Workout Overview

Stimulus

We've got a hefty dumbbell and a spiked heart rate today with a little bit of recovery time between rounds. We're giving a solid push on all 3 movements today, but the dumbbell is where the spice starts to hit, working under fatigue with a heavier than normal single arm push press with some tired legs to boot.

Scoring

Total time to complete work, including rest.

Movements

Double Under | less than 1:00

Calorie Bike Erg | 2:15 or less of work each round

DB Push Press | challenging, but sets should still remain unbroken throughout

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Explosive hip drive

Look for a powerful extension of the hips and knees, transferring force vertically to lift the dumbbell.
