STIMULUS
- Overview: Today kicks off with 3 rounds of 9 thrusters and toes to bar. Once the 3 rounds are complete, you will work through 21 lateral burpees over the barbell. Then, complete 3 rounds of 7 thrusters and toes to bar, followed by another 21 burpees, and finish with 3 rounds of 5 thrusters and toes to bar. As the reps decrease, our thrusters should remain unbroken, and our toes to bar completed in 2 sets or less.
- Target Score: 8-14 Minutes
- Stimulus: Moderate-Light Loading
- Thrusters: Loading should allow for unbroken sets throughout the whole workout.
- Toes to bar: Choose a variation that will allow all sets to be completed in 2 sets or less.
- Lateral Burpees Over Barbell: Each set should be completed in 2:00 or less.
- Score: Time. If time-capped, add 1s for every incomplete rep.
STRATEGY
- You only complete the burpees twice today, so aim to maintain a steady pace and stay low throughout your reps.
- Focus on a strong hip drive in your thrusters. Let the hips be the mover, not just the shoulders.
- Aim to push down on the bar during the toes to bar to engage the lats.
