THURSDAY 08/21/2025

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 workout is a classic ascending ladder that pairs a consistent 200m run with increasing reps of moderately loaded deadlifts. The barbell should feel light-moderate (around 50–55% of 1RM deadlift) to allow for fast, consistent sets early on and manageable breaks as the reps increase. The run acts as a built-in recovery and will quickly become a mental hurdle once the deadlift volume builds.

STRATEGY & FLOW: The run should be done at a steady but controlled pace, using it to recover and keep breathing in check. Deadlift sets will start unbroken but need strategic breaks as the rounds go on. The goal is to manage grip and posterior fatigue without falling into excessive singles or long breaks. Athletes should avoid redlining early, as the time domain and rep scheme reward sustained effort.

Deadlifts (185/125): Approach: Unbroken through the first few rounds. Begin breaking into 2-3 sets by the round of 20+. Weight should be light (50-55% of 1RM). Execution: Use a strong hip hinge and stay tight through the core. Avoid bouncing reps or letting the bar drift.

Run (200m): Approach: Keep a steady pace that allows you to get right to the barbell without hesitation. Execution: Relax your shoulders, control your breathing, and focus on quick turnover.
