Overview. The challenge in these workouts is to (find the right pace to) keep moving. The barbells are not light but you can get through them in 1-2 sets each round, then the question is how hard you should and are willing to push the gymnastics without hesitating on the barbells.
Strategy.
Part A – Depending on your strength, you might choose to break the 15 and 12 FS just to avoid digging too deep of a hole to start the workout. You can squat clean the 1st rep. Make sure you breath during the sets and don’t let your balance drift forward to the toes too much.
The key on burpee pull-ups is to keep your rhythm. It is very easy to zone out here and lose valuable seconds that then add up over 45 repetitions. Don’t rush the transitions between the movements (walk) but do aim to get back to work ASAP, especially on the burpee pull-ups (ok to take a few breaths before the squat sets as needed).
Part B – The key to understanding this kind of a rep scheme is that once you finish the round of 8 reps, you’re essentially half-way through. So the sets will be bigger at start but the transitions take relatively (to work) more time as you get deeper into the workout. This means:
– Be smart at the start and don’t hesitate to break the DLs to 2 sets if you think it’ll pay-off later.
– Stay focused in the transitions when you get deeper into the workout (more tired, easy to lose time drudging around). Walk to the bar or box and get to work.
– Start steady and try to push the pace towards the end
Try to relax the legs a bit during the transitions as this combo will hammer them and it’s easy to get too stiff or even cramp.
