Feel: Triple Threat / Pace: Gas

Week Two of our strength cycle are heavy sets if three! If you struggle lifting heavy weights for high volume, take 90% of your 1RM and use that to calculate your percentages. The final set is a max rep attempt, stop one rep short of failure so you don’t have to bail the squats. In the workout, stick to a 70-75% effort on the Rower so you can maintain big sets on the Barbell.

All of the work in today’s workout is split in half between partners except for the 800m run. The Dumbbell weight is light enough that you should be able to push big sets! In the Cashout, use the whole clock and focus on good quality reps. Your Strict Pull Ups should be a hard set of five, so add a band if you need assistance, or add weight if bodyweight is too easy.
