STIMULUS
- Overview: This workout is all about clearing the upfront volume efficiently so you can spend as much of each 6:00 window rowing as you can. With an ample 3:00 of rest between AMRAPs, you can afford to push each row.
- Choose a light barbell weight you can complete within 2 sets. The sit-ups and double unders should each take less than 2:00. This should leave you at least 1:00 on the rower each round.
- Sit-ups: Each rep begins with your knees bent to a 90º angle, feet flat on the ground, and hands touching the ground behind your head. The rep is credited when you touch both hands to your feet.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
- Target Loading: Light (35-45%)
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
- Target Score: 850-2,000 Meters (M), 750-1,800 Meters (W)
STRATEGY
- Snatches: Approach these however you think you can complete them the quickest. If you can do large sets and keep a fast cycle rate, go for it. You'll have time for your grip to recover during the sit-ups.
- Sit-ups: Stay steady and try to do them in as few sets as possible. You should be able to recover both your breathing and muscular fatigue here a bit.
- Double Unders: We want to complete these in as few sets as possible, so stay relaxed, keep your breathing in control, and keep your shoulders loose. Don't death-grip the handles.
- Row: Your approach here depends on how much time you have remaining in each interval. If you have about 1:00 to row, go hard from the start. If you have closer to 2:30 to row, settle into a strong pace, then ramp up the intensity in the last 0:45-1:00.
