Overview. Two AMRAPs today. The 1st one will start fast and then settle into a steady grind as the reps climb up. Key to success here is to find a rhythm that fits your capacity (rest between sets, transitions etc.). It’s also a great opportunity to practice consistency on the cleans under fatigue.

Do your best on the 2nd piece to keep the WBs and bMUs in unbroken sets. Control the pace with the SkiErg and transitions.

Strategy. Part A will naturally start a little faster but then settle into a pace. Be patient at the start to save some energy for the 2nd half of the AMRAP (where the work really begins). Aim to keep the DUs unbroken. It goes without saying that squat cleans should be done as singles. Use the transitions to rest and aim to always get the 1st rep in on the next movement before resting more (get in the race).

IF you can keep the WBs and bMUs unbroken on part B then the pacing takes place in the ski and the transitions. Have target rounds (e.g. 6 rounds) in mind and this will give you “max time/round” to hit your target (e.g. here 1:20/round).

Instructions. Set the equipment up 2-3m apart (this is your in-built rest).

Debrief.
– How was your pacing through each AMRAP?
– At what round did part A start to get hard?
– How did your SkiErg pace progress as the AMRAP went on?
– How were your transition times? Could you get straight to work each time?
– How would you change your approach and finish faster knowing what you know now?
– What two (2) things can you be proud of in this session? What one (1) thing must you improve?
