Number of intervals.Only do the final interval IF you feel like you can still maintain the same or close to your previous output

Overview. Alternating 5-minute intervals that blend a high aerobic demand with skill and light barbell cycling. A1 uses the Nike to elevate breathing and heart rate that’ll challenge your ability to keep cycling through the triplet. A2 doesn’t have a buy-in, so there are more transitions to manage. Your aim is to keep moving steady without hesitation in transitions.
Overall this session is about repeatable output, hold your pace and scores steady across intervals.
Effort. Work at ~8.5-9/10. Each interval should feel hard by minute two and stay there. You should finish knowing you could reproduce a similar effort after the 3:00 rest. If your round count drops noticeably on the second exposure, the opening pace or movement choices were too aggressive.
Feel. Breathing and heart rate will climb fast and stay high. Push yourself to start hard for the first 30-45 seconds (this both drives the adaptation we’re looking for and mimics what tends to happen in competition events). Remember, comfort is not the goal.
Adaptation. Builds high-aerobic capacity and repeatability. Improves the ability to regain control after an aerobic spike and sustain efficient barbell and gymnastics work with limited recovery.
Debrief. Take 2–3 minutes after the workout to reflect
– Were your outputs consistent across all A1 and A2 intervals?
– Which element limited you most: the run/air bike, barbell cycling, or gymnastics?
– Did your pacing allow you to keep movement quality late in each AMRAP?
– What adjustment would help you narrow the gap between your best and worst round next time?
– What two (2) things can you be proud of in this session? What one (1) thing must you improve?
