Athlete Notes:
Today we have some fast and heavy testers. Notice that the workouts have a time cap in order to guarantee rest before the next part. So go hot, go heavy, test yourself. You will get the rest you need for the next part so be aggressive. Everyone is going to be breathing hard when it gets time to pick up the barbell, but you just have to make yourself go. As long as you can be in a safe, controlled position then get started.

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.

Strongman Option
Three sets of:
45 second Dead Hang from Pull-Up Bar
50-Meter Pinch-Grip Plate Carry
Max Strict Pull-Ups
Rest 90 seconds

Running Endurance Option
Four sets for times of:
Run 1600 Meters @ 5k PR pace
2 Minutes of Jogging at Active Recovery Pace

Refer to your notes from the week of November 16, 2020 for guidance.

Rowing Endurance Option

online pharmacy buy diflucan no prescription with best prices today in the USA

For time:
Row 2000 Meters @ 22 s/m
Row 2000 Meters @ 24 s/m
Row 2000 Meters @ 26 s/m
Row 2000 Meters @ 24 s/m

We are continuing our focus on strokes per minute again this week. Pay close attention to your power output and times for each segment and start to learn how you operate best for longer endurance efforts. Are you more efficient and effective with a slower stroke count and higher output, or with an increased stroke count? Which do you find easier to sustain? Use these sessions as learning opportunities and make note of your findings.

I found out my du’s are hard after rope climbs. I think because further in the rounds i start using my biceps while getting my feet higher on the rope. Should i focus on keeping my arms straight? Or do you have any suggestions to work on that?

Did 75GHD’s and called it a day
This week was heavy but enjoyed it! Thanks for that Tino💪🏽

Keep your arms relaxed and close to your body focusing on flicking and rotating at your wrist not your shoulder and elbow.

This should also help:

I was thinking that yesterday would have hit a lot of you guys hard! Be sure to dial in some extra recovery this weekend and start to focus on making sure you’re ready for the AGQ!

LOVE that you are really pushing the pace and testing that redline. I think its important you learn how to pace but the only way to do that is to find out where that redline is and know how it feels so you can apply that learning to training going forward.

Have fun tomorrow, just make sure you don’t get to crazy and it effects Mondays training!
