Workout Overview

Stimulus

Who doesn't love a good "choose your own adventure" day, Tribe! We've got a nice hefty grip piece in front of us with lots of opportunity to strategize and adjust our approach, in order to make the most of the work ahead. Athletes that are stronger at one movement than the others may choose to complete one and then break up the others into manageable sets. Some may break it all up into set rounds, and then there may be a daring few who opt to complete the work unpartitioned. (Same time frames apply)

Scoring

Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep not completed if you are time capped.

Movements

Calorie Row | 10 calorie per minute or more pace.

Pull up | 10 reps within a :30 window

DB Step ups | 8-10 reps within a minute

Strategies
