Time Cap: 30 Minutes

Stimulus
  • Overview: Today is a challenging pyramid-style workout that might look simple on paper, but the volume of reps accumulates quickly and starts to impact one another. Work deliberately and at a hard, steady pace from the beginning.
  • Row: Choose a row distance that you can complete in 7:00 or less.
  • Thruster: Weight should be very light and something you can complete within 2-3 sets.
  • Pull-ups: Choose a pull-up variation/rep number that takes 5:00 or less to complete.
  • Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8
  • Target Loading: Very Light
  • Fitness Attributes Improved: Aerobic Power & Muscular Endurance
  • Target Score: 15-25 Minutes
Strategy
  • Row at a pace that is equivalent to your 5k PR pace. This should feel challenging, but you could maintain it for 30 minutes when fresh.
  • Complete your thrusters in as few sets as possible, breaking as soon as you start to feel your form break down or the speed of reps slow.
  • Pull-ups should be completed in sets that allow for crisp technique and good form. If kipping, make sure your form remains sound. If doing strict pull-ups, do not take any set to failure. Always leave reps in the tank.
