Secondary Objective: Keep the GHD Sit-Ups and Box Jump Overs to under 1:00 each
Workout Strategy:
This workout is all about consistency across rounds while managing fatigue and interference from core and quads. Start each set with smooth, unbroken GHD Sit-Ups—avoid rushing to keep your midline from blowing up early. On the row, settle into a strong but sustainable pace (around 85–90% effort), focusing on efficient strokes to conserve energy. Transition quickly to the box for fast, controlled jump overs—stay low and step down from the box maintaining rhythm. Aim to keep each round within a consistent time range, ideally around 3:30–4:00, leaving just enough rest to recover and hit the next set with intensity.
Movement Modifications:
Box Jump Overs: We should adjust to a lower body height or move to alternating step-ups as the primary subs for the day.
GHD Sit-Ups: We can reduce the range of motion for the GHD Sit-Up, V-Ups, or move to Medball Weighted Sit-Ups as suitable modifications today.
500/450m Row: Can be subbed for Ski Erg or 1000/900m Bike Erg as the best alternatives. If needed we can move to 30/22 Calorie Echo or 33/25 Calorie Assault.
