Athlete Notes:
We’ve got two EMOM’s and for time pieces mixed in together today. The first one is very similar to the week 3 emom but no rest minute and stepovers instead of burpees. After just three rounds you’re going straight into another two rounds for time. This should hopefully have you done by 15 because you’re going to go straight to the next EMOM which will further fatigue your grip even more. If you can’t tell, grip strength is a point of emphasis this year because it’s so important come competition season. For the rows throughout this workout we’re looking for 1250-1500 for men and 950-1200 for women. Too much faster and you’ll build a lot of lactic acid. Any slower and you’re going to have major dropoff. If you find this workout not too difficult then we’re going to challenge you one step further. Pick a movement or two and see just how fast you can complete them during that minute. This will take it from slightly more aerobic to a little more anaerobic. These are the perfect workouts to work on speed and efficiency with certain movements (i.e. toes to bar and pull-ups) so give it a shot! Remember, just start, and stay ahead!
