Workout Overview

Stimulus

The goal with our partner today is to complete as many calories as we can.  We would be able to complete our toes to bar and dumbbell snatches in about 1:30 or less.  Whichever partner finishes first, can start on the rower.  Once on the rower we can switch out however, and whenever we want. 

Scoring

Movements

Toes To Bar | 1:30 or less, 2-3 sets.

The One | Teaching Focus

Maintaining Tension in Toes-to-Bar

Today’s focus is on keeping constant tension throughout the toes-to-bar movement. Maintaining tension through your core, lats, and legs is essential for controlling the movement and maximizing efficiency. This helps avoid unnecessary swinging and ensures you can perform multiple reps smoothly and with better form.

  • Row | Keep the sets here short, in order to ensure we get as many calories as we can.
