Time Cap: 18 Minutes

Stimulus
  • Overview: When you see a descending number of reps, how do you end up strategizing each round? As it progressively becomes less volume, but your fatigue is sure to be higher when you get to those smaller sets, do you go hard to start and settle in or start more conservative to reserve some gas for a final push? The choice is yours today.
  • Run: 3:30 or less.
  • Front Squats: 2:00, 1:30, 1:00 or less of work, respectively.
  • Toes to Bar: 1-3 sets completed in 1:00 or less.
Strategy
  • Athletes should lean toward their strengths in this piece and consider playing it safer on the less strong movements today to save some energy and manage their breathing and fatigue.
  • This piece has the potential to be heavy on the midline and on the heart rate, smooth and steady pace with the barbell and planned sets on the toes to bar can allow for a sustainable but hard pace on the run today.
