Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, continuing our cycle we're building in weight to a heavy set of 5 reps.  Today will likely have a lot of athletes that cannot do unassisted or weighted strict pull-ups, for this we want athletes to complete banded pull-ups.  We recommend looping the band from the bar and around the knee to ensure scoring is even across the board.  In Part 2, This is a high aerobic workout meant to improve your threshold and overall work capacity. Work hard to hold consistent rounds throughout.

Scoring

Score: Time

Movements

Target Score: 8-15 Minutes

Stimulus: Lactate Threshold [RPE 6-7]

Run: Aim for a run distance you can complete in under 1:00. Run at the fastest pace that allows for good, safe rope climbs.

Rope Climb: Choose a variation that takes less than 30 seconds to complete. If regular rope climbs are relatively easy for you with about a minute rest between, you can scale up to legless rope climbs.

The One | Teaching Focus

Pulling Elbows Toward the Floor in Strict Pull-Ups

Today’s focus is on actively pulling your elbows down toward the floor to engage your back muscles more effectively during strict pull-ups. By visualizing and driving your elbows downward, you recruit your lats and upper back, reducing excessive strain on the arms and shoulders. This technique creates a stronger, more controlled pull.

MINDSET

"It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward."

Progress is often more sustainable when made gradually; small, consistent steps are better than one big, risky leap.
