General Training Notes:
Gymnastics your way today. Challenge yourself on the cardio pieces and then get started right away on the 30 seconds of max reps. The goal here is high heart rate skill work. You’ll essentially be working for 90 seconds on and 30 seconds off, but the 60 seconds of machine work should feel like a 7/10 RPE. Make sure you let us know which movements you chose and why!

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.
