We are ready for a break from the neurological and orthopedic stresses of
weightlifting and hard and heavy leg work.

Here is an interval that the NSCA identifies as being smack dab in the middle
of the lactic acid metabolic pathway. Remember one of the advantages of
interval training is that we get extended exposure to cardiovascular work
without the muscle wasting consistent with extended aerobic work.

On the Concept II Rower set up for intervals and go all out for 60 seconds
Row easy for two minutes.
Repeat for a total of fifteen efforts.

This is a total of forty-five minutes, yet the work is designed to enhance anaerobic
capacity. Now here’s the really cool part: even though this work is predominantly
anaerobic (lactic acid pathway), it carries a heavy aerobic benefit without the
disadvantages of reducing speed, power, and strength known to accompany
aerobic training.

On setup scroll the display to show meters in the lower window. On your first
effort throw as many meters up in the minute as you can. On the subsequent
fifteen efforts fight for as much of the first distance as you can.

On completion use recall to scroll through all fifteen intervals and record and
submit the meters rowed for each interval.

If you need help setting up the rower email us at [email protected].
If you don’t have access to a Concept II Rower, buy one.

Today we are rowing some intervals that take us to the middle of the lactic acid pathway.
Set the CII Rower for intervals a minute long with a minute's rest.
We are going to row ten of the intervals. This is a twenty-minute workout.
On the efforts, set the rower to projected meters and row the first interval at 95%
On the rest, row easy, maximizing your recovery.
On subsequent intervals attempt to repeat the distance covered on the first interval.
Submit your total distance for each of the ten intervals.

IF YOU CAN'T ROW,
On a track run a lap, walk the next. Repeat until you've run ten and walked ten.

Time only the runs, total and submit.

This is an amazingly complete workout in only twenty-four minutes.

Set-up the rower for intervals of twenty seconds work and ten seconds rest.
Set the rower to display meters in the lower window. Go all out on the first effort.
On subsequent efforts work to capture as many meters as in the first effort.

In the same interval pattern, 20on/10off X 8,
Squat (air squat).
Same interval pull-ups.
Same interval push-ups.
Same interval sit-ups.

If you transition from one exercise to the next in ten seconds, this is a
twenty-minute workout. For all but the best athletes this will be all but impossible.

Transition from one exercise to the next as quickly as you can. One-minute maximum
transition break! No ranking will be considered for total time that exceeds twenty-four minutes.

Ranking is based on least number of meters in each of eight rowing intervals, and least
reps in each of eight intervals for each of the other four exercises.

Submission includes five numbers: least number of meters in rowing, least number of squats,
least number of pull-ups, least number of push-ups, and least number of sit-ups.

If nobody minds, we'll give the legs a little break today-

How many pull-ups can you do in an hour?

Success comes here by pacing and not going to failure on any set.
Rankings will be by weight class.

Don't be foolish and fill in with any met-con (cardio) or other work.
You don't know what looms! Also, if you're current with the path
the other athletes have been following and your intensity has been
worthy of your best efforts you are long overdue for a reduced
metabolic load.

Our "Workout of the Day" is engineered with great dilligence to care for
ALL of your fitness needs. If some days seem too easy that is because
workouts either before or coming are tortuous and the backing off is
warranted. We are feeding you a regimen that represents the ultimate
challenge for the world's best athletes.

If you are concurrently training for sport, like most of our athletes, temper
your efforts to allow for successful sport training. This is a learned skill
requiring a finely honed sense of self. On the days when your sports
training regimen is lighter, tear it up with our strength and conditioning
workout. On days when your sports training regimen is tough, moderate
your efforts. Many of our athletes are able to engage the "Workout of the Day"
right up to and during competition by just "going through the motions" while
still "doing" the daily workout.

Again, the "Workout of the Day" is designed to accomodate additional sport
training, recreational activity, or stand alone by simply modulating the intensity
of your effort. If you need help with this concept email at [email protected]
and one of our coaches will gladly help you come to terms with this.

Set the Concept II Rower for intervals of two minutes of work and two of rest.
During the work row an easy 500+ meters .
During the "rest" powerclean as much of your bodyweight as you can 15 reps.
Before the two minute "rest" is over, get back to the Rower and strap in before timer zeroes.
On zero begin rowing immediately.
Continue this for a total of twenty minutes or five rounds of the couplet.

Notes:
1. All Rowing efforts must be better than 500 meters, i.e.,
less than 2:00 minute 500 meter pace.
2. No late starts on the rowing intervals.
3. Your fitness can be scored by the percentage of bodyweight
you use for all five efforts.
4. The powerclean is a hang clean, actually.
5. You are very welcome.
