Today is a hybrid effort from several training modalities and tough!!
After a warm-up:
Move through the following with a 60 second break between exercises.
Row 500 meters for a record time.
Squat 20 RM weight 20 reps (20 RM is a weight you can squat 20 reps but not 21.)
Pull-up for PR (shoot for personal best)
Deadlift 10 RM weight 10 reps
Dips for PR (shoot for personal best)
Rest 10 minutes
Move through the following with a 2-minute break between exercises.
Row 500 meters match first effort
Squat same weight for twenty reps
Pull-ups for same count as first set
Deadlift same weight for 10 reps
Dips for same count as first set
Rest 10 minutes
Move through the following with a 3-minute break between exercises.
Row 500 meters match first effort
Squat same weight for twenty reps
Pull-ups for same count as first set
Deadlift same weight for 10 reps
Dips for same count as first set
The idea today is to strive to match the performance of the first pass on the second and third.
1) "Warm Up": Bike 20 minutes at a warm-up pace.
We are doing three sets of back squats at twenty-one reps each.
Choose a weight that you feel you can handle comfortably for
twenty-one reps of regular back squats. These specialized movements
are tough! Make damned sure you warm-up thoroughly with "air squats"
and stretching first.
2) "Power squat": Lower and rise as quickly as you can while maintaining
PERFECT form. Repeat 20 times.
3) "Bottom to bottom": Lower to full squat position (thighs parallel to floor),
hold for a full ten seconds, rise and immediately upon full extension of hip
and leg return to bottom and hold for ten seconds. Repeat 20 times.
4) "Super slow": Take twenty seconds to reach bottom and twenty seconds
to reach top again. Repeat 20 times.
5) Finally, how long can you maintain a 2:00 min. 500-meter pace average?
Set the rower for "Avg 500 meter pace" and stop and record the time at the
instant you fall under the 2:00 minute average (2:00 for men and 2:10 for women).

On the C2 rower:
Pull a sub-1:25/500-m pace for as long as possible
Rest 3 minutes
Pull a sub-1:30/500-m pace for as long as possible
Rest 3 minutes
Pull a sub-1:35/500-m pace for as long as possible
Rest 3 minutes
