be to go really hard on the bike, so that it feels like you need to rest once the other partner does the couplet. Todays score is total bike calories, think of the couplet as a “buy in” to get back onto the bike.

‍

Scoring

Look For

Bike | Emphasize a smooth and circular pedal stroke. Athletes should apply force not only during the downstroke but also through the entire pedal revolution.
Encourage pulling up on the pedals during the upstroke to engage the hamstrings and recruit more muscle groups.
Deadlift | Athletes should be able to move through these as touch and go, if they are breaking they should scale load.
Rope climb | Look for proper sequence, so that athletes can be efficient.
