Athletes Notes

Scoring

  • Set 1 – total # of shuttle run reps (across entire EMOM)
  • Set 2 – total # of air squat reps (across entire EMOM)

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • This is a 5 set workout, so we want to be sure that we don’t start set 1 full send…that wouldn’t be sustainable or smart.
  • I would recommend stopping around the 50-55 second mark to allow for a seamless transition to the next minute.
  • Shuttle Run – for scoring, down 25ft and back 25ft is 1 rep. If you don’t complete a full rep by the end of the minute, it will not count in your score.
  • Air Squats – you don’t need to go fast here to rack up reps. Just focus on consistent steady movement. If you take a break to shake it out, try to get right back to it quickly.
