LACTATE THRESHOLD & MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

Stimulus

REPEAT FROM 11/6/2025

  • Overview: This workout is a potent metabolic test designed to improve your lactate threshold by pushing high-output cardio and gymnastic movements, immediately leading into a maximal carry that will challenge your grip stamina.
  • Workout Flow: Partition the toes to bar, bike, and double unders however you'd like. See STRATEGY for some partition options. Aim to finish the partitioned block in 18-22 minutes. Upon completion of the toes to bar/bike/double unders, advance to the 400-meter carry.
  • Farmer's Carry: Hold two dumbbells at your sides. Keep your shoulders pulled back, lats engaged, and arms extended (don't bend your elbows). Choose a weight that allows you to carry at least 50 meters at a time.
  • Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
  • Target Loading: Moderate
  • Fitness Attributes Improved: Lactate Threshold & Muscular Endurance
  • Target Score: 20-25 Minutes

* If time-capped, add 1s to your score for every incomplete rep (100m = 1 rep).

Strategy
  • Toes to Bar: Your grip will likely fatigue from the other work, so complete these in smaller, quick sets if needed. If your cycle rate slows, that is a good indicator that you should break these up. You'll also want to preserve some grip for the carry.
  • Farmer's Carry: Hook grip the dumbbells during the carry. Hold them as far forward on the handle as possible so the head presses into your thumb and locks your grip.
