OBJECTIVES, STIMULUS & STRATEGY

GOALS
10:30-16:00
STIMULUS
High Skill Triplet / Grip Fatigue Management
RPE
8/10
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Complete the buy-in (80 Double Unders + 24 Dual KB Farmers Lunges) by 2:15 on the clock each interval, leaving at least 45 seconds for Bar Muscle-Ups.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
Manage grip fatigue across all four intervals. Prioritize quick lunge sets in the first two rounds and use the 1:00 rest intentionally to open the hands and recover.
Workout Strategy
"Spirit" rewards athletes who front-load the effort and manage the grip tax intelligently. The double unders should be fast and unbroken, this is not a movement where athletes should be tripping and resetting, so if the jump rope is inconsistent, take one planned break rather than multiple failed attempts. The Dual Kettlebell Farmers Lunges are the defining movement of each interval. Athletes who can push these fast and only one or two quick breaks in rounds one and two will arrive at the bar with more time and more gas. By rounds three and four, breaking the lunges into a few more quick sets may be the play, but avoid setting the bells down for longer than 3-5 seconds. When athletes reach the Bar Muscle-Ups / Pull-Ups, the goal is to work in chunks with sets of three to five in the early intervals, dropping to singles or doubles late if needed. The 30-rep completion goal means athletes need to be accumulating reps every interval, not just surviving the buy-in. Use the full 1:00 rest to shake the hands out, breathe, and approach the next interval with a clear plan rather than just jumping back on the rope.
Movement Modifications
Double Unders: Single Unders (1.5:1 ratio) / Reduce rep count for athletes still developing consistency
Dual Kettlebell Farmers Lunges: Reduce load as first adjustment / Single Kettlebell Farmers Lunge alternating / Bodyweight Reverse Lunges
Bar Muscle-Ups: Banded Bar Muscle-Up / Box Bar Muscle-Up / Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups / Kipping Pull-Ups / Ring Rows or Jumping Pull-Ups
