Workout Brief

Feel: Reach/Muscle / Pace: Interval

The goal of this workout is to achieve a similar amount of reps each round. It is inevitable that the cumulative fatigue will become hard to manage, so start slow and give yourself room to improve each round. Each 400m Run should be a sprint!

Workout Brief

Feel: Muscle / Pace: Grind

All sets in the strength should feel challenging. The final set of four should be as heavy as you can lift on the day! In the workout, don’t sleep on the sets of ten Back Squats. The Push Ups will definitely add up, but use a Barbell weight you can keep unbroken.
