Athlete Notes:

What better way to test our fitness than by completing a workout that the fittest on earth did not too long ago. For the logistics of the workout, we had our in-house athletes turn around every 15 reps on the pull-ups (to simulate changing pull-up bars and help them keep track), and we had them do 12 lunges for each of the 36 foot segments (due to spacing considerations). For how to approach the workout, let’s start with the row. Should we throttle down and hammer this out? No. If the fittest on earth were hitting this at a comfortable pace, then you should too. We don’t want to see any 500 meter row PR’s here. This should be done at around what you’d hold for a 2k row. Up next we’ve got the chest to bar pull-ups. Here is where strategy comes in to play. If you’re switching around every 15 reps like we recommend, then that changes how many of you will break it up. We’d recommend trying to hit each of the 15 reps unbroken, or in 2 sets for as long as you can. Now, remember, there’s no time for tearing our hands in training, so please be smart here. After the pull-ups we’ll move to the lunges. This is the finale of the workout, so hang on here as best you can and try to hang on knowing that you’re almost done! Have some fun, tell us some of your wins, and see how you stack up against some of the elites!
