AEROBIC POWER [LACTATE THRESHOLD]
STIMULUS
- Overview: This full-body, mixed modal workout will challenge your grip and pulling capacity and tax your shoulders. Smart pacing will be key in navigating where you fatigue during this workout.
- Choose a clean & jerk weight, jump rope variation, and rope climb number you can complete in less than 1 minute each. The bike should take less than 2 minutes.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
- Target Loading: Light (35-45%)
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
- Target Score: 18-25 Minutes
* If time-capped, add 1s to your score for every incomplete rep.
STRATEGY
- This is a beefy workout where your upper body doesn't really get a break. Pace well and start conservatively so that your grip and shoulders don't blow up.
- Clean & Jerks: Don't hold on for big sets. Small sets or even quick singles will keep you fresher.
- Echo Bike: Hold a controlled effort so you don’t blow up your shoulders for the rope.
- Double Unders: Stay relaxed and keep the shoulders loose.
- Rope Climbs: Prioritize smoothness and efficiency, trying to offload some of the work to your lower body. Use your legs: high knees and a strong foot clamp.
