Athlete Notes:
We’ve got an interval style open workout coming up today. The descending weight on the barbell just means you get to continue moving at the same speed as you fatigue. We’re looking for high volume thrusters because Monday’s are all about building up that muscle endurance in your lower body. The goal here is 1-2 sets on all rounds of thrusters followed by 1-2 sets on all rounds of toes to bar and then consistent paces on the burpees. That 2:30 rest is going to go by quick but should hopefully decrease your heart rate enough to where you can continue at the same sustained effort even as fatigue sets in.
