"Ripple Effect"18 min

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10:
Front Squats 135 / 95 lb
200 Meter Run

Time Cap: 18 Minutes

Stimulus
  • Overview: Lots of leg and lung work in this piece, let's be careful not to get pulled out too early on our runs when our squat sets are small. As the workout progresses and our squat reps increase, the runs will feel increasingly more difficult to maintain our paces on. Patience is key in the beginning.
  • Front Squats: Sets should be unbroken today, aiming to hold a smooth and steady pace to allow push on the runs.
  • Run: About 1:15 or less today, aiming for consistency each round.
  • Score: Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep not completed if we are time capped.
Strategy
  • Athletes confident on the barbell reps today should try to push their pace during the runs, but allow for picking up the barbell quickly to get back to work.
  • Keep a steady pace on the run if we are less confident on the barbell in order to maintain a smooth transition and working pace between the two movements.
  • Let's try to avoid dropping the barbell once we pick it up today, opt to try and take some deep breaths in the standing position if we feel we need to rest or break. Smooth is fast.
