STIMULUS
- Overview: Start each AMRAP with a set number of double unders and push press before accumulating as many burpees as you can in the remaining AMRAP time. There is no rest between AMRAPs. Choose reps, weight, and variations that give you at least 1:00 on the burpees each round. Ideally, we're aiming to have roughly 2:00-2:00-1:00 to complete burpees for each AMRAP, respectively.
- Push Press: Should be completed in no less than sets of 10 throughout.
- Lateral Burpees Over Barbell: A two-foot take-off is not required, but you are required to jump over the bar (rather than step over). Both feet should be in the air at the same time.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8
- Target Loading: Light-Moderate (45-55% of 1RM Push Press)
- Fitness Attributes Improved: Aerobic Power [VO2 Max] & Muscular Endurance
- Target Score: 45-90 Reps
STRATEGY
- This workout is broken into 3 separate AMRAPs, but let's not be tricked. This is one continuous workout.
- Perform the burpees during the 6:00 AMRAP at a pace that you would hold if we asked you to perform burpees for 10 minutes straight.
- Perform the burpees during the 4:00 AMRAP at a pace that is a little faster.
- The burpees of the final AMRAP should be performed at maximal effort.
