Workout Brief

Feel: Muscle / Pace: Gas

With three total sets and 16 minutes in the strength, we really want to push how heavy we go. Utilize the clock to get 3-4 minutes between your heavy sets. Your last set of 3 should be a PR, it’s okay if you only get one or two reps. In the workout, the ascending rep scheme will really challenge the grip after the round of 12. Stick to moderate sized sets and try your best to stay moving.
