AEROBIC POWER [LACTATE THRESHOLD]
STIMULUS
- Overview: This workout tests your ability to sustain power output across three AMRAPs with limited recovery. The 3:00 rest is enough to bring your heart rate down, but not enough to fully recover. Expect each round to feel progressively harder.
- Workout Flow: Work for the full 8 minutes each AMRAP. So once you finish the front squats, move back to the bike. After your 3 minutes of rest, pick up wherever you left off in your rounds+reps.
- Your goal is to maintain a consistent pace across all three AMRAPs. A significant drop-off means you went out too hot.
- Choose weights/reps/variations that allow you to complete all stations in about 2 minutes each.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-8
- Target Loading: Light-Moderate (45-55%)
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
- Target Score: 2-3 Rounds
STRATEGY
- Echo Bike: Settle into a strong, sustainable pace. Finish in 2:00-2:30, coming off composed enough to grab the bar quickly.
- Push Press: Break early. Sets of 10-10-10 or 15-10-5 will serve you better than grinding out large sets that fry your shoulders before the toes to bar. Use your legs.
- Toes to Bar: Quick sets of 5-10 with short rest will be more effective than chasing large unbroken sets. Stay relaxed in your kip.
- Front Squats: Break as needed. Sets of 10 are a good target. Keep your elbows high and torso upright.
