Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have our second BRING A FRIEND DAY option!  This is a great day to encourage members to invite a friend or two to the gym!  The team option for the workout is in the logistics section. 

In part 1, This is the second week of our 4-week Heavy Doubles strength cycle. This cycle is designed to help build maximum strength by focusing on lifting near-maximal weights for two repetitions. We’ll progress from more sets with shorter rest at lower percentages to fewer sets with longer rest at higher percentages.  In part 2, We're aiming for continuous movement throughout this entire workout. Each round should take no longer than 8-6-4-2 minutes respectively, which puts you right at the 20-minute time cap.

Scoring

Score: Time

Movements

Target Score: 12-18 Minutes 

Stimulus: Lactate Threshold [RPE 6-7]

Run: 4:00-3:00-2:00-1:00 Respectively 

Burpee Pull-ups: Choose a bar height just out of fingertip reach. Find a pace that supports unbroken, continuous movement in each set. You may jump into either a strict or kipping pull-up. You should be able to complete at least five burpee pull-ups per minute – modify accordingly.

The One | Teaching Focus

Initiation of the Pull

Check that the pull-up starts with the scapulae initiating the movement, followed by elbow flexion. This ensures engagement of the back muscles rather than relying solely on the arms.

Strategies

Approach this workout at a pace that allows you to keep moving the entire time. Don't go so hard on one movement that you can't move directly into the next movement.

During the burpee pull-ups, start your burpee directly under the bar so that when you jump, you are set to jump right into your pull-up. After you finish your pull-up, drop directly to the floor, using gravity to assist. Ride your momentum down to the ground, stand up, and then take a pause there if needed.

Look For

  • Run:  The goal here should be to run at as hard of a pace as possible that will still allow athletes to come in and get right to work on burpee pull ups. 
  • Burpee Pull-Ups: Look for athletes to have chosen a scaling option that keeps them moving smoothly through the reps.
