Goal: Complete each set in ~4:30, leaving ~1:30 recovery before the next interval
Score: Slowest Set
Stimulus: Mixed-Modal Conditioning / Gymnastics Under Fatigue
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Maintain consistent split times across all 6 rounds.
Secondary Objective: Looking to complete the GHD’s and Bar Muscle-Ups Unbroken
Strategy:
“Bar Chase” is a high-skill aerobic piece that layers core, monostructural work, and gymnastics. Treat the first run and GHD as a fast but composed start. On the Echo Bike, push at 85–90% effort—quick but not all-out—so you have legs left for the second run. The bar muscle-ups are where form will break down under fatigue. Plan efficient sets from the start (singles or small touch-and-go clusters), ensuring no failed reps. Each interval should feel like a repeatable sprint with enough recovery to reset grip and heart rate before the next set. A note that we are moving to Burpee Pull-Ups today as the adjustment for the Bar Muscle-Ups which will generally mean a more intensive aerobic output than as much high skill work.
Movement Adjustments (If Needed)
Bar Muscle-Ups: Modify to burpee chest-to-bar pull-ups, burpee pull-ups, banded muscle-ups, or burpee jumping pull-ups.
GHD Sit-Ups: Adjust to short range of motion GHD Sit-Ups or substitute with V-Ups, Weighted Abmat Sit-Ups, or just traditional sit-ups
Run: Reduce to 150m if athletes struggle to meet the time goal, or swap for a 12/9 Calorie Ski or Row if weather or if running injury is a concern.
Echo Bike: Lower to 12/9 calories if needed to stay under 1:00
