- Barbell should come from a rack.
- To Technical Failure means that we are only working so long as our form and technique are still intact. Once things start to break down or our final rep gets slow and grindy, we will end our set there.
- Athletes should build to 90%+10# from our previous attempt.
- Score: Load used for max rep set. Log reps completed in your workout notes section.
Substitutions

Stimulus
- Overview: Big cardio conditioning piece today and with a descending rep scheme, it's sure to get spicier as the sets get smaller! How do we strategize to make the most of our work and handle the interference that comes with these movements?
- Kettlebell Swings: 1-2 sets, the kettlebell is on the lighter side today, so these are meant to be completed pretty quickly. Kettlebell needs to finish overhead and in line with our shoulders and hips to be considered Rx today.
- Calorie Bike Erg: 3:30, 2:30 and 1:30 or less, respectively. We could go for a heavier damper today with a lower RPM to balance out the higher intensity breathing of the swings and doubles.
- Double Unders: Completed in less than 2:00, 1:30 and 1:00, respectively.
- Score: Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep not completed if time capped.
Strategy
- Athletes should aim to have two movements where we are really pushing the pace and one movement that allows us to catch our breath a little bit while we work.
- The grip fatigue will set in a bit once we get into our second round of work on the kettlebell, some athletes may choose to break their first round to prepare them for the following rounds that are meant to be faster as we go.
