Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Today is all about speed. We want to be FAST paced in every set. Aim to really utilize the 2 minutes to recover and mentally prepare to do it again.
  • Your goal should be to maintain consistent times across all 5 sets, or even gradually get faster. Use the first set to test your pace and strategy and then determine if there is anything you should do different in the remaining sets to keep up the intensity.
  • Plan to attack with 90-95% effort …..and DO NOT SHORTEN YOUR REST.
  • Mountain Climber – these are going to be left + right = 1 rep. You complete these at the beginning of each set when you are most “fresh”. Make it a goal to stay moving.
  • Alternating Leg V-Up – we gotta make these as close to unbroken as possible, BUT we also need to make sure we don’t blow up early on. If you know 100 of these is going to take a toll on you, then go in with the strategy of 2 quick sets of 10.
  • Bodyweight Walking Lunge – just move!! Tap that back knee to the ground and stand tall going right into the next lunge. We should be completing these as down 25ft and back 25ft, down 25ft and back 25ft. Work on the transition/direction change.

  • Double Dumbbell Farmer’s Carry – hang on to those dumbbells here! We should be completing these as down 25ft and back 25ft, down 25ft and back 25ft. Work on the transition/pivot skills. Keep the core tight to be sure you aren’t leaning towards one side or the other.
  • Alternating Leg V-Up – we gotta make these as close to unbroken as possible, BUT we also need to make sure we don’t blow up early on. If you know 100 of these is going to take a toll on you, then go in with the strategy of 2 quick sets of 10.
  • Bodyweight Walking Lunge – just move!! Tap that back knee to the ground and stand tall going right into the next lunge. Again same idea keeping these in 25ft sections.
