Dumbbell: 30/20lb, 14/9kg
Wall Balls: 14/10lb, 6/4kg
Goal: 1:15-1:35/Set
Stimulus: Muscular Endurance and Stamina
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Unbroken Sets
Secondary Objective: Consistency across all sets
Workout Strategy:
Today the rest is short compared to our work time, but the intensity is intended to be moderated to a consistent, RPE 8 effort that allows for good consistency on that short rest window. Keep the Wall Balls controlled and keep breathing. From there, the pull-ups should be done unbroken or in 2 quick sets before tackling the Dumbbell Snatches. These are meant to be very manageable and the focus should be on up tempo cycling. Minimize transition times with optimal gym set-up and keep yourself moving fluid between movements and sets.
Modifications:
- Wall Balls: Lighten the Load or move to Air Squats
- Pull-Ups: Adjust to jumping pull-ups or we can move to banded strict pull-ups or ring rows
- Alternating Dumbbell Snatch: First look to adjust the loading, then move to the hang position and if needed adjust to Kettlebell Swings
