Athletes Notes

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Biggest things to keep in mind here: VOLUME !!! You may see small numbers like 4 and 17 but over the course of 7 rounds this will add up quickly. This means you need to pace yourself well.
  • Burpees with Strict Push Ups – these are different than typical burpees. Usually with a burpee, you just need to flop down on the ground and make sure your chest touches and then peel yourself up off the floor. Today I am requiring that your burpees actually be a push up!!!
    • if necessary see the substitution options below.
  • Sit Ups – smooth is fast here. Keep a sustainable pace. You might want to break these up into 2 sets (perhaps 9+8 or 10+7)
  • Line Hops – typical side to side line hops. Focus on quick feet and controlling your breathing. These will definitely add up over 7 rounds.

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Biggest things to keep in mind here:
    • 1) GRIP – the dumbbells + the jump rope will make this grippy.
    • 2) VOLUME – you may see small numbers like 4 and 17 but over the course of 7 rounds this will add up quickly. This means you need to pace yourself well.
  • Dumbbell Devil Press – rest at the bottom of the devil press, but not for too long. Use those hips to get those dumbbells up overhead. Should take you less than 30 seconds each time to do these.
  • Sit Ups – smooth is fast here. Keep a sustainable pace. You might want to break these up into 2 sets (perhaps 9+8 or 10+7)
  • Single Unders – these are RX today. If you end up doing Double Unders that will be considered scaled. Use this opportunity to practice single under speed and going “back to the basics”
