Athlete Notes:
Tuesday’s during the open are a day that we want to focus on some movements that we will likely see come up during the “quarterfinal stage”. That said, we’ve also provided an option for those of you wanting to focus more on movements that we forsee showing up in the open. Regardless, this is how to approach today’s workout. The first 1k row should be done at a pace that is about :05-:08/500m slower than your 1k PR pace. We want you to row hard, but not be smoked coming off of it. Those of you starting with the 150 double unders, you know the drill. Smooth and efficiently, don’t plan to break. For the GHD’s we’d like to see them unbroken. If you’re doing the toes to bar option, we’re looking for 1-3 sets here. As fatigue sets in, especially grip fatigue, you’ll likely have to hit fast sets with quick breaks. For the thrusters, this weight is so 2008, so we’d like to see them done in 1-2 sets. That said, these are the rhythmic thrusters that we always talk about, not the break-neck speed “Fran” thrusters. You should move quickly, but not redline on them. For the rope climbs, we want these fast and efficient, your arms will be tired, so focus on your foot hook and minimizing using your arms as much as possible (lift those legs REAL high). If you’re doing the single arm Devil’s Press option, you just get to move, no stopping :). After making it through those three rounds it’s time to hammer down on your finishing movement. We’d like to see you hit the final 1k row harder than the 1k to start (give everything you’ve got left). The final 150 double unders, unbroken :).
Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.
Mixed Modal Conditioning Option
Three rounds of:
400 Meter Run
20/15 Calorie Assault Bike
50 Double-Unders
Rest 3 minutes and repeat for a total of 3 sets
Stability/Unilateral Accessory Option
Four sets of:
Sandbag Shoulder Hold Right Side x 60 seconds
Rest 30 seconds
Sandbag Shoulder Hold Left Side x 60 seconds

The goal is to not collapse your core on the side that is holding the weight. Use a lower weight than you typically use for a sandbag workout
