Workout Overview

Stimulus

This is a repeat workout from 7/25/23. Athletes should plan to push the pace each round knowing there is a minute of rest between each round. That being said, we should also be aiming for consistency! Find a hard pace on the rower that is repeatable and allows us to stay within :05-:10 each round. Hang onto that wallball!

Scoring

Score | Total time to complete work, including rest. Add 1s per rep not completed if we are time capped.

Movements

Row | Should be completed in 1:00 or less 

Wallballs | Should be completed in 1:00 or less

The One | Teaching Focus
