TARGET SCORE

Time Cap Each Set: 4 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! We all know what this combo feels like and can do to your mental state. Goal should be to test the waters with a less aggressive pace early on and then see if we can increase across the next 2 sets. Set up 3 barbells so you are not tempted to over rest.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! Run and Thrusters….Do we need to say more? Embrace the suck!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Thrusters: Weight starts heavy with low reps and the steady decreases in weight, but increases in reps. Regardless of weight the goal should always be to complete the thrusters unbroken. Find a steady and consistent pace across all reps that allows you to keep your breathing pattern controlled and somewhat calm. Pause at the top of each rep for half a second to allow for a solid breathing point.

Run: Pacing on the bike should be attacked at a moderately fast pace. 75-80% which is not a sprint but also no walk in the park. The distance decrease each set so the goal should always be to get the bike rolling and then wind down the last 2-3 calories for a smooth exit.

Try to keep transitions to the next station around 10-15 seconds. Don’t stare at the bar… PICK IT UP!!!
