STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: Pace this out from the beginning, maintain sets and breaks and see how well you can build speed or hold onto a manageable pace.
*You and your partner should not stop moving for a majority of the workout!
How it should Feel: This workout is from the Mayhem Classic individual competition. It is a great chipper testing cardiovascular and muscular endurance, midline capacity, and your ability to just get work done!
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Burpee Box Jump Over: Keep these smooth and aim for non stop movement. Really break them up to avoid burning out and keep them quick with a fast turn around
Assault Bike: Hold a moderate/fast pace here. Aim for the same time on each of the assault bike portions. A good pacing goal is 400+ watts for men and 325+ watts for ladies.
GHD/AbMat Sit Ups: These will compound with the bar muscle ups or pullups sandwiched in between. Know your ability on these and break with quick rest as needed. Be aggressive with your arm.
Accessory Work
Metcon (No Measure)
4 sets: 10 Reps (each side)
*Build to a moderate/heavy weight, stay the same or build across sets…go as you feel!
Focus: Holding dumbbells in each hand, stand on one foot. Bend at the waist and allow the non-working leg to extend backwards for counter balance. Working leg should have a slight bend throughout rep. Continue forward with the dumbbells until the upper/lower back begins to round or right before contact is made with the dumbbells and the floor (whichever comes first). Aim for this movement is level, balance movement throughout rep (no leaning to left or right) and control of body and dumbbells throughout rep. Do not sacrifice either of these for an increase in weight. To stand, contract the glute on the working side. Consider using straps during this movement so that grip is not a limiting factor for sets. This movement can also be performed at bodyweight with no dumbbells if preferred.
