Coaches Notes
Your shoulders are in for a real treat with this one!
We’re looking for that 100 meter carry to take 0:55-1:15. You should be able to do the carry without resting, but it may be a good idea to take a quick break at the halfway point in an effort to save your shoulders.
The push up + pull across are for sure the make-or-break movement in this workout. Be smart. Break them up early, even if you have decent push up stamina. If you struggle with push ups, today is not the day to do them from the toes. You can drop to your knees and keep the plank pull across, or go with elevated push up + taps.
Because of the heavy shoulder fatigue, going with the double unders would be a bit of an added challenge in this workout. If you want to save your shoulders for a better effort with push ups, go with single unders.
