STIMULUS
- Overview: This triple 3-minute AMRAP increases in weight while decreasing reps. With an equal work-to-rest ratio, look to work hard during your working intervals.
- Choose weights that allow you to complete all barbell sets unbroken. Your only rest should be between movements. If you finish the bike calories before the 3-minute mark, start back again at the top.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 7-8
- Target Loading: Light, Light-Moderate, Moderate
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [VO2 Max]
- Target Score: 4-6 Rounds
STRATEGY
- These are large, challenging barbell complexes to start each AMRAP. You will want to be strategic about when you break up the complex.
- The most natural places to break the complex are after the front squats and push press, allowing big sets of each movement. Or complete the front squats and push press unbroken, then take your break before completing your thrusters.
- The bike should be completed at a hard effort (RPE 8) since the goal is to try to get back to the barbell.
