Overview. We are back to 3-minute intervals with a slightly heavier barbell. Each interval pairs cyclical effort with barbell into burpees and tests your ability to stay composed above threshold. The focus is repeatable intensity: push hard, but stay in control enough to hold consistent scores across all six rounds.
Effort. Work at about 8.5–9/10 effort. Each interval should feel fast and still controlled. You’re pushing the pace, but still moving well. Aim to keep the same number of burpees on each repeat of interval. IF YOU’RE NOT MAKING IT TO BURPEES, SEE MOVEMENT OPTIONS.
Feel. Expect hard effort from the start and recovery that never feels complete. The combination of short rests and high heart rate will make the later intervals feel heavier, but if you pace it right, you should be able to keep moving.
Adaptation. Build high-intensity repeatability and aerobic recovery above threshold. Improve efficiency in cyclical-to-barbell transitions while developing local muscular endurance. Work on control and pacing under sustained fatigue.
Debrief. Take 2–3 minutes after the workout to reflect
– Were your burpee numbers steady across rounds, or did you start too hard?
– Which pairing part felt harder to recover from?
– Did you manage to stay composed on the movements?
– What small adjustment would help you maintain better output next time?
