"Over The Rainbow"15 min

3 Rounds:
14 Overhead Squats (115/85)
14 Lateral Barbell Burpees

Directly Into...

3 Rounds:
14 Wallballs (20/14) (10'/9')
14 Lateral Barbell Burpees

Stimulus
  • Overview: Another two sets of 3 rounds back to back today, meaning no rest when transitioning from the first 3 rounds to the next 3 rounds. Keeping heart rate and breathing in check becomes important quickly in order to maintain a consistent effort throughout this piece.
  • Overhead Squats: Unbroken.
  • Lateral Barbell Burpees: About 1:00 of work.
  • Wallballs: Less than 1:00.
  • Score: Total time to complete all work.
Strategy
  • Athletes should try to come out at a consistent pace but not too fast so that they can maintain their sets and intensity in the back half.
  • Full arm fatigue is a big factor today, overhead squats are meant to be challenging and will affect our pace on the wallballs if we let our breathing get away in the first half.
