On Monday we are going to tackle a fun leg grinder. Tuesday will be a three-set workout with three quick, short rounds back and forth, where you will aim for consistency across the board. Buckle up for Wednesday as we grind through eight sets of fast-paced thrusters and burpees with a 1:1 work-to-rest ratio. Thursday’s workout is a steady grind of consistent running and climbing deadlift reps. You will be challenged on Friday with holding a steady pace on the rower while navigating through some high-skilled gymnastics. Saturday’s partner workout will be a high-heart-rate mix, incorporating a solid bi’s and tri’s pump for partners.

Whiteboard of the Day
STIMULUS: This is a high-skill gymnastics workout under moderate rowing fatigue. The row provides pacing and blood flow, while the gymnastics demands upper-body control and stamina. Athletes should aim to stay smooth and composed on each set rather than push the pace early.
STRATEGY & FLOW:Start each 5:00 interval with a strong but controlled 500/450m row. This should take around 1:45–2:00. Go straight into bar muscle-ups with as few sets as possible, ideally unbroken or 2 quick sets. Finish with a confident and deliberate handstand walk (or 2 wall walks), then rest the remaining time before the next interval. Stay consistent across all 3 sets, adjusting pace slightly if technique falters.
Row- Approach: Row at a strong pace that leaves you ready to attack the gymnastics, not gassed. Execution: Around 80-85% effort, no redlining. Stay upright in the stroke for better breathing.
Bar Muscle Ups- Approach: Focus on smooth kips and transitions. Stay composed after the row. Execution: Use hips, not arms, relax the grip and breathe between reps/sets if needed.
Handstand Walk or Wall Walks- Approach: Commit to clean, confident movement rather than rushing. Execution: Kick up with purpose, stay tight, and breathe through your core.
