Athletes Notes

Score

  • Score of set 1: Total Bodyweight Man Makers
  • Score of set 2: Total Alternating Leg V-Ups

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • During this EMOM, your goal is to accumulate as many reps as possible. You should aim to work for 50 seconds and transition in the final 10 seconds of the minute.
  • You get a full minute to rest and I am encouraging you to stand up and move around… basically do not lay on the floor after the alternating v-ups. This is good discipline, keeps the blood moving and gets your mind ready to attack the manmakers again.
  • These two movements are going to have a big effect on the other. So keep that in mind. There are 5 total rounds.
  • Bodyweight Manmaker: Renegade Row with Push Up + Jumping Air Squat : this is a complex movement. 1 rep is 1 Push Up + 1 Bodyweight Renegade Row (left) + 1 Bodyweight Renegade Row (Right) + 1 Jumping Air Squat.
  • Alternating Leg V-Up : recommending smooth and steady. No need to go crazy here, especially not on rounds 1, 2, or 3….maybe 4 and 5 if you have it in you haha.
