Notes:
Women and children can start with 45 lbs. and add ten each set.
Give yourself one point for each set successfully completed with 3 reps.
End with three more reps at the last weight completed with three reps and
work your way back down with two more reps (3,5,7,9...) with each reduction
in weight all the way back to 65 pounds.
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.
