Athlete Notes:
Today’s workout is going to test your engine and muscle endurance. This is a little spinoff of an old regionals workout from 2015 where we saw rowing, strict handstand push-ups and chest to bar pull-ups. We just added in the lunge to make things a little more interesting :). Your goal on each of the rows should be around 60 seconds. This means holding above a 1200 for men and around a 950-1000 cal/hr for women. The handstand push-ups will be the separator for most of you. We would advise getting rid of the deficit if you know that you couldn’t do 10 in a row when you’re fresh. We’d like them to be done in 1-2 sets each round. For the chest to bar pull-ups we’re looking for 1-2 sets as well. Your shoulders and grip will get a little fatigued in this workout, but this has the potential to be one of the faster stations, so quick reps should be the goal. If you’re labored on your pull at all or get out of rhythm, drop off real quick and get right back to it. The lunges we want to see unbroken. You can set a 50 foot increment or 25, but you should essentially complete the whole length without dropping the dumbbell. Have some fun and get after it!
