Athlete Training Notes:
Upper body pump sesh is on deck. The goal on this workout is 1-2 sets on each round of chest to bars, then 1-2 sets on each round of dumbbell bench press, and then hold a consistent pace that puts you at about a 7/10 RPE on the ski or row. If you stay there then you’re looking around a round every 2-2:30 or so. The goal should be to hold that pace knowing that you get a full 8 minute rest afterwards. Once the second round comes around it’s time to empty the tank. At this point you’ll probably build lactic acid much faster than the first round and your grip will definitely start to go, but try to keep moving at the same pace as you held in the first round and then kick it up a notch in the last minute or two.
